Soundtrack to “Wavelength”, a performance for dance, light, and sound. Stereo mix — originally a multichannel environment. With Asha Tamirisa and Jessie LaFargue.
I was trying to be a very serious electronic musician and make something only with simple oscillators and make it fly around the speakers. But all the voices are named after forest creatures.
The Rhythmanalysis Lab is concerned with the observation, representation, and interpretation of rhythms in everyday life. Inspired by the work of Henri Lefebvre, it is a framework for projects, workshops, and investigations at the intersection of urban research, sound, and data science.
Will the (future) rhythmanalyst ... set up and direct a lab where one compares documents: graphs, frequencies and various curves? ... Just as he borrows and receives from his whole body and all his senses, so he receives data from all the sciences: psychology, sociology, ethnology, biology; and even physics and mathematics ... He will come to 'listen' to a house, a street, a town, as an audience listens to a symphony.
