marc behrens architectural commentaries 4&5 cd (e45)

“an architectural commentary is a form of ‘reviewing’ architecture in which functional, symbolic and aesthetic aspects of a building or a bigger architectural structure are analysed. inspiration for this cycle of compositions is drawn from architectural criticism, structures, buildings, involuntary cityscapes (‘architecture without architects’) and technological noise within buildings.

one special recording session took place at resonance fm, the london- based radio station, in june 2004. patrick mcginley of resonance fm and i recorded the studio equipment itself, the drive noises, ventilation, vibrations in the machines, the studio’s air conditioning, doors… this particular array of sound forms the sole and exclusive basic material for architectural commentary 5: some models for resonant behaviour and links the cycle to earlier music pieces i constructed with sounds from computer labs. this part was commissioned by resonance fm. in architectural commentaries i composed some structures (mainly in parts 4 and 5) loosely based on luigi nono’s idea of ‘isole musicali’. this means that encyclopaedic variations of themes are generated and often highlighted by silent breaks, like islands, between the individual parts, all different in form and size, but topologically similar.”

frankfurt-based behrens is presently best described as a ‘sound artist’, working across performance, installation and audio-visual recorded media. he also creates photographic works, designs record sleeves, and has even produced a bottle of white wine...

murmer
we share a shadow
cd

release date: december 2007

murmer is the pseudonym for patrick mcginley, a man with several passports which have taken him to many a foreign land in search of found sounds of the unsettled, the forgotten, the mysterious, and the beautiful. his field recordings of activated environments (e.g. resonant industrial spaces, windswept telephone lines, bowed branches, gasping ventilator systems, etc.) originate from all of the locations where he has traveled; yet, the documentation of these sounds is the not the terminus of mcginley's work. he is far more interested in extracting a particular emotional, transcendent, or metaphysical kernel from those sounds, and then recontextualizing that germinated sound into sympathetic compositions of magnificent dronemusik.

we share a shadow continues where murmer left off with the exceptional husk album (in collaboration with jonathan coleclough), in spiraling his manipulated field recordings as a slow revelation of the environmental sonorities that undeservedly go unnoticed each and every day. singing frequencies of a bowed piece of metal undulate against a grey tapestry of rain and rasping insects. golden overtones from shimmering drones quell what agitated textures reside in mcginley's active field recordings, rendering the aggregate sound a nocturnal opiate with considerable potency.

as murmer, patrick mcginley has produced a handful of releases on icr, ground fault, drone records, and absurd; and he has performed in venues both large and small across north america and europe. he is also the host the framework radio show on resonance fm, dedicated to the consecration of field recordings and their use in composition.

we share a shadow is strictly limited to 300 copies, featuring hand water-coloured artwork and letterpress printing.
