Sündhaft teure, von Duncan selbst herausgegebene Edition mit Farb-Booklet & einer Aufnahme einer Installation aus Gothenburg, wo von zwei 24 Meter hohen Stahltürmen beschallt wurde...
zu hören sind flüsternde Stimmen, overtunige Rauschdrones, sowas wie Wassergeräusche....
“ Audio from the KEENING TOWERS installation located on the terrace of the Gothenburg City Art Museum; Gothenburg, Sweden.
Included in AGAINST ALL EVENS: 2nd Gothenburg Biennial 2003, curated by C.M. von Hausswolff and Cecilia Bergstrom-Fälth.
Created and composed by John Duncan
Processed, mixed and mastered at Scrutto by John Duncan
Voice sources provided by the San Pietro Elementary School Choir, conducted by John Duncan
Soloist: Timotei Toniutti
Description of the KEENING TOWERS installation:
Sound projected from two separate audio systems mounted at the tops of galvanized steel towers, each 24 meters high, set up in front of the entrance to the Gothenburg city art museum. Each system is playing back parts of a piece composed for the installation using recordings from a 30-voice Italian children's choir as audio sources. The 4-channel sound is reflected off the museum's façade and the arched corridor immediately behind it, to create a multi-dimensional audio 'cloud' of modified voices that cluck their tongues, whisper, scream and howl to listeners standing on the terrace around and between the tower bases. The separate parts run 24 hours a day for 90 consecutive days, to constantly create new mixes without ever repeating.” [press release]
