Name: no (silence, just) once by Jukka-Pekka Kervinen in Quantum Spins (Selected by Jeff Gburek)
Duration: 11 min 3 s
Description: for clarinet, viola, piano and electronics.

Beautiful work to my ears! I love the slow pace the knocking like boats in a harbor, the slow sounds from the instruments, the stream sound.

Quantum Spins sounded like a good alertnative sound arts podcast playlist title, at least for starters. I'd been thinking about how to re-present sounds, music, audio, ideas about sonic & vibrational phenomena that I had been listening to or thinking about seriously and now here it is. My aim is to expose listeners to items I've found particularly fertile, inspirational and essential either in that they back up or initialize my own catalytics or genuinely throw a spanner into overly aggregrated or pat systems of how music and information should be organized or presented. This is a depot for highly charged works of art, maybe even a museum but not a venue (I am not seeking submissions nor for what some algorithm deems to be similar nor to have more of the same, not at all). I put here certain works I might have wanted to make if I had had the means or situation to do so and/or things I could never have imagined before. Many thanks to the perhaps yet unwitting (and future unknown) contributors ;)  Leading image from Marta Zapparoli's track is a photo of her recording auroera borealis: photographer Alex Conu.

The record was made entirely with one monophonic analogue synthesizer (an Arturia Minibrute) and just a few raw field recordings, providing some natural background noise. Having been created during the various lockdowns, working with constraints seemed to me the most natural thing to explore. Considering also that since I bought the synthesizer I struggled to get out of it an "ambient" sound of some kind, my attempt was also to work with something problematic. Both things paralleled the limitations and troubles we experienced in real life. The raw sounds of the filtered oscillators, altered only by some pedal fx and sometimes live-looped through an ipad app, were subsequently equalized and layered.

Nicola Fornasari: arturia minibrute, field recordings, gauss field looper on ipad, pedal fx, processing.

SenSen - Hueso

Despite being essential to life on Earth, the magnetic field isn’t something we can actually see in itself, or ever hear. But, remarkably, scientists at the Technical University of Denmark have taken magnetic signals measured by ESA’s Swarm satellite mission and converted them into sound – and for something that protects us, the result is pretty scary.

You Are Never Alone But...

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.

I'm not enough, I wish I was. body, mind, and soul.
I will be enough. 
True Human, True Sorrow.
Love Is Art, Art Is Love (True Human) 
This album is about many things. The concept of love. 
The idea that everything is beautiful, 
but it's mainly about what it means to be human. 
Accepting your flaws, accepting who you are. 
Being yourself and loving yourself. 
I understand that is a very difficult task, but i believe that makes it even more beautiful. Remember your past and accept yourself you've done well. 
true human, true sorrow, true peace.

My Body Is The Forest, The Forest Is My Body is a sound track, which accompanies the video project(phot. Jacek Jaca Wisniewsky),  under the same title, shot in the endangered zone of Bialowieza Forest.
This project searches to understand better the interrelation between the body and the forest through the
similarities which connect both organisms and to make it present to a viewer, aiming at changing the sociopolitical distance between the body of the viewer and the forest bringing it closer together instigating a more intimate relation between the two.
Bialowieza is one of the last remaining parts of the primal forest that once stretched across the northern European lowlands and a designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is home to many rare and unique species of wildlife including being the only area, where the european bison still survives in the wild. It is currently under threat from increased logging, which is the policy of the new polish government. The policy is very controversial and subject to intense debate, which gives a context to this project.
