taylor deupree “1am” compact disc

1am (21:21)

12k press release...

in the summertime, in the woods of new york state, the midnight insects can be at once serene and deafeningly loud. a field recording of this din of nighttime creatures was the inspiration and base for 1am.

dense, and often aggressive, 1am is a powerful work that fuses many layers of both noise and melodic tracks over the field recording. the result, best played at high volumes, is like a high-volume equivalent of standing on the rocks outside of deupree's home late in the summer night.

despite 1am's opaque and rich sound it is not unlike the 23-minute epic "stil." from deupree's stil. cd (12k1020). it is unwavering and highly repetitious but with enormous amounts of textural and timbral shifting.

1am is a very experimental and reactionary piece for deupree, created in a week's time, and emotionally charged.

it is limited to only 500 copies.

12k press release...

taylor deupree & kenneth kirschner’s post_piano 2 continues the two new york composers’ collaborative investigation into the intersections of digital minimalism and experimental piano composition. working with his childhood acoustic piano and the accidental sounds of an imperfect recording environment, kirschner first composed a simple, austere “piano sketch” to serve as raw material for the project. this sketch was then passed on to deupree, who created three new compositions entirely out of sounds derived from kirschner’s piece. the two then collaborated on editing the new recordings, which transform the original piano sketch into a diverse array of sounds both familiar and unexpected. like their previous cd, post_piano 2 is released as an open source project, and the composers invite other artists to continue the interpretation and transformation of their work in an ongoing process of open collaboration.

kenneth kirschner on post_piano 2:
“taylor and i wrote post_piano in 2002, and since then i had added to my studio an actual acoustic piano – in fact, the very piano on which i first started studying at the age of 5. it’s an old piano, with an old sound, and i knew i wanted to use it for post_piano 2. but my studio doesn’t exactly offer a pristine environment for recording acoustic instruments – not least because an elevated train runs by the window every few minutes.

my idea, therefore, was to emphasize the environmental sounds of the space, and create a piano piece that was as much a series of field recordings as an actual studio work. the result was “november 11, 2003” – a spare, fragmentary piano sketch recorded using techniques that ranged from the relatively high-tech to the very, very low-tech. this formed the source material for the entire project. and from that point on, the process was similar to our previous cd: the piano sketch was handed off to taylor, who chopped it up in the computer and built new compositions from the resulting fragments. i encouraged him to focus as much on the accidental sounds – the passing subway, the street noises, the creaking of the old piano’s mechanisms – as on the piano notes themselves.

taylor wrote three long pieces using three distinct approaches, and each transforms the piano sketch into something new while still evoking the character of the original. his tracks have a modern, state-of-the-art sound – yet they never let you forget that what you’re hearing was once a piano. we then collaborated on the editing of these pieces, which make up the first three tracks of the cd. the final track is “november 11, 2003” itself; the cd thus concludes at the project’s beginning, with a coda that reveals the origin of all the sounds that preceded it. and as with the first post_piano, we’re presenting this new cd as an open source project: it’s released under an open license, and we eagerly look forward to hearing how our friends and colleagues take these old sounds and find new uses for them.”

...

taylor deupree + christopher willits
listening garden
line_032

listening garden was developed as a sonic alteration of two quiet indoor/outdoor tea spaces installed at the yamaguchi center for arts and media in yamaguchi, japan in june of 2004. the audio installation was designed to heighten visitor's senses and alter the sonic space as they sat, read, or had quiet conversation amongst the trees. taylor deupree and christopher willits composed a number of short, randomly sequenced multi-channel soundworks using guitar and electronics. the fragments of sounds, while both gentle and subtly rich, are intentionally weathered, eroded and understated, generating a sonic bridge between the digital world of sound and the audiosphere of nature.

the audio on this cd is built from location recordings taken in the garden over the course of a week during the exhibit. the environmental and incidental sounds played a large part of the physical work and are captured and utilized in the recording. listening garden is meant to enhance the experience of simply sitting and enjoying one's place in time.

this cd is best heard in a similar situation and at a low background level. headphones are not recommended.

taylor deupree is a sound artist, graphic designer, and photographer residing in new york. he is the founder 12k, a record label that focuses on minimalism and contemporary musical forms.

his solo works in recent years have explored a fusion of digital sound manipulation with organic and melodic textures that take influences from his interest in architecture, interior design, and photography. themes of minimalism, stillness, atmosphere, nature, and imperfection prevade throughout his work . an intense passion for recording and studio technology creates a strong technological backdrop for all of his compositions.

since 1993 deupree has created critically acclaimed recordings for labels worldwide including spekk, plop, noble (japan), ritornell/mille plateaux, raster-noton, disko b (germany), sub rosa (belgium), fällt (ireland), audio.nl (netherlands), room40 (australia), instinct records, caipirinha music, plastic city (usa), dum (finland), and of course 12k and line, among others. in january 1999, deupree currated a compilation for new york's caipirinha music label that he titled "microscopic sound." this release was among the first to gather together artists of this style and helped put a name to a then-rising genre of electronic music.

