Smart Project Space presents an evening with sound performances
A monthly series in which the boundaries between music and art will be expl=
ored. Organized in collaboration with Stichting Mixer
Boca Raton is the ongoing musical project of Martijn Tellinga. Since 1999, =
it is moving along the edges of synthesized sound and the concrete, acousti=
c world of sound and it's recordings. The abstraction, or rather reflection=
of these concrete sources through electronic synthesis and manipulation, c=
reates an alias in sound which shares the associative and narrative charact=
er of the everyday soundtrack surrounding us. However, it is hardly to be r=
ecognised as such; it has a new appearance or identity if you like, but st=
ill lives on the same fundaments. By using elements of both worlds, it's mu=
sical form shows the integration and co-existence of natural -unstaged- sou=
nd and it's artificially created reflection.
More than relying on melody, harmony and rhythm, these sound-works are cons=
tructed from the fundamental building-blocks of music: texture, volume and =
time-elapse. A composition is made through arranging and re-arranging eleme=
nts, big and small, by using and selecting their characteristics. Once reco=
rded or captured, the nature of the sounds will hardly be changed; the mus=
ical context determines which elements are emphasized or scrambled and ther=
efore, make the music.
DUUL_DRV is S. Arden Hill, a minimalist sound maker and painter living in t=
he intersecting and isolated climate of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. As soun=
d maker his compositions attempt to fuse the aesthetics and method of his =
painting with the dynamics of sound. By layering sounds actualized in digit=
al software with edited field recordings, duul_drv creates visual compositi=
ons that have been paralleled to camping, scuba diving, long drives on hot=
days, and watching bubbles floating outside a window. The "dusty and crac=
ked" texture that's
found in these compositions can be attributed to the overwhelming sense of =
location that Winnipeg offers the artist. From an article written for The W=
ire's 'global ear: Winnipeg' - issue 218, Hill offers, Winnipeg feels old a=
nd run down, more like a prairie town than a prosperous city. The town giv=
es him the impression that we are living through old photographs found in f=
lea markets, and objects of nostalgia. This aesthetic can be heard in the q=
uiet stretched sounds, the dull hiss of the crackling white noise, and the =
fragments of constructed beats.Location: Smart Cinema
