The final volume of the Pulsar.scramble series. All tracks are composed using pulsar synthesis, an advanced form of particle synthesis used to generate trains of sonic particles. Its output ranges from singular impulses and sequences to continuous tones across multiple perceptual timescales. 

Most of the material presented in this series uses the New Pulsar Generator (nuPg) software designed by Marcin Pietruszewski.

On Hyperdelia’s first release »Erster Teil - Zweiter Teil - Dritter Teil« the recording studio takes eight musicians on astral travelling. The Serenus Zeitblom Oktett’s album is the beautiful result of a complexly processed abstraction of a live acoustic jazz ensemble becoming a hyperdelic space tentacle, reaching into bass depths and pop dimensions: one moment zooming into microscopic miniature sounds only to branch out into free floating airy planes in the next.

»Erster Teil - Zweiter Teil - Dritter Teil« is the debut LP of the Berlin based ensemble Serenus Zeitblom Oktett. The Oktett from Berlin consists of musicians with a broad pop, free jazz and contemporary music background. All eight musicians have worked in various formations and with various musicians, ranging from Efterklang’s Martyn Heyne (who also did post-production on the record) and Matthew Herbert to Ingrid Laubrock, Stargaze, Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra and many more. These diverse backgrounds inform the Oktett’s artificial but organic live sound-production aesthetic.

The ensemble is accompanied by a ninth member, the Klanggestalter. Both in the studio as well as live every instrument is being amplified and processed by filters and live algorithms, neutralising the difference of acoustic and electric instruments.

The LP comes with a special video documentary by Roman Hagenbrock (i am just a video girl). The video adds another poetic layer of abstraction: confusing sound, action and image.

A network of listening paths presented by Hildegard Westerkamp at the International Conference of the World Forum of Acoustic Ecology in Corfu, Greece in 2011. 

Acoustic Ecology is the research field created by the World Soundscape Project, an international research project founded by Murray Schafer, at the Simon Fraser University in Vancouver (CA) in the 1960s. As one of the core members of the project, Westerkamp developed her research about attention and listening awareness within soundscapes, and her educational approach through sound walks, field recording and radiophonic works, as well as her long-standing compositional practice.

In this talk she guides through the following questions: 'How can we find focus and balance in such a vast interdisciplinary intercultural field? In a field that has listening as its very core of study, and educational action, and therefore naturally touches on all aspects of life?'
