Prisme

"…and this too will be swept away" was made in May 2020. The title is a quote from Roman Emperor and Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius (121–180). The decision to choose this title initially stemmed from references invoked by the sound materials used — water flowing, ticking clocks, sliding rock formations, etc. The piece also deals with the shift of perspective on the passing of
time in this time of pandemic. Additional interesting fact to mention: Marcus Aurelius died as result of a plague (most commonly thought to be Small Pox). During that plague he wrote his famous Meditations, a collection of his thoughts commonly seen as one of the most important writings of Stoic philosophy. This piece was composed entirely with the aid of WFSCollider in my home studio. I’ve employed my ideas about spatial audio, mostly dealing with the composition of large, scattered “fields” of sound versus small “points”. The piece does not deal with movement as such but rather the scattering of textures in a large sound field.
The form of the piece evolved fluently from the use of the basic materials and processes used. It is the first piece in a very long time where I employ the use of field recordings. These are combined with edited recordings of two electronic improvisations with digital feedback FM synthesis and the Benjolin analogue synthesizer developed by Rob Hordijk. Processing was mostly done digitally in WFSCollider. The field recordings were made at Høvikodden, a small beach headland in the Oslofjord that houses the Henie Onstad Kunstsenter and sculpture park and the headquarters of classification company Det Norske Veritas (their building’s ventilation system is sound material in a part of the middle section of the piece). Binaural rendering was done in Reaper using Aalto university’s Sparta AmbiBin plugin.
Thanks first and foremost to Ji Youn Kang for letting me participate once more in this festival. I’m also very grateful to Wouter Snoei for his WFSCollider software and especially for the fact he implemented the Ambix export option at my request.

02. "...and this too will be swept away" by Ernst van der Loo

The sonologist moves in the field of electroacoustic music, computer music and sound art. Instead of composing ‘with’ sounds, as is generally the case in instrumental music, in sonology the sound itself is composed in such a way that it gives expression to musical form. This can take place on the basis of the physical principles of sound, on the basis of perception or on the basis of purely compositional ideas.
