... just what the title implies; recordings of mexican jumping beans made by paul panhuysen using piezo transducers to document the tiny pops & clicks made by moth larva (genus: cydia) inside small brown beans (genus: sebastiana) ...

apollo records press release...

"before leaving mexico city i bought 200 jumping beans and immediately after our return to eindhoven i started to experiment with them. in the past i've worked often with animals, with birds, crickets and goats. i also use sensors, timers, solenoids, motors, galvano-meters, solar cells and oscillators to produce sounds. in my music i introduce both creatures and gadgets as independent and sometimes unpredictable musicians and fellow employees. i like to be surprised by the results of my productions, by the animals' behavior. the input of such rather autonomous elements helps to reveal the qualities of universal laws and conditions that define order, structure, chance and expression in a living and changing world. it is curiosity which makes my work come into being.

jumping beans are magical living creatures. i worked with them for a couple of weeks, tried out various recording modes and different effects. the final selection on this cd is rather straightforward. there are four different pieces. for each recording i put 16 jumping beans in 8 containers. clothes-pins glued on piezo discs were used as contact mikes on each of the containers, which were placed on a sheet of soft foam plastic. the beans were activated by a halogen lamp over the table." - paul panhuysen.

paul panhuysen - ‘a magic square of 5 to look at' and 'a magic square of 5 to listen to’
plinkity plonk plonk 015

this work is a composition in two parts. the same magic square is transposed in two versions. one can be experienced by the eyes, the other one by the ears. a magic square is a series of numbers arranged in a square grid so that the sum of each horizontal and vertical row and of the corner diagonals is always the same. magic squares reveal harmony of number and refer to the nature of existence and a cosmic order dominated by mathematical regularity. number is the origin of all things, pythagoras said, and boethius said music is numbers made audible.

presented as a room installation, 'a magic square of 5 to look at' is a floorpiece of 5 x 5 m, and 'a magic square of 5 to listen to' can be heard through a quadraphonic sound system performing the four staffs of the score independently, starting about 5 seconds after each other. the audience moves around the floorpiece in the space.

this work was designed for and premiered as a site-specific sound installation at the puddles festival 2003 at jusshi square in tokyo from september 13-24 in 2003.

the sounds were chosen in cooperation with leon van noorden, who realized the recording on a computer using the programme csound. the master cd-r was made with technical assistence of rené adriaans.

panhuysen (1934) is an internationally recognised artist. best known for his site- specific long string installations all over the world, he also is involved in systematic visual art. calculus links his visual and sound art together. furthermore he has been the artistic director of het apollohuis for about 2 decades. at the festival he will present a new installation entitled "a magic square to look at and a magic square to listen to"; both are produced from the numbers of the same magic square of 5. "number is the origin of all things", pythagoras said. and boethius said "music is number made audible".

paul panhuysen is also a member of the macunias ensemble. his works were released by het apollohuis, table of the elements and experimental intermedia.

table of the elements press release...

paul panhuysen (b. 1934) is internationally known for his large-scale sound installations, built as gigantic stringed instruments. in 1963 he started to develop works which combined many media -- images, light, projection, machines, objects, spaces, etc. -- as transitory events and installations. the maciunas ensemble, founded in 1968, became the source of his experiences with sound and music, while his recent long string constructions create a synthesis of various disciplines including sculpture, architecture, music, improvisation, composition and performance.

in the galvanos, panhuysen has drawn material from a wide variety of sound projects he has created over the past two decades and channeled them through numerically tuned, resonating wires. the original recordings (including previous compositions, as well as canary songs and a speech by joseph stalin) are transformed by mechanical vibrations into completely new musical pieces. the resulting re-presentation of sound offers a unique and important look at the complex interrelation of mimesis and number in music.

...

“panhuysen has drawn materials from a wide variety of sound projects he has created over the past two decades and channeled them through numerically-tuned pairs of resonating wires. for this album the installation comprises five walkman cassette players with nine galvanometers plugged in. the steel strings, all 2 meters long, have been attached to the middle of duochords that each have a different length. their lengths (and therefore their pitch relationships) have been determined through calculations based on the number 3, resulting in two pentatonic rows: one starting from 81cm upwards, the other from 81cm downwards"

performed by paul panhuysen (piano, prepared soundscapes) and the maciunas ensemble. recorded at het appollohuis in 1997. program notes by paul demarinis.
