Inside Ice Wind Fence, Oak Leaves Dropped Into Horsetail Ponds At Walltown Sur Rêve

Down In The Gold Pit

“You said a moment ago that everybody you look at seems to be a rabbit,” says the doctor to his patient in a cartoon by James Thurber. “Now just what do you mean by that, Mrs. Sprague?” Meanwhile, Mrs. Sprague recoils in horror at the vision of her therapist’s enlarged, leporine head. 

There is a rabbit who lives in the underbrush just behind Suss Müsik headquarters. We’ve named her/him Clover. Clover has grown to be fairly large and tends to regard humans with more curiosity than fear. Still, Clover can still easily escape from predators when compelled. Perhaps Mrs. Sprague could take a leaf from Clover’s book.

The rabbit is viewed in Chinese tradition as a calm, gentle yet crafty animal, whose energy emphasizes balance and intelligence. The phrase jiǎo tù sān kū (狡兔三窟) loosely translates as “a cunning rabbit has three burrows and more than one means of escape." With the arrival of the Lunar New Year, this is the approach Suss Müsik took with this week’s Junto.

The piece begins with a gentle piano arpeggio, broken into three fragments that randomly shift cadences like a tone poem. A fake fretless bass moves things along until a DIY synth glitches things up. Brief stabs of percussion interrupt the calm, gentle atmosphere, yet the overall feeling is one of balance and crafty intelligence (or whatever the Suss Müsik equivalent would be).

The piece is titled Jiǎo Tù Sān Kū. The image is based on an etching owned by The Welcome Collection, the use of which is covered under Public Domain Mark (PDM) terms and conditions: https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0

After Postmodernism, Just A Bunch Of Strange Sounds 1

IRMA VIT DANS UNE VALLÉE ENTOURÉE DE MONTAGNES. LES MONTAGNES SONT HABILLÉES D'ÉPAISSES FORÊTS. ELLE HABITE DANS UNE MAISON DE BOIS AVEC SON GRAND-PÈRE NONNO. IRMA AIME LES SONS, TOUS LES SONS. DÈS QU'ELLE LE PEUT, ELLE PART SE PROMENER POUR ÉCOUTER ET EN ENREGISTRER DE NOUVEAUX. AVEC LES SONS D'IRMA, NONNO FABRIQUE DES PETITS AUTOMATES, LES AUTOMASSONS, JUSQU'À L'ARRIVÉE DE MONSIEUR INDUSTRIOR...

Une fable écologique et politique pour les petites oreilles dans laquelle Irma se trouve confrontée à la disparition totale de son écosystème sonore. Le bruit blanc que produisent les machines recouvre tout. La résistance s’organise…

Une proposition poétique de Benoit Bories, interprétée par Élodie Vincent, qui permet d'appréhender différents fondamentaux du sonore : l'écologie sonore, la phonographie sensible, le paysage sonore ou encore la musique acousmatique.

ZHU, Yiqing: L'Oeil Brisé - for tenor sax, perc, and elec (2017)

MELOS is a reminiscence of the archaic roots of sound art - produced with analog modular systems. 
The individual recordings with a length of up to eleven minutes are shortened excerpts from potentially unlimited variations of sound and silence, driven by a generative modular concept.

Cover design by Thomas Breuer, 2020.
