An installation piece written for the Music & Machines VIII symposium at Newcastle's Culture Lab, as part of the AV Festival 2008.
This year the symposium shared the AV Festival’s theme of Broadcast, featuring a variety of lectures, presentations and interventions by various key writers, artists and musicians. In between the scheduled presentations, artists from Newcastle University presented a series of installations and performance pieces taking inspiration from Jeffrey Sconce’s notion of Haunted Media, using sample material sourced from Antonin Artaud’s Pour en finir avec le jugement de Dieu, a recording originally commissioned by Radio France sixty years ago for a broadcast that never was (unsurprising, given the blasphemous and and somewhat scatological subject matter).
My resulting contribution was a 4.1 9-minute piece called Reception (here mixed down to stereo). Never done a surround piece before, so it was great to hear it cranked up in surround sound on a studio-quality soundsystem with massive sub-bass.
The stereo mix might translate rather poorly to a home-setup, but it still sounds quite effective in headphones. | |

reminiscent of tim hecker at first, definintely delves into darker territory. this is great! i'd love to know about the samples you used. sounds like some internet radio and other things. what was that sound that was half-way between whale-song and pink noise?

Cheers Flies! All the source sample material was from a recording of Artaud, then convolved with a bunch of various other samples and recordings of me. I can't honestly remember what the pink noise whale thing was, to be honest. I played around with some compressor sidechains though, to make the quasi-radio sounds more dynamic, like crappy tuning.

nice idea. natural but random (uncorrelated) amplitude envelopes.
