Nearly imperceptible shifts and trends, all the things that happen when you're not paying attention - and then something from that background noise erupts and changes everything...

The Descent | Horror Score, Soundtrack, Trailer Music

performed by: Sara Constant (piccolo, flute)- http://saraconstant.ca/

premiere: June 28, Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI

This piece is largely built upon various field recordings that Sara and I took with the goal of representing public and private spaces which we frequent on a regular basis. I have always cherished photography (and more recently field recording) as a means of documenting valuable times and places—with the hope that it will assist me in recalling and more deeply appreciating them after the fact. However, these never tend to satisfy their intention—rather appearing as something that is at once less and more real than the initial experience that I am attempting to save. I cherish the distanced perspective to reflect, but miss the quality of the initial experience—regardless of its significance. Creating a musical work with this underlying dynamic present allows for an interesting condition: the ability to aesthetically appreciate this echo of reality while contributing a new structure to engage the subjective factors of this perhaps distant memory. In this instance of composition and performance, we find new angles to engage with the distance of this initial act of documentation.

Thanks to Sara for her expertise, enthusiasm, and work, SPLICE Institute 2019 for facilitating this collaboration, Elainie Lillios for artistic guidance, Carter Rice for live sound, and Christopher Biggs for making the recording!

INTERVIEW 

_Who inspired you to make music? I was lucky to grow up in a family with an interest in music as my Father was playing several acoustic instruments for hobby. Among all the instruments (classic guitars, mandolins, violin, flute, ocarina etc) an early Italian keyboard made by Farfisa caught my attention and soon became my very first step into music making, later on (in the early 80’s) my first analog synthesizer (Roland SH09) landed in my room to be followed by the legendary TR 808 drum machine a polyphonic synthesizer (Roland Juno 60) and a tape recorder.  

_Which tracks or artists first got you into music? Early psychedelic and progressive rock music had a strong influence in my music analysis and when Computer World by Kraftwerk was released in 1981 that changed my perspective of music forever and gave me the inspiration to follow this path.

_Who would be the bands that describe the music that you typically create? Morton Subotnick, Autechre, early experimental music in general, everyday urban noises and various state of mind.

_Which famous musicians do you admire? Kraftwerk, Aphex Twin, Pink Floyd and many more / Or if you could go open a show for any artist who would it be? Gabor Lazar

_What is your favorite song to perform? Hereditary Target https://youtu.be/jyVzI6Thyaw

_Who would you most like to collaborate with? Ryūichi Sakamoto , Autechre , David Sylvian, Jon Hassell

_What's next?  Hypercube is finalizing his next release with Cyberspeak Label (Milan) which will includes couple of remixes by high profile IDM producers (can’t mention the names yet 😊, a new album of Hypercube tracks remixed by some great artists will also be released soon on Paracusia Media.

_What are you working on at the moment? I have just mastered Nuanane latest album to be released soon, I’m also finishing a cold wave synth album under my name to be released on Subcontinental Records and putting the basis for a deep space ambient album to be released on my artist page, I have also been involved in several radio shows, compilations tracks and bespoke composition works for the media, there are also plans to collaborate with some visual artists for the creation of a video and re issue of some early 90’s techno/trance albums I was active part of.
