sunday's impressions...
.
.
.
.
...:::...i watched a cloud fall apart over the ocean. a cumulous raked into a wisp...found that descriptive moment where one thing became another. it was in light and shadow...

i wondered whether i would have better luck finding a whole sand dollar if i sat down and waited for one to come to me, or if i kept walking down the beach, lazily combing...

i noticed somewhere between sleep and a closed-eyed wakefulness that there was no "in" and "out" sound of the waves cresting, breaking, pushing and pulling...only a constant rushing sound, or maybe it was just a jet plane overhead...?

i confirmed, once again, how euphoric i feel when eating this combination: warm figs, soft cheese and toasted walnut bread alongside a glass of a 10-year tawny port...:::...

and falling back onto old images...haven't been drawing as much lately. that will change. today's selections in a zip file (sorry folks, for those of you wanting individual tracks, this is most time-effective for now) 060731-modyfier listed below. these are special.

the mechanical sound…
.
.
.
.
...:::...i had the good fortune a handful of years ago to drop out of grad school at cca (and most importantly (but sadly formerly) “c” for “craft”) where i was pursuing a masters degree in design and instead go work for my professor, martin venezsky of appetite engineers. although i was with him for less than a year before deciding to veer back onto a course of landscape architecture, his influence on my thinking in congruence with a methodology was tectonic. it was like finding a breath twenty feet under water.

so often, thinking grinds production to a halt. this can happen for varying reasons. one being that by the time an idea actually gets built or made (especially in architecture) the idea is already old…no longer on the cutting edge of theory. as process draws out, ideas move on. another reason can be from a simple paralyzation. where thinking imprisons production.

martin is a man of mechanics. not in the way that things actually work, but more in the way that things fall apart. from his philosophy statement: “..we find joy in clashing consequence...and there is something to be said for the intense, harmonic, ragged, mysterious, teetering messiness of all things that stop and start...” he taught me how to play again...how through setting up a few basic rules and giving elements (like a roll of tape or a paper clip or a broken spirograph) personalities, that they could begin to interact and have conversations. that they could be explored for their materiality alone and their “ness”-ness. that is, the tapeness or the paper clipness or the spirographness. discovering the things that make these objects what they are.

i like the idea that there are still sounds being made in analog that cannot be replicated digitally. that there is a physicality to them that almost fills the silence with a palpable weight. like it could sit on your lap for a moment...like a fat cat. purring.

and to hear what this might sound like, a dialogue between analog and digital interfaces…from tomas palermo: I began a series of file exchanges with a friend in LA (sir DSS) who uses only analog modular synths (the kind you have to plug and patch like an old telephone switchboard in order to change sounds). I sent him an ambient track, he modulated it in to a forceful hybrid electo thing, and then I redissected it again into something else using Live. Here's the results so far.

tomas palermo & sir dss - modular dub re-doubled

familiar strangers...
.
.
.

wander over to thinner and you will find a new release by ben businovski, titled simulacraic wonderland (all of which is available for free download). larry johnson writes about it:

An important counterpart to the musical focus of the album is the theme of an "Asian megalopolis" as alluded to in the title and images. According to Ben, the album tells a story - "something of a futuristic, cyber-punk, film-noir anime film." The tracks were written prior to his move to South Korea (where he presently resides) while at student at the University in Australia. Time spent watching Hong Kong action movies and Japanese animation inspired the quixotic idea of an Asian megalopolis. These tracks were composed while lost in a "Simulacraic Wonderland", and there's a bit of naive romanticism evident here induced by watching these movies and animations as their images created a vague, idealized semblance of living the Asian experience...

...In retrospect, after having moved to Korea and visiting Japan several times, it became clear that the simulacra of the images on the television screen bore little resemblance to reality and to quote Ben: "Familiarization demystifies everything, it sobers you up and in a sad way destroys the deluded romantic concepts one can develop. Listening to it brings me back a few years to when things were not so familiar, not quite so old."

how many faces can you count at the bus or the train stop in the morning on the way in to work that you recognize? the people that share the same routine as you, the same agenda, the same timing…but that you never say hello to. these are the familiar strangers. they give context, ground meaning, orient you through their presence. ben’s music is a little like that. deferring acquaintance, nodding to foucault, smoking a pipe...:::...

