PITA / FRIEDL - Caciara (excerpt)

From the new album - 'Sound Postcards from the Centre of the Periphery' by Manja Ristić and Mark Vernon.

We made this 13-track journey around the sounds and sonic histories of the island of Korčula. In addition to our own field recordings, we were given access to the audio archives of the local radio station, including recordings of folk customs, traditional songs, dances and music...

This album unites two specific sensibilities that for many years have been embedded in the domain of sound and radio arts. Although they arose from very different environments, their work explores similar issues around preserving personal sonic histories. By stirring up nostalgia and collective memory, both artists often refer to the importance of individual experiences in the poetic "body" of micro-communities. 

The artistic practice of both creators has been deeply immersed in the sonic strata of space and the imaginary narratives that emerge from it. A dedication to the culture of memory, the sounding of lost voices and an unorthodox approach to re-composing the soundscape, conveniently unites these two experimenters in a collaboration that arises from research into one particularly inspiring locality – the island of Korčula. 

In addition to their own field recordings the artists were given access to the audio archives of the local radio station, including sounds of local folk customs, traditional songs, festivities and music. The strong anthropological emphasis in this collection of works is intended to encourage a deeper consideration of the coexistence of people and the environment in a historically dense climate. The appropriation of the hidden narratives of a small town on the fringes of the European Union opens up new fields of reflection on identity that looks back at the "center of the periphery", pointing to the importance of "small" spaces in the creation of European heritage. 

‘Sound postcards from the center of the periphery’ will be stored permanently in the audio archives of Radio Korčula. Who knows, maybe someone will dig them out in 50 years and say: "...there you go! This will make your head ring!" 

Special thanks to Radio Korčula, Gordana Šuperak and Ivan Sardelic Šore. To Pere from the Marasa printing house and to all the fellow citizens of Korčula who found themselves on this album intentionally or accidentally.

This new release by Continuous Tone is a stereo mix of a live performance presented at Café OTO earlier this year. Kate Carr and Iain Chamber invited Tom to respond to their theme of “Rubbish Music” in which they take discarded objects as source material for live improvisations. The subsequent composition employs a pair of modified kitchen pedal bins as musical instruments; close mic’d, with the lids opening and closing periodically to modulate the sounds passing through and ‘prepared’ with bamboo sticks placed on the speaker cones inside so that low frequencies vibrate the metal lids.

Restless Leg

Soft Close (excerpt) from Restless Leg (Continuous Tone)

Raw sonic explorations of the tools I am designing at GRM. No external input, live capture with minor editing.

Showcasing a novel modulation system of my invention, recently implemented, that opens up possibilities going far beyond traditional CVs, LFOs and envelopes; in fact, I don't know anything quite like it 😳 The future of GRM Tools, however remote, will be interesting 🚀

GRM Development Diary 9

The interactions of these three musicians are effortless, and is the result of both remote and physically-collaborative engagements. Starting with percussion tracks laid down by Louis Wall, Damon Smith soon improvised upright bass over these tracks, and NNN Cook added such layers as synthesizer, electric organ, and saxophone. All members contributed deftly to edits and arrangements, and notably Fred Tompkins, a past Elvin Jones collaborator, played flute on “Spectre of Los” and the title cut of the album.

That this album exists so organically despite the variety of instruments and recording sessions used, is not only a testament to the musicians’ prowess, but also to the current hyper-ability of long distance music creation.

MEDINA VIBRATIONS is a collection of electroacoustic works from sound artist TOM WHITE. The material collected spans installation work, studio composition, and live recordings. Whirring stereo imaging and dense acousmatic soundscapes intertwine over four longform pieces, which foreground the tactility of full-spectrum immersive soundwork. Tom White utilises tape manipulation, electromagnetic activity, field recording, electronic processing and elements of musique concréte in this assemblage of recent material.
