Thought as a continuation of the work "for scarpa's fountains” [forms of minutiae, 2020], the composition "waterlilies in fontiform" weaves field recordings made in, on, and around the Tomba Brion in San Vito d'Altivole. Designed by the Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa in the 70s, this burial ground materializes as a garden guided by a multitude of lines made of concrete, metal, marble, and glass. Yet as one wanders in this peculiar landscape, one soon realizes that concrete isn’t the tomb’s primary material, water is. As if submerged, the graves are encircled by basins interconnected by a network of fountains, rivulets, and pipes. Water striders, sporadic frogs, vibrant fish and tapestries of waterlilies glide over sunken pyramidal stepped edges, echoing ruins of bygone architectures. An aqueous rhizome at the heart of the garden which steers us through the whole sanctuary. The composition brings listeners into the various materialities of the space and the underwater hums of the fontiform network's machinery. Moreover, subtle algae photosynthesis, muffled voices of human visitors, and the garden's avian inhabitants infuse with life the architect's carefully organized matter. Ambiguous feelings arise as if perched in equilibrium on the crests of the tomb's multifarious structures. The piece ends with openings (both geographical and temporal) as the uncanny murmurs of the flowing waters are joined by the drones of another (temporary) Venetian fountain, Claire Tabouret's sculpture "Deux Baigneuses'', before fading into the vespertine soundscape of a small Portuguese village. A midwife toad calls in the darkness, bells resound in a valley, as Brion Tomb’s architectonic specter lingers in the flowing waters.

> Note: Tomba Brion is also the resting place of Scarpa himself, who shared that "the place for the dead is a garden".

> Recorded in the Tomba Brion in Altivole (april 2022), Palazzo Cavanis in Venice (april 2022), and in Peneda-Gerês National Park (may 2023).
Recorded with Aquarian H2a-XLR hydrophone, LOM Uši Pro, LOM Geofón, SoundDevices MixPre-6 II, Sony PCM-D100.

система | system presents the release "Loose Ends" by Ukrainian-based artist Revshark aka Slava Dyadyun:

"The material for the album was created in 2022, the first year of the full-scale military aggression of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, and this greatly influenced the sound and style of the release. Field recordings and sound effects of drones, power generators, and armored vehicles are mixed with wide pads and slow guitar passages, sometimes dark and mystical, filled with noise inserts, and sometimes dreamy and hopeful. The record is completely imbued with a cocktail of moods of these times - uncertainty, a sense of stopped time, as well as nostalgia for a carefree past."

Revshark aka Slava Dyadyun:
"Матеріал для альбому був створений в 2022 році, в перший рік повномасштабної військової агресії РФ в Україні, і це дуже вплинуло на звучання та стилістику релізу. Польові записи та звукові ефекти дронів, електрогенераторів та бронетехніки змішуються з широкими педами та повільними гітарними пасажами, іноді мрачними та містичними, заповненими нойзовими вставками, а іноді мрійливими та обнадійливими. Запис повністю пронизаний коктейлем настроїв цих часів - невизначенності, відчуттям зупиненого часу, а також ностальгії за безтурботним минулим."

Loose Ends

Revshark - Mirage

‘Rejecting Fragility’ - is a recorder of emotions and experiences collected during a year of immigration to Tbilisi, a move that was initiated as a reactive decision to the unconformity towards the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine. It is about the loss of ambition and acceptance of responsibility, as well as the rejection of habitual beliefs and acceptance of fragility.

Delving into new surroundings, the mixtape acts as a postcard that envisions the technogenic bustle of Tbilisi. Similar to ‘Fashion Music for Scammers’, the release takes shape of a diary entry and attempts to record the constantly fluctuating moment of emotional fragility, where the atmosphere within the magical and serene corners of the city’s surroundings switches up rapidly with its concrete coldness, and the deep wormhole that is its nightlife. Hence the DIY, almost field-like approach to the recording of the material featured on the album. Most of the track were produced on an iPad, in which qwa created unique, autonomous ecosystems.

All proceeds from the digital release will be forwarded to hospitallers.ukraine_paramedic & lifeline.ge

Secrets (feat. 18+)

This was the audio used for my final MA project, as it was given as a live performance. I am planning to rework some of these tracks to work better as an album listen. 

II. Accelerando

Used the same modular system for yesterday which is morphagene, qpas, and mimeophon + a behringer crave. I think a lot of people look down on the crave (horrible name), but it's wonderful. Oddly the crave sits better on the desk than a Moog mother 32. Like a cascade down from my skiff case. So anyway, I went with the basic patch that the crave comes with backed by a reel which started as an acoustic guitar. Same reel from yesterday just went a little deeper smudge-wise.

