Have been using the temp warehouse to play A lot of Intonarumori : ) and am working towards an album on duets with all manner of instruments. Som of this is live in the warehouse and some is wonderful people sending me files which I jam along too. The first piece is the  latter and features Ingvar's awesome BARP2600 (a pair of them) manipulations. If you want to know about the my ongoing Intonarumori investigations you can have a look here - https://www.matward.net/luigi-russolointonarumori

PUSHBACK [alt-mix] by The Windscale Blues Experiment

This is the twelfth piece in a series of Concrete Music pieces. The sounds are shadows of the sound in the eleventh piece, Points in isolation. The music is generative. The source-code can be found at github.com/danielstahl/concrete-music-11.

Shadows from points

FALL PUDDING

method: recording guitar (an electromatic in an open tuning it tends to lose), voice, tube xylophone (via contact microphone) and cheap ewi (set to horn, orchestra and shakuhachi respectively) via pedals
narration: in this phase, I am to spend quite a lot of time in such areas (waiting rooms, sometimes reminding of Kafka, sometimes of Sartre, sometimes of Beckett and nearly always reminiscent of the non-places described by Augé and made famous by Eno) - what better is there to do than compose expressionist poetry (and later forget to use a phaser in the far background, not shying away, though, from making old and new impairments part of the process, as usual)?

poem / copyright jo richter:

ausgestanzt und plastiform
da sitzen wir und warten
abmontierte pferde
mit lichttriefenden nüstern
die silhouette einer großstadt
aus bakterien und hoffnung

interlinear translation: indoor waiting area - a cacophony // punched out and shifting shapes / there, we are sitting / dismantled horses / with nostrils dripping light / a city skyline / made of bacteria and hope
