CURGENVEN, ROBERT - Beyond Enclosures

Format: 3 x CD Label & Cat.Number: Recorded Fields Editions RFE05 Release Year: 2021 Note: three impressive works on "AIR" by this highly interesting Irish (Australian born) sound artist, using for each CD different approaches and conceptual backgrounds: experimental turntable techniques with piano & pipe organ harmonics [BARDO]; resonant architectural interventions made w. custom-made oscillators [SPECTRES]; extended pipe organ with accompanying soundsystem [BRONZE LANDS] - 3 CDs inside poster cover, 300 copies Price (incl. 19% VAT): €27.50 More Info "The 3 albums that comprise this set all, at their heart, concern air and the attendant inter-permeability and fluidity of volumes. Be they discretionary or open volumes, architectural or spatiotemporal, each volume is subject to the specificities of: their resonance; the concomitant movements of volumes of air; their locational context and adjacent spaces. The 3 albums present different harmonic, gestural and durational possibilities to encourage us to step out of the perceptual frameworks that enclose us. Each album offers a unique instrumental foundation: experimental turntable techniques interwoven with piano & pipe organ harmonics (Bardo); resonant architectural interventions articulated by custom-made oscillators in post-Communist architectures and their locational context (SPECTRES); extended pipe organ techniques with an accompanying soundsystem that plumbs architectural harmonics and corporeal resonances (Bronze Lands). These works entreat us to think and hear beyond the structures enclosing each instrumental- and performance- approach - the turntable body, the architectural, the pipe organ, the speaker enclosure itself, even the confines of an audience as a gathering - and to also consider these longform works as an inter-related suite of aural and conceptual worlds." https://robertcurgenven.bandcamp.com https://www.recordedfields.net
