<b>Sneak preview of the COMPOSING WITH PROCESS 2.2 Exclusives by Marcus Schmicker and EVOL:</b> <a href="http://bit.ly/gG9eU4" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/gG9eU4</a><br><br>Soon available online.<br><b><br>02:00 Marcus Schmickler 'RR 0' (Revolving Realities #0), 2010 (23:43) </b><br>
<br>'RR 00' is an excerpt from a collaborative auto-reactive light and
sound installation that was premiered on 19th January 2010 in Cologne.
The sound component is the sonification of astrophysical data and the
simulation of dynamic systems. <br>
<br>The installation consisted of computer controlled
electro-luminescent wires, quasi-spherical light projections and 10.2
channel audio. The light installation, its custom controllers and the
light projections were created by Cologne-based group Interpalazzo.
Schmickler created various musical parts especially for this
collaborative work. 'RR 0' is the process running at sunset before dark,
after which the light installation becomes visible. <br>
<br>The piece was originally conceived for 'The Bonn Patternization' -
which explores the sonification of astrophysical data. The basis of 'The
Bonn Patternization' consists of readings for different stars, star
clusters and galaxies, as well as their properties such as light,
distance and coordinates. In addition, sounds are generated from systems
that arithmetically simulate astronomically relevant phenomena such as
the interaction between celestial bodies due to gravitation. <br>
<br>The process underlying 'RR 0' simulates the behavior of objects or
clusters of objects in a gravity field. It is based on a visual
embodiment primarily implemented in Supercollider by Fredrik Olofsson
and reworked into a Subtractive Synthesis application with the help of
Alberto de Campo. <br>
<b><br>25:41 EVOL 'Untitled Anthem Study', 2010 (12:37) </b><br><br>After reading Benoît Mandelbrot's 1982 <i>The Fractal Geometry of Nature</i>
in 1998, Roc Jiménez de Cisneros became fascinated with self-similarity
and iterated function systems and their possible application to musical
structures.This piece, which was finished a few days after Mandelbrot's
death in the fall of 2010, uses several synthesis models originally
written for <i>Rave Slime</i> (ALKU, 2010) in combination with a recursive algorithm that was used in the composition <i>Fart Synthesis</i> (Presto!?, 2009). <br>
<br>The piece is one of many studies realised in the research process
started in late 2008 to combine rave-inspired sounds with generative
algorithms to explore particle physics concepts such as configuration
spaces, parameter permutations and phase spaces.<br><br>Follow us on Twitter: @Radio_Web_MACBA
