ELEVENELEVEN :: 13 MARK BROWN

Guest Programmer
Mark Brown (Sydney)
http://untitledbrown.zina.org

Mark Brown is a Sydney based sound, installation and photo media artist exploring the phenomenology of space, architecture and acoustic atmospherics. Brown’s practice has evolved into a poetic response to site, critiquing the history and function of architecture by documenting and making manifest unseen and unheard phenomena in space. 
This playlist maps a trajectory through strategies in the creation of sound composition and music derived from field recordings, sampling, artist made instruments and meta-generative techniques.

Minit’s samples of ‘absence’ recorded in the place where the Berlin wall used to be are layered into a subtle building wall of sound in Berlin Untitled. Wolfgang Voigt’s Pop 4 pulses through the black forest of reconstructed pop elasticity. Inside the white cube, a museum goods lift opening its doors to hear the ruminations of a disembodied forensic entity in Fontana Musee Incident. Einsturtzende Neubauten’s sound sculpture / instruments flail on the stage of Werner Schwab’s Faust. During the Acoustic Space Lab project in Irbene Latvia Zina Kaye & Mr Snow inhabit a decommissioned soviet satellite communications dish and distilled the unseen sonic particles it collects. Ian Andrew’s Dude Descending a Staircase traverses the static of radio waves and glitch frequencies in a Duchampian audio readymade. Echolocation is a recent collaboration with myself and Vincent and Vaughan O’Connor, the intention was to create a live sonic meteorology of field recordings and circuit bending.

Sound of Failure 2008
The Sound of Failure is sound art festival based in Sydney, begun in 2007, that explores notions of organised and indeterminate music/sound/noise as conceived and experienced in this, our post-digital era. It is both an inclusive and critical exploration of a broad spectrum of audio experience that includes everything from experimental cabaret, to granular synthesis-derived microsound. This year, the Sound of Failure is a multi-sited event centred around the main performance night at the Factory Theatre in Enmore, which will include some big names and some exciting emerging performers.

ELEVENELEVEN :: 10 CEDRIC PEYRONNET (FRANCE)

IMPROVISED RADIO PIECE
Cédric Peyronnet (Bellac/France)
www.ingeos.org

Title: kdi dctb 209 [a]

"A totally improvised radio piece dealing with the relationships I can draw between some of the works I’ve done these last 10 years. I revisit the archives 1998-2008. My work is always "site" based: a place is explored, recorded, played, then becomes a matter for the studio work; a piece is always about a place, and is always composed only with sound material gathered in - a really very important point to me. It is never a ‘phonography’ of the place but an interpretation of the place. " ~ Cédric Peyronnet

Cédric Peyronnet (aka toy.bizarre / ingeos) is a sound artist working since 1990 with phonography and soundscapes, using the principles of concrete, acousmatic, electroacoustic music. Peyronnet’s  practice of “sound mapping”, the exploration of places by sound recording, listening and sound sculpting, take form in compositions and sound pieces, concerts, sound screenings and sound installations.

Cédric Peyronnet is performing at Liquid Architecture 9, Australia’ s premier sound-arts festival throughout July 2008.

Liquid Architecture , Australia’s premier sound-arts festival, celebrates its ninth consecutive year with concerts, surround sound presentations, audio-visual and recorded work, exhibitions and installations. Featuring our most imaginative musicians, composers, sound designers and media artists in a sense-specific feast for the ears.

International highlights include Robert Normandeau (Canada) , world renowned electro acoustic composer, in Australia also for the Australian Computer Music Association conference; Cedric Peyronnet / toy.bizarre (France) whose works focus on phonography and field recordings, and who will spend time mapping on location prior to performing; Marcus Schmickler (Germany) who will present experimental and electronic compositions from his Altars of Science release 2007; and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Pekler (Germany) , well known for his atmospheric soundscapes.

ELEVENELEVEN :: 09 KAZUMICHI GRIME

Guest Programmer
Kazumichi Grime (Sydney)
www.kazumichi.com

Kazumichi Grime is a Sydney based sound and visual artist. Recently he has been incorporating video art into his live sets which have been performed at events such as The Big Day Out, eScapes, Disorientation, The MCA and Liquid Architecture. The focus of the video imagery is often of intense studies of simple concepts that work in collaboration with the sound to create a resolve. Dense textural drones are drawn from field recordings, analogue synthesis and acoustic recordings.

He has released numerous recordings since 1994 on cd, vinyl and online and has performed extensively. As well as his own solo practice, Grime has collaborated on a number of projects with artists such as Kim Cascone, Gary Bradbury, Anthony Guerra, Andy Polaine and has also developed a number of pieces as a sound artist for video artist Shaun Gladwell, including the 2007 Venice Biennial piece, ‘Storm Sequence’

About this playlist. The music I have chosen is music and sounds that I find engaging and beautiful. It also happens to be all of Australian artists whom I have followed for some time over the years and have found their music an inspiration (though I did sneak a new track of mine in as well as a remix I did). Having grown up on a diet of Severed Heads in the 80s, I naturally find Bradbury’s work wonderful, unexpected and humorous. I have always enjoyed releases by Ambarchi, Minut and lesser known artists like Daniel Whiting whose track here is a cdr he handed to me one night and is heard here in its entirety, quite an epic. Enjoy.

Kazumichi Grime will be performing at Liquid Architecture 9 Sydney
Festival of Sound Arts 11-12 July 2008.

ELEVENELEVEN :: 08 JEPH JERMAN (USA)

Guest Programmer
Jeph Jerman (USA)
www.jerman.littleenjoyer.com

Jeph Jerman is a musician, improviser and sound-maker from the US. Jerman first began recording and performing in 1986, under the name Hands To . Most of his early sound work was sampler and tape loop based. Over the course of ten years Jerman’s music evolved into environmental recordings, with very little to no manipulation or electronic processing. In 1996, Jerman embarked upon a weekly series of concerts in Seattle at Anomalous Records , which brought him into contact with the city’s improvised music community. During this time he began performing solo, using only natural found objects (stones, shells, bones, driftwood, pine cones, etc) as sound-makers, a practice which continues today. In 1999, the Animist Orchestra was founded, original members are Jeph Jerman, Eleanor Gallagher, Dave Knott, Mike Shannon, Jeffery Taylor and Robert Millis.

Most of Jerman’s previous work could be interpreted as being ‘idea-based’. He finds that most of his work nowadays is sound-based, and believes it is due to his growing interest in listening, in what happens when one listens, and his concomitant disinterest in contextualizing sound