Leif - Loom Dream LP
Release Date - 21st June 2019
Buy -https://whities.bandcamp.com/album/loom-dream

June 21st 2019 sees the release of Leif's 'Loom Dream’ LP. 

Made up of six tracks but presented as two ~17-minute pieces, the record meanders through warm chordscapes, glistening synths and loose live percussion, weaved together with field recordings and ambience. 

Loom Dream invites us to peacefully reconnect with the living world by placing us amongst lush sonic verdure. 

An interactive site created by Joseph Pleass and Alex McCullough accompanies the release, where users can navigate a virtual world, learning more about the plants referenced throughout the record (the site is best experienced on mobile via chrome) - whiti.es/020/

Artist: GES
Album: Anthology of American Pop Music
Label#: faitiche22
Format: LP/DL
Release: Oct 23rd 2020

Six great pop standards remembered: five pop songs are dissected by sampler, stretched, compressed, and re-collaged. In this way, their identity is lost. What remains is a vague concreteness: flashes of déjà vu and remote echoes that evoke the original.

GES Glossary (excerpts):

- Acoustic Surveillance Series
A 7-inch vinyl record series curated by GES focussing on historical methods of acoustic surveillance. Each record introduces a surveillance system from the past. Starting with Uguisubari in 2017, the series will continue with the release of Oreccio di Dionysio in 2021. GES is open to further suggestions on this subject.

- Circulations
What happens to copyright claims when music from a passing car is captured in a street recording? Is it legal to use this recording freely or is it necessary to obtain licensing rights? Circulations re-enacts this recording situation: audio players are placed in public spaces, where they reproduce the desired sample material. The acoustically choreographed space is then recorded, creating a field recording in which everyday noises circulate together with seemingly incidental music.

- Emancipation of Sampling
Fuelled by its criminalization, the act of sampling existing recordings forfeited some of its artistic prestige (see Sampling). GES wishes to rehabilitate and re-emancipate the practice of sampling as a form of art in its own right. Strategy: 1. Name samples and sources explicitly. 2. Choose samples that are as popular and as recognizable as possible (Beatles, Carpenters, etc.). 3. The editing and manipulation of the sample must not compromise its recognizability (negotiable). 4. Use as many samples as possible. 5. Always name more sample sources than were actually used in the composition. 

- Field Recording
A compositional practice widely used in sound art and ethnomusicology that involves the recording of natural acoustical phenomena. Two additional requirements are usually imposed: The recording process should take place outside a studio environment, i.e. outdoors. And the person recording does not generate any of the acoustic material him/herself. GES expands this definition by introducing the concept of choreographed public space (see Circulations).

- Gambling
An acoustic event favoured by GES, already used in numerous sound collages (must take place in public). The most popular option is thimblerig, a cup and ball gambling game commonly played in the street. Compositional instruction by GES: Place an audio playback device in the proximity of a thimblerigger. Play works for orchestra (by Debussy or Mahler). Move slowly towards the gamblers with a microphone.

- Kraftwerk
The German band founded by electropop musicians Florian Schneider-Esleben and Ralf Hütter (a.k.a. Die Prozessoren) is the natural enemy of GES. Protected by computer-generated avatars, Kraftwerk operates a quote-hostile cultural hegemony. Their strategy: Install a special brand in the collective consciousness by means of a sophisticated system of quotations and references that may in turn not be quoted by anyone else. Other bands with such delusions of omnipotence: U2, Metallica.

- Sampling
Compositional practice whereby recorded music is fragmented, turned into sound collages and transferred into different contexts of meaning. Since the advent of affordable sampling technology in the 1990s, the music industry has been trying to criminalize and/or promote the practice. Both strategies are driven by the same principle: Profit.

From ANM047 "Climat Avenir", by Simon Chioini — CD Digipack

Climat avenir ; portrait of unexploited lands, of deserted spaces, of a corrosive and venomous flora. Irked protagonists, roaming livestock, their acidic cries.
Beauty of the blue-green lakes, of the scintillating stars under clouds of bronze. The earth's foundational movement.
Crashing ice. Solar winds.
This work cycle is an imagined world voided of any human presence, or succeeding it. It is a prismatic composition: a vibrant landscape, a topographic map, an exploded geode.
Macro. Micro.
