"Music For Modular Synthesizers" is a collection of generative performances by sound artist Tony James Morton from the UK. The work explores probably with human control. Constructed over a period of six months, each piece was created in a single sitting and deconstruction afterwards. Due to this, and the probabilistic nature, these works will never be recreated.

Tracklist:

1. Swell / 2. Points / 3. Windows / 4. Bloom / 5. Folds

Tony James Morton is a musician, composer and sound artist whose work focuses on real-time systems aesthetics. These systems created have rules and structures, but within the confines of these boundaries there is enough room for improvisation, chance and probability. This allows for a different interpretation each time, creating unique experiences of sound.

​​”As an artist I am fascinated in how we interface and improvise with sound. It’s in this case that I enjoy creating my own unique interfaces (or instruments) using both hardware and software. My work focuses on creating, what I like to call, audio/visual systems. These systems have rules, but within those created boundaries is enough room for users to improvise and move around the program how they feel. I like the idea of a piece of work never being interpreted the exact same way twice and these systems allow me this freedom to do so.”

His work has been displayed and performed at; OXO Tower Bargehouse (London, UK), IKLECTIK (London, UK), BEAST FEaST (Birmingham, UK) and Studio 47 (Amsterdam, Netherlands). He is a featured composer on the Steam Greenlight computer game “Exception,” and is credited for soundtrack mixing in the independent short film “The King,” by Frederic Casella.

Mario Cianca is based in Rome. He choosed double bass as way of expression.The love for improvisation lead him to discover many artists of contemporary music, ambient, sound art and many more. People like Toshimaru Nakamura, Brian Eno, Berio, Stockhausen deeply influenced his concept of sound and his ideas about written music, especially about musical notation which contemplates unsatisfactory for the wide emotional expression. Nature is the mother of all music.

"Murano" is a series of islands linked by bridges in the Venetian Lagoon. Mario recorded hours and hours just staying in front of different kind of things, charmed by the sound of the furnaces of the glassmakers or just meditating near the Stravinskij's tomb in San Michele. Mixing renaissance lute and doublebass with different kind of sounds, using Nakamura's "no input mixing board", field recordings and synth improvisation he has tried to embed the essence of Murano, emphasizing natural sounds, noises in the backgrounds often ignored by the contemporary man.

Tracklist:

1. Intro

2. Registrazione sulla tomba di Stravinskij

3. Laguna

4. Murano

5. Registrazione a San Marco

6. Notte a Venezia

7. Outro

Mario Cianca - Doublebass, Synth Korg MS20, Audio efx, No-Input Mixer

Our 26th release is from Vincent Raude from Rennes/France. On "Forest Prism" he is trying to hire a dialog between nature and technology to create imaginary landscapes avoiding human presence (sound pollution of cars, planes, cities, etc…). Vincent used three different field recordings he did in the same location (a small forest near Brest, Brittany, France, July 2020) at three different places and three different hours of the same day.

So the purpose is to use these (unedited) field recordings as scores for electronic soundscapes composition in reaction to the particular space and sounds that each location recorded generates. Field recordings are the main conductors, giving frames for tones and timbres, allowing Vincent to create an electronic resonance to the sound of nature.

All tracks were played live in the studio, August 2020.

V. Raude: Field Recordings, Analog Modular Synth, Electronics.

Mixed and Mastered by V. Raude - August 2020.

Born in 1979, French artist Vincent Raude is exploring electronics since he is 11. He studied contemporary electronic music using many tools from « old school » analog studio to some all digital production environements. His works are always questioning the relationship between the musician and the machine for composition, improvisation and live performances.

For more than ten years now, he has been playing with many musicians all around the world in many different genres and situations including improvisation, jazz, dub, techno, hip hop, reggae, rock, world music, ambient, etc... He also composed and played a lot of music for theater and contemporary dance.

The Lofield sound has been known to embody soothing, peaceful soundscapes intended to produce a calming and experimentally interesting listening experience. With "Impressions", Lofield takes a turn down a seemingly more indignant path; sonically exploring the emotional aspects of tension and contention, released with subtle occurrences of elation, bringing balance where none may have previously existed.

Tracklist:

01. Drifting / 02. Airtight / 03. Visions Of Cydonia / 04. Social Constructs / 05. Qualia / 06. Formless / 07. Delta Waves / 08. Gnostisism / 09. Aurora / 10. Dilapidated Beauty / 11. 1992 / 12. A Lasting Impression

About Lofield (New Jersey/US):

The sound of Lofield is made manifest through a union of organic soundscapes, controlled randomness, and subtle harmonies interpolating silence and static; emerging one in a field of auditory contemplation.
