about

Seven more gebrauchspataphysik book reviews. Some experiments in ambient style using non-ambient musical form: passacaille, ground-bass, chorale, oratorio and aria da capo.

Once again sound collage orchestrations per Cage (1937)
"Wherever we are, what we hear is mostly noise. When we ignore it, it disturbs us. When we listen to it, we find it fascinating. The sound of a truck at 50 m.p.h. Static between the stations. Rain. We want to capture and control these sounds, to use them, not as sound effects, but as musical instruments."

The album is binaural for 65 crosstalk speakers. I can make you a headphones version if you need one. Please ask.

Once again with the truth ex machina - when preparing the album on Bandcamp, the page title read "Editing The Archaeology of Knowledge", which might please a certain French philosopher.

about

Ivodne Galatea Nedlands, Australia

Principally playing original compositions of an ambient nature on the Hohner Guitaret as well as other thumb pianos/finger harps/lamellophones.
Interested in orchestration using field recordings, per the great John Cage's suggestions (1937).
The pieces are all pataphysical book reviews. They consist of musical essays on books of the same title that haven't been written, but should have.
