Label: Flaming Pines

極上の物音アンビエンス!!レーベルFlaming Pinesを主宰し多くの音楽家の作品をリリース、並行してロンドンより自身の音活動を発信する女性サウンドアーティストKate Carr。偶然性、反復、テクスチャーに興味を持ち、身の回りの物体や打楽器、カセットレコーダーを用いサウンド・コラージュを制作する、同じロンドン拠点の作家Matt Atkinsとのデュオ音源[Organelles]。振動する小さな物体が生み出す反復や集積、弾けるようなリズム、きしみ音、擦れる音、打撃音、チャイムの響きの集積が仄暗く美しい、あくまで即興演奏というプロセスを主軸に置いた作品。







What goes on inside a cell? What might it sound like?
Inspired by tiny processes and interactions Organelles presents a sonic imaginary of intracellular operations.

Cells are busy: folding proteins, exchanging gases, creating energy, growing, dividing, mutating and communicating. Likened to minute factories or warehouses, organelles are the entities which perform the specialised tasks which enable cellular life.

So often explored visually, this album offers one version of what the aural life of these tiny, fantastically-shaped organelles might sound like.
Their ongoing and sporadic processes, small rhythms and exchanges and the everyday and cataclysmic events and encounters that might unfold on this smallest of scales.

With both Atkins and Carr's practices rooted in the amplification and looping of small objects, instruments and gestures, the pair came to the idea of Organelles via the process of improvisation itself.
In the encounter between Atkins' and Carr's iterations and conglomerations of small vibrating objects, Organelles emerged as a collection of spluttering rhythms, creaks, rustles, strikes and chimes.

A miniature world of speculative microsound which lurches between spiky textures, wonky rhythms, static, and the occasional off kilter melody.