christopher willits is a musician and multimedia artist located in san francisco, california. striking a delicate balance between acoustic and electronic sounds and systems, christopher manages to defy genre distinctions while still defining a "sound" unto his own. his numerous solo releases and collaborations cover a broad spectrum of musical styles, and include one main commonality: willits' unique use of the guitar with custom-made signal processing. this home-brewed software, along with willits' 6-string prowess, generates a unique real-time mixture of improvised melody and rhythm. willits' guitar lines and harmonies fold into each other. notes and phrases hook and weave, creating complex patterns of interlocking rhythm, melody, and texture.

willits' has a vast range of collaborations he is involved in, which include bands, sound installations, and film/video projects. flossin, a band project organized and produced by willits, is currently working on a new release that will feature the original lineup of zach hill (drummer from the band hella), miguel depedro (kid606) and willits, plus matmos and a familiar remixing cast of indie-electronic/rock artists. christopher willits and brad laner (formerly of medicine) recently released a new album as the north valley subconscious orchestra on ghostly international in late august 2006. taylor deupree (12k label-head) and willits have released two full-length studio albums and a recent live cd. other collaborators include latrice barnett (galactic, kaskade, handsome boy modeling school), paul d’amour (tool, lusk), ryuichi sakamoto (ymo), and video artist scott pagano.

camera lucida
line_030 dvd

line is proud to announce the release of its first dvd, camera lucida. the project by russian/american installation and video artists, evelina domnitch and dmitry gelfand and developed in collaboration with scientific laboratories in japan, germany, russia and belgium.

camera lucida (chamber of light or lucidity) is a 3-dimensional sonic observatory that directly transforms sound into light by employing a phenomenon known as sonoluminescence: ultrasound, propagating within a liquid, triggers the formation and implosion of micro-bubbles that reach temperatures as high as are found on the sun, and emit light in the shape of sound waves. the authors of the installation, evelina domnitch and dmitry gelfand, joined forces with multiple sound artists to create the sonochemical compositions presented on this dvd.

this dvd also contains a data partition with uncompressed high resolution audio files of all the works.

evelina domnitch and dmitry gelfand create sensory immersion environments that merge physics, chemistry and computer science with uncanny philosophical practices. having dismissed all forms of fixative and recording media, domnitch and gelfand's installations exist as ever-transforming phenomena offered for observation. because these rarely seen manifestations take place directly in front of the observer without being distorted and flattened onto a screen, they often serve to vastly extend the observer's sensory envelope.

their works have been exhibited worldwide, including shows at v2 institute for unstable media (rotterdam, netherlands), nijo castle (kyoto, japan), museum of dreams (st. petersburg, russia), i-20 gallery (new york, usa), die schachtel (milan, italy) and tesla (berlin, germany).

"camera lucida is a highly introspective immersive spatial art work creating a fleeting ephemeral materiality by intersecting ultrasound with hyperlight... in essence the creation of a sonic aurora. domnitch and gelfand's piece rejects any possibility to be fixed in space and time, but rather offers up the very definition of an unstable work of art, existing entirely for and within the perceptive realm of the viewer." - stephen kovats, director of transmediale 2008

due to the detailed and subtle visual nature of this work and phenomenon the artists have chosen to use pal over ntsc encoding to maintain the maximum resolution possible for the movie and sound files. this dvd is region free and can be played on any computer dvd drive. no region switching is necessary for television screen viewing, it can only playback on a pal or multi-system dvd player. playback in a darkened space with monitor brightness turned up is encouraged.

gorgeous collection of contemporary concrète/acoustmatic music in its tonal incarnation; starting with the immaculate original piece by the swiss sound-artist ralph steinbrüchel, then following suit(e) with versions by the necks’ chris abrahams, ben frost, 12k’s taylor deupree, oren ambarchi, and finally toshiya tsunoda (whom, it appears, recorded the piece as played back in a room using a microphone inside of a glass bottle!)

room40 press release...

in spring 2003 steinbrüchel received an invitation from the swiss music festival 'taktlos' in berne to contribute a track for their listening room equipped with a surround 5.1 sound system. during the two-day festival in november 2003 steinbrüchel's track 'opaque' was played back in cycle mode (among tracks from various other artists).

the listening room focused on the experience of being able to listen to music in a very quiet and large environment - unlikely to most home listening situations. additionally the possibility of working in surround gave the musicians a chance to create very special audio sculptures in the space.

this disc collects 'opaque' and reinterpretations by oren ambarchi (aus), taylor deupree (us), frost (aus), toshiya tsunoda (jp) and chris abrahams (nz).

each of the contributing artists was chosen for his unique working method (oren for his work with guitar, taylor for processed sounds, frost guitar feedback, toshiya for fieldrecordings and chris for piano). to make the remixes more varied and special, each artist received only three samples/soundfiles from the original track, but none of the artists have received the same samples or even have heard the original track by steinbrüchel before the release of the cd.
