Data Space 2

A microphone moves inside/outside a pair of ear-defenders while capturing the sound impulses coming from a construction site. A voice accompanies the action commenting on the microphone's positions and the resultant sonic qualities.

Rotterdam (2012)

A 89 years old woman sing along with the musical motif of a well know football stadium chant. Her fragile voice clashes with the physicality of the music. Here's the representation of the fight between life and death.

'UB' From forthcoming Album 'DUCTUS'

DUCTUS is the latest solo project by Paul Abbott, featuring 51 minutes of audio, across 12 tracks, and a 42 page booklet featuring new writing. DUCTUS was written and recorded in Edinburgh and Porto in 2019.

DUCTUS presents a playful weave of collapsing time through a number of speculative elements and fictional characters. Abbott feels his way through learning drums, rhythm and writing as fleshy research technologies. DUCTUS is the latest stage in a process considering sound, the body, imagination, and language through music. This features as part of ongoing investigations using real and imaginary drums, synthetic sounds, performance and writing.

Abbott has been developing a framework to explore edges of the sonic, semantic and material. Abbott’s musical instrumentation includes ‘basic’ acoustic drum kit elements (snare drum, bass drum, hi-hat cymbals), in combination with a combination of specific electronic audio technologies.* This includes ‘Orbit Pulse Seeds’ the ‘zGut’ wires and a physically modelled ’3D Snare’ membrane.** 

DUCTUS is an organic environment, a comedy of vibrations and signs, featuring the fictional characters DETECTIVE ENGINEER, QOSEL, and STRIKE. 

Moving (dancing) through DUCTUS, DETECTIVE ENGINEER and QOSEL work (play) together to attempt to learn about pulse (the wobble edge). DETECTIVE ENGINEER takes measurements, while QOSEL responds intuitively. They make 12 journeys at different angles. They listen and read, recording each journey in soot marks on fish glue (glass paper) sheets. Their notes are reproduced inside the accompanying booklet.  STRIKE attempts to inscribe a single event of non-contact: a stick falling from a hand to a drum head.

/////   Ecosystemic electroacoustic music   /////


I'm a drummer, composer, programmer living in Milan, Italy. 
My recent work revolves around real-time ecosystemic composition practices: creating situated sonic ecosystems that are in deep dialogue with their host space. Adaptive systems that can auto-regulate (or semi-autoregulate) and shape a dynamic sound form emerging from interactions between the space and a digital system (pure electronic or electroacoustic). 
Usually involved are:

	if indoor
- acoustic drums and percussions + digital signal processing (improvisation or with score)
- digital signal processing of the results of excitation carried out on the surfaces/structures/furniture/inhabiting objects of the host space, via actuators and other means 

	if outdoor
-the sounds autochtonous to a particular soundscape I’m in at the moment (currently running the newborn project "The Ecosystemic Camper")
