PRZEŚWITY for historical instruments and space of St.Mary’s Church

Nawiązując do przyjętej przez twórców estetyki gry – jej prostej czy też uproszczonej formy graficznej, pewnej umowności, symboliki, ustaliliśmy wspólnie, że oprawa dźwiękowa powinna nosić odpowiadające tym założeniom cechy.
Tak więc wiele dźwięków gry jest “uproszczonych”, o celowo zmniejszonej charakterystyce barwowej, “zdławionych” niską głębią bitową i częstotliwościami próbkowania.
Z uwagi na istotny element fabularny i związany z nim koncept naszego (gracza) położenia względem świata gry, SuperHot nie posiada muzyki rytmicznej, lecz utwory z pogranicza soundscape’u i muzyki akusmatycznej, pogłębiające doznania emocjonalne i osadzające gracza w zastanej rzeczywistości SuperHota w sposób możliwie naturalny.

Qualia (2010), 33 MIN
Stereo down-mix of six 4-channel site-specific compositions for the 'Ugly Duckling' exhibition by the artist 'OK' in London, Blackall Studios, 73 Leonard St, Shoreditch, EC2A 4QA 30.10 - 5.11.2010.

Over half-hour long work was presented in a loop throughout the duration of the exhibition. Four-channel format enabled the guests to bath in a mixture of both very subtle and quite aggressive sound structures corresponding with the works, the movement of the dynamic installations and interactive lighting. Philosophical approach to subjectivity in the context of individual and group perception and following interpretations of particular events and their environments were examined and experimented on by both artists (me and OK). Particular subjective quality of the experience induced in the witness of an interactive audio-visual forms provokes a question about their 'objective' value and character. To what degree one's opinion is affected by the others – through their own opinions but also simply through their presence? Fascinated by the concept of 'qualia', I decided to experiment with the viewer-listener to some extend. In the same time I looked for interactions and crossing points with the presented works as well as the site itself.

1. 'Secret tunnel' inspired by works 'Linear Jungle' (http://www.artofok.com/#/ugly_duckling/4), 'The Gate' (http://www.artofok.com/#/ugly_duckling/5) and 'The Ugly Duckling' (http://www.artofok.com/#/ugly_duckling/6)

2. 'Relatively safe place' inspired by the drawing 'Electronic Jungle' (http://www.artofok.com/#/ugly_duckling/3) in its 'upside-down' position.

3. Lost again inspired by Skype conversations with the artist. Travelling across OK's universe or my own's head maybe?

4. 'Fighting the Big Machine'. A small battle with OK's inner consciousness or maybe his battle with the concrete world or maybe just one of me with him...

5. 'Point of no return' inspired by the drawing 'Are you great' (http://www.artofok.com/#/ugly_duckling/7):
1. go down the stairs 2. meet the spider and the fly 3. hear distant flames and wind swirls 4. start spinning and briefly lose consciousness 5. wake up in the outer space (explore macrocosmos) 6. take the train (meet the duck again) 7. prepare to be attacked by a small machine saw 8. slide down the chimney 9. explore microcosmos and lose consciousness again 10. wake up in a circus 11. watch the factory burning 12. meet the underwater snail 13. sit down

Qualia - Ugly Duckling

From The Piano Makers, written by D. Wainwright:

The frame and strings
of a fully strung grand piano
must withstand the pressure
of about 20 tonnes

The Kemble piano factory in Milton Keynes was the last to exist in the UK until its recent relocation to Indonesia and Japan. Using binaural recordings made during a visit to the factory before its closure, The Piano Makers is a study of piano material and manufacture, and the idea of the tension and pressure that the instrument withstands.

With thanks to Peter Corney and all of the Kemble Pianos Ltd. employees at Milton Keynes for obliging my intrusion.