...:::...how much can be left out to still get the point across? as a matter of (de)construct: is it easier to make a thing simple first, with minimal addition, or is it easier to reduce it down from complexity, to a distillation, with erasure? comparatively...which has more flavor: fresh food or one cooked slowly, simmering...?

be square…
.
.
.
.
...:::...square productions still needs your help. they’ve just returned from their european tour, which ups their total hours of footage to over 200. (imagine!) many of you, i’m certain, know of this ambitiously comprehensive movie called speaking in code, that is being made that follows the people, ideas, businesses, lives…that is behind the music that we all love. this is a movie about process. so often we only hear the product. this movie gives us the opportunity to find a little more depth than just in the reception of these sounds. it gives the music context. you can read more about their adventures here and you can contribute here. do it.

in other thoughts: i’ve been designing a wall…and the ideas that keep rotating into the discussion are: 1) is a wall an edge or an environment? 2) what is the relationship of object and void, of line and mass? 3) how do you create an edge from a nothing…a wall-less wall? 4) how do you create space with a void…using the emptiness as a construct, as a form? 5) how do you blur the edge, the moment between the wall and the floor…how do you create ambiguity, dissolve the horizon.

and on dissolving horizons (and continuing the discussion on minimalism outside of music) who better to look to than james turrell? excerpt from a 1996 interview:

Esa Laaksonen: I would like to discuss your views on light which is the main issue within your work, and the sensitivities of the human body to light and colour, and also your thoughts about perception. I understand that you have spent a long time in solitude, in prison and in darkness - therefore, it seems to me that the power of force in your work lies within the experiences that you had in asylum. Is that correct?

James Turrell: It was certainly formative in a sense that these experiences formed the will to work with light. In terms of being an artist I can't say that I took that experience well, because it was forced upon me - nor did I systematically explore what it is to have that aloneness, that solitary quality, without being forced into it. Now, with will and with free choice, I enjoy it.

The question about light. First of all, I would like to say that there never is no light - the same way you can go into an anechoic chamber that takes away all sound and you find that there never really is silence because you hear yourself. With light it is much the same - we have that contact to the light within, a contact that we often forget about until we have a lucid dream. Asking ourselves where the light in the lucid dream comes from gets us near to these thoughts about the power of light. This power has, first of all, power in its physical presence. I like to bring light to the place that is much like that in the dream - where you feel it to be some thing itself, not something with which you illuminate other things, but a celebration of the thingness of light, the material presence, the revelation of light itself. This is something that allows light live more than the forming of it. A lot of the learning to work with light, since it doesn't form by working with the hands as clay does, is this working with light through thought. There is an architecture of thought, the structuring of logic, of thinking, of the space of thought, and that is the province of architecture as much as building these buildings that we work in and use in a very pragmatic sense. Music structures this aswell, as do certain things in art.

At this moment, I'm working very primitively with light, because I don't have many instruments with which to work it, but I work it in the way that I can, and that is mainly to bring to the conscious awake-state, the light that inhabits these spaces that we know in the dream. So it's not a surprise for anyone to see the light like this, but it is a mild surprise to see it here because it seems to have this other quality, slightly other-worldly in that we know it from another place but we do know about it. In architecture we discuss the space between form and it being positive and being filled. But rarely do we create this space. It's more rhetorical. So that when you see it, it is not a surprise.

minimal is more than music…
.
.
.
.
...:::...perhaps it could be interesting to focus on the idea of minimalism outside of music for a change. it’s always interesting to see how other types of thinkers approach the same subject…looking at the idea from different disciplines, collapsing perspective so that the thing that is left over is familiar, but vague in form...an excerpt from “fail better! samuel beckett’s secrets of business and branding success” by stephen brown published in this month's harpers:

...2. Whereas tenacity may have been Samuel Beckett’s principle personality trait, his aesthetic trademark was brevity. His works were short and his language was compressed to the point of collapse. Truly he was the minimalist’s minimalist.

