The Stories We Tell Ourselves

"Spectral is a collection of tracks using either the Buchla 296 or 296e
Spectral Processor. It was fun taking it into different sonic universes to see 
what it would reveal. Enjoy!" - Todd Barton, 2022

In Unstable Music To Sleep While You're Awake, Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy has chosen to work with a random mechanism that breaks down the initial samples to rearrange them into building movements.

Caius Williams – 'Ame' (from 'Gwannach' - Otoroku, 2023)

"Subterranean Sky" - a 2002 collaboration between sculptor george deMerle and composer Scott Gibbons - is a spacial environment that defies everyday perceptions of mass, form and time. An incredibly strong yet lightweight plastic, originally developed by deMerle using materials from NASA, is the medium used to create delicate fabrics of a proposed alternate reality.

The first to propose putting art into space*, deMerle sculpts light out of darkness with this webbing to create environments which seem to defy gravity. In fact, a recent deMerle piece which was so large as to fill an aircraft hangar weighed only 1 lb total, suspended. deMerle is best known as a political activist who fights for civil liberties, and for many decades he was considered an Outsider artist. But his art is a natural extension of his politics, which celebrates the necessity of personal expression for self-actualization.

Gibbons' original audio score is incorporated directly into the piece, directed through speakers that are integrated into deMerle's ethereal sculpture.

Although this is their first collaboration, deMerle and Gibbons have been close friends since the mid-80's, and in many ways Gibbons' work with audio is the sonic equivalent of deMerle's webbed designs; both of which often suggest more than they reveal.

* Although the NEA was very excited to back this project in 1977, they were ultimately unable to do so as there was no category for this kind of proposal.

Scott Gibbons​​ has been composing music for more than 30 years, with a two-fold exploration into the possibilities of natural acoustic sound on the one hand, and those of audio technology on the other. Although he is a seminal and influential composer of Dark Ambient and micromusic, his work is not so easily pigeonholed. His compositions demonstrate an acute balance between delicacy and physicality, often focusing around frequencies that are at the outermost limits of human hearing, and embracing quietness as a central element. A series of early releases on the Sub Rosa label - based only on singular natural sound sources such as stones and air - has received praise from all over the world and provided inspiration for many "single-source" artists in their wake. He has created many unique electronic instruments for use on stage and has earned a strong reputation for his live performances. In fact his first live album - 1999's Field Notes - was one of All-Music Guide's "Best Albums of the Year" across all music genres. Gibbons has also created many works for large-scale spectacle with Groupe F to accompany fireworks which utilize the sound of pyrotechnics as part of the musical arrangement.

In addition to collaborating with Early Music ensembles including the Hilliard Ensemble and the Roberto Gini Ensemble, Gibbons has also worked wth Contemporary artists such as Dead Voices On Air, Not Breathing, and the Flying Luttenbachers. He has released more than 30 albums with various groups and solo, including seminal electro-acoustic works by Lilith: Stone (Sub Rosa: '92) and Redwing (Sub Rosa: '94) ; music created entirely from sounds recorded at the molecular level for the performance Unheard ('13) with Romeo Castellucci; a suite created from the writings of a goat entitled The Cryonic Chants (KML Recordings: '08) with Chiara Guidi ; forward-looking synthetic pop by Strawberry: Strawberry (Taigkyo: '02) ; critically acclaimed electronica by Orbitronik: My Computer My Stereo (Thousand: '99) ; and, with Golan Levin & Gregory Shakar: Dialtones / a Telesymphony (Staalplaat: '02), a performance for more than 200 cell phones. He has increasingly sought to intertwine music with other disciplines, and to collaborate with artists from diverse fields. He has created music and sonic events for the award-winning theatre productions of Romeo Castellucci and Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio (Genesi: From the Museum of Sleep, Tragedia Endogonidia, Inferno); Flame Tornado ('05) with Kevin Binkert of Survival Research Labs; music for the 120th anniversary of the Eiffel Tower which incorporated sounds of the tower itself, and a string of commissions for the Palace of Versailles with pyrotechnic company Groupe F; and Subterranean Sky ('01) with sculptor george deMerle. His compositions frequently appear in international loci such as the Swiss National Exposition (Switzerland), the ARS Electronica Festival (Austria) and the Louvre (France).
