TL028. digital penetration - strata

This album was constructed with layers of textural audio samples with an emphasis on a sense of ambience and interest in sound collage. It is also part of an ongoing exploration of improvised elements in digital/electronic music, in this context by sampling improvised music.

The video loops for this album are aligned and layered alongside the audio samples, similarly interested in texture and collage. Much of the video was shot through a macro lens exploring textures and the sense of the ‘abstractness’ that comes with seeing everyday things in extreme closeup. Some video was shot on a camera phone, another way of incorporating aspects of the everyday or found objects. The video was in part inspired by the film time space motion by Shinkan Tamaki which seemed to embody something about texture and the everyday that I found deeply moving.

Thanks to: Oz Kesik, Dan O’Connor, Aviva Endean, Craig Pedersen, Elizabeth Millar, Shinkan Tamaki, Graham Mathwin, Tone List and the Perth improv community.

Made with Reaper.

This album was made on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin alliance and the lands of the Wadjuk people of the Noongar nation; much respect to these peoples, the traditional custodians of these lands, and their elders past and present.
