// UNFORTUNATELY THE RECORDING IS NOT THE GREATEST //

THE CENTAURS Episode 8: Carl Stone 
With Support from Peng Zhuang and SoundSpade

Carl Stone is one of the pioneers of live computer music, and has been hailed by the Village Voice as "the king of sampling." and "one of the best composers living in (the USA) today." He has used computers in live performance since 1986. Stone was born in Los Angeles and now divides his time between San Francisco and Japan. He studied composition at the California Institute of the Arts with Morton Subotnick and James Tenney and has composed electro-acoustic music almost exclusively since 1972. His works have been performed in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, South America and the Near East. In addition to his schedule of performance, composition and touring, he is on the faculty of the Department of Media Engineering at Chukyo University in Japan. 

Stone utilizes a laptop computer as his primary instrument and his works often feature very slowly developing manipulations of samples of acoustic music, speech, or other sounds. Because of this, as well as his preference for tonal melodic and harmonic materials similar to those used in popular musics, Stone's work has been associated with the movement known as minimalism.

History of Transhumanism w/ Max More & Natasha Vita-More | FUTURES Podcast #12

I made some quick sound sketches with the brand-new Arturia OB-Xa. Expect more from this soon, but here you go - it doesn't have to sound like 80s pop. Love that cross-modulation.

OB-Xa is angry (Arturia sample)

Music for the Isolation was recorded in a small hotel room in Durham, North Carolina during the initial outbreak of the coronavirus in the USA.
