Noise Occupation is Alec Hall, electric violin & electronics, and Aaron Einbond, electronics.  Both with backgrounds as score-based composers, we have come together to develop new contexts for quotidian noise and field recordings in an improvised setting and to develop generative strategies for real-time musical structures. With influences ranging from Berlin's Echtzeitmusik scene (Andrea Neumann), to environmental sound (Francisco Lopéz), to sound installation (Peter Ablinger), we hope to create a dialogue between real-time experimentation and its feedback (literal and figurative), bringing insight to new score-based works, as well as developing new models of audience-performer-environment interaction.
