brandon labelle lives and works in la. a musician, performer, critic, sound artist, publisher, he stands at the cross-roads of various artistic disciplines, mixing his practices in a singular work articulating sound and social space. through his use of contact mikes, the human body turns into a complex sound source, and the space where the action takes place becomes a musical instrument by itself. brandon labelle builds his sound performance to reflect the site and the objects he finds there, found-art seen as a highly conceptual reasoning as well as a play in improvisation. the music of brandon labelle reveals the social context in which it exists, or more precisely, it's the context itself that is designated as a musical event, through the displacement of the concept of authorship on an active social space." techné " presents itself like the trace of a process where the physical body interacts with architecture via micro contacts. the technology is the interface of this contact built both on desire and the architectural constraint of the place (and its subconscious). a recording of situationist poetry where the politics project gives its shape to the musical project, a radical noise.

selektion (germany) #shs 008 cd

brandon labelle “shadow of a shadow” compact disc

the body is an instrument struck by its surroundings (3:12)
the skin is a surface marked by external stimuli (6:02)
the surrounding space is a medium agitated by random bodies (3:46)
buildings are bodies resonating with the conflictual flow of various elements (11:38)
the voice is a bouquet of echoic blossoms swallowing their own scent (4:03)
the hand motions with impulses instigated by multiple sources (7:15)
a doorway is a membrane wet with each passing (6:42)
the body is a diaphragm impressed into audibility (3:48)

"...sound is always undermining its own systemization, signifying more than a one to one relation. rather, a multiplicity of connotations appear with sound and are amplified within its wave: conversations are set in motion between the sounds i make and the sounds already occuring, between the cultural work and the real, between listening and responding. this conversation fluctuates in the slippery fold of meaning, in the agitated space of the real, making it uncertain where one sound orginates and the others fade out, where public space starts and private impulse ends, where music is heard and interference disrupts" brandon labelle.

compilation of variations on themes of preserving/capturing/processing “subliminal” environmental sound... we’re not talking about yr average acoustic ecology exercise here but more the hidden nature sounds in city-locations otherwise rife with the sounds of commerce, transportation, etc... the clarion call of watson’s opening piece (a bird squawks away in defiance as a boeing fades from the background to the fore in the right channel, takes off, then disappears in the left, seemingly having no affect on our fine feathered friend whatsoever...)

includes contributions from heavies chris watson and brandon labelle alongside excellent work from m.rösner, domenico sciajno, aaron ximm and others. a veritable phonographer’s delight...

room40 press release...

for most of us, our every waking moment (and even those where we are unconscious) is surrounded by sound. from the obnoxiously pitched alarm tone that raises us from slumber to the muted sounds of night-time traffic that merge with natural nocturnal transmissions; there is always sound.

as a society we have increasingly sought to augment and indeed control the environments around us. all manner of tools have been utilised in this ongoing war against the unfamiliar, the unexpected and the "undesirable". as well as a variety of visuals cues, sound is progressively used to colour our surroundings with a variety of aural hues.

the twentieth century brought with it an unparalleled use of artificial sound in the form of george squier's muzak - a creation designed to enhance (and perhaps determine) amongst other things our "urban/social/shopping" experience. for decades, no mall or place of substantial commerce was complete without the dulcet tones of muzak. to many it would seem that there is a world of difference between the bleating high frequency sounds of an indian marketplace and multiple channels of mid-tempo instrumental music filling our shopping malls; however the ability for sound to draw and focus our attention is universal and well documented.

but what of the remaining sounds? the incidental sounds that muzak tries (and often fails) to mask. it's within these sound fields that curators lawrence english + lloyd barrett sought to collect artists who were working with and celebrating these incidental aspects of our sound world.