Minimalism has its place, to be sure, but many might maintain that the marketplace isn’t it, that we live in a world where countless identical products compete and each has to shout ever more loudly in order to be heard. Sometimes, however, the most effective way of selling a product or service is by not selling…

...6. The crucial issue Beckett faced, the aesthetic dilemma that drove him to the depths of despair, involved in narrativity. Beckett was writing at the tail end of the modernism movement when every conceivable literary experiment had been tried. He abandoned established narrative conventions and replaced them with abstraction, evasion, austerity, enigma, abrogation and equivocation…”

...and geeta has an article she wrote for groove up on her blog about ryuchi sakamoto and the yellow magic orchestra that is worth a read. it looks at the development of his work outside the more encompassing spectrum of electronically constructed sound. an excerpt:

"There were only three members of the band, but the arrangements were sort of symphonic orchestral, of course with the disco beats," says Sakamoto. "I arranged the tracks. My background is in classical--Stravinsky, Bartok, all that. I studied in a conservatory. I knew harmony, counterpoint, how to write a sonata, a fugue, all of that. My nickname in YMO was 'Professor.'"

...and as the discussion on mp3’s and file sharing ping-pongs around…as technologies develop and laws stay static or accordingly are re-examined and respond, dj ripley has some interesting thoughts about it up on her blog.

on falling…
.
.
.
.
…:::…more on the space between, on the fully empty moments when one thing happens and the next begins. more on reason and why. more on social conscious in design. more on timing and reception…

after the bombing of the world trade center towers, when all everyone could talk about constructing, lebbeus woods was thinking about what falling meant. in 2004 he published, the storm and the fall that collected his thoughts and work that suddenly had more meaning in the context of world events. here is a blurb from the princeton architectural press which published the book:

By any measure, Lebbeus Woods is one of the most original architects working today. His body of theoretical work focuses on buildings of crisis, whether marred by major earthquakes, suffering the effects of economic embargo, or damaged by war. Since the destruction of the World Trade Center, his designs have taken on new meaning and significance. In The Storm and the Fall, Woods brings his visions to a new depth, moving them from feverishly rendered drawings to three-dimensional space.

The book focuses on two recent Woods installations—one at the Houghton Gallery at New York's Cooper Union, the other at the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, Paris that address the role of today's architecture. The Storm critiques the geometric box that rules most building designs and proposes instead a dynamic field of potential energy, represented by a complex array of vectors. The Fall crystallizes a built space in the midst of collapse, witnessing a moment too brief to inhabit—except in imagination. Both pieces are explored in Woods's powerful sketches, renderings, models, and constructions, exposing the mutations that enable them to be. A postscript of his hopeful design for a new World Center relates even more of his ideas.

Lebbeus Wood is author of many books including Radical Reconstruction. He lives in New York City.

and what does that mean for sound? is there a moment where the transition (from one note or beat to the next) that is so often lost in brevity can be captured? and if so, what does that empty breath sound like? how much movement does silence, static, stillness create in anticipation alone?

sound as an effect vs. a necessity, is a difficult distinction to make. we expect most of our actions to result in reactions that are not only visual but aural. without sound, one is distanced in reality from the reaction, making it more abstract. once a sound is made, however, your body receives confirmation that the event is not imagined, but real. - john maeda

interrupting systems...
.
.
.
.
...:::...listening allows a passivity, but hearing takes concentration...it is an activity. so often silence is associated with a nothing: death, absence, a pause, waiting...but if you hear what is really happening in that void, you can feel the synaptic tension between one moment and the next. it charges. it is electricity snapping. inside the moments that we so often fill in with an elapse, with a forgetfulness, with a picnoleptic caulking, there is spaciousness...it's like trapping a shadow. letting it cast its morning slant at five o'clock in the afternoon...it allows you to really observe, really experience without one-thousand distractions.

just being slow and thinking....

i've been insulating myself in that space inbetween, connecting one verb to the next...:::...

...:::...could sound be arranged from writing in the air with a conductive motion?

“…silence, like light or love, requires a medium to give it meaning, takes on the color of it’s host, adapts easily to our fears and needs. quite apart from whether we seek or shun it, silence orchestrates the music of our days.” – mark slouka from listening for silence: notes on the aural life

...:::...and today and yesterday, that meaning for me comes with swollen ears after a long night out. it had been so long! i've been finding ways to enjoy going out where it is a welcomed interruption to an evolving routine, rather than a lifestyle...you know what i mean?

but how i love to dance! (wheels and rails in their prime collide, make love in a glide of slickness and friction. it is an elation i wish to prolong. the station is reached to soon. - may swenson)

it's how i find that medium to give silence meaning. it lights me up...a prismatic array. i explode in color. it's in knowing a daily quiet and concentration that lets me float into abandon on the dance floor...my head following my body for a change.
