Lend Me Your Radio - Aug 21

forthcoming release from the archives;

These pieces were recorded in the 1990’s. There isn’t a date on the disc and the minidisc they were probably recorded direct to has yet to be found in those archives. That said the guitar featured was one that I purchased in the early nineties and always had a bit of a high neck. As I remember the pick-up and bridge later developed faults, rattles and quirks. I would guess mid-nineties. 

These pieces, naive as they are, have in them the materiality of my attempts to draw something from the faults, and of my own hand, slightly tired at the time.

MMXX-20 : SHIVA FESHAREKI - NEBULA (extract)

https://andrewpekler.bandcamp.com/album/klangturm-sounds-for-the-bell-tower-of-the-immanuelkirche-hamburg-veddel

"Klangturm" was commissioned by the Immanuelkirche church in Hamburg-Veddel. The church had recently replaced its bells with a loudspeaker and automated playback system and had asked a number of artists to compose music to be played hourly as well as shorter sounds to be played 15, 30 and 45 minutes past the hour. 

Thinking about what sounds have bell-like properties (but aren't bells) and taking into consideration the technical limitations of the bell tower's loudspeaker (mono, limited bass and high frequency), I decided to work with a limited pallet of just electric guitar and a few effects pedals (reverb, tremolo, pitch shifter, envelope). 

Each piece at the full hour is "previewed" by short fragments of its component parts at the preceding 15, 30 and 45 minute mark. Some, but not all, of the pieces include a time-telling element; a melody with the same number of notes as the hour. 

These pieces were played back from the bell tower of the church from 8 AM to 8 PM every day (except Mondays) during July 2021.

for experiencers

This is an Extract from the Premiere of my new solo performance "Interdimensional Generated Space", premiered in October 2022 at Panke Culture in Belin, as a part of the series (Von Antennenwäldern und Wellenozeanen) . 

A research-intensive piece focusing on the transcendental phenomenon of the Northern Lights. 
The planned performance uses the implement of self-made recordings from the Northern Lights, in combination with self-made crystal radio, plus light, detectors, and motors, to simulate a technological audio-visual version of Northern Lights in the performance space. “Interdimensional” specifically refers to the movement of energy between modes of perception. One part of this energy come from the composed mixture of “natural cosmic voices”; and another part is coming from the electromagnetic forces generated and captured in real time during the performance. The piece make full use of the contrasts of the invisible processes, to create a new experience of space, time, and human scale. 
This is an attempt to achieve a unique sonic dialogue 
between “Natural” and “Technological” world, a reflection on Nature that is imitated by technology in an anthropogenic age.
