Introducing, Reblog, Season

Live in session: Phantom Chips

Spending an afternoon looking through the Experimental artists as part of the season I am doing on Experimental Electronic Music and Fractal Meat on Spongy Bone is a good place to start.
Here is someone that is on my radar – Phantom Chips

Phantom Chips plays live this Friday 28th November – tune in via NTS, 8-10am

Phantom Chips performs with an array of home made electronic instruments, samplers and wearable noisemakers. Concocting rhythms from manipulated found and recorded sounds Phantom Chips invites the audience to wear and play her costumes and join in with the audio. The costumes create sound through movement and allow audience members to experiment with a brand-new form of musical expression. The deliberately clumsy and awkward interfaces invite playfulness and improvisation.

Australian-born Tara Pattenden works in the field of analog electronics, noise performance and soft circuitry. She has been making noise and mess for over 15 years performing with kunt, monster zoku onsomb and as schmelfhelp.

Liz-helman

Studio guest on Friday 20th MArch will be Liz Helman: tune into NTS from 8am to 10am.

Liz Helman is a London-based artist and independent curator working across different media, including photography, video and sound. Manipulating her own recorded and found sound, she constructs atmospheric sound pieces, and in all her time-based media works, she explores the psychological and emotional attachment to place and dwelling. Journeying between recollection and reality, she challenges format driven orthodoxies, fragmenting and layering image and sound to consider the experience of dislocation and displacement.

Anna Caragnano & Donato Dozzy ~ Sintetizzatrice

Courtesy of A Closer Listen.

postrockcafe's avatara closer listen

SintetizzatriceAmbient in nature, yet stemming from an electronic background, Sintetizzatrice is a departure for Donato Dozzy and a wonderful debut for Anna Caragnano. The album’s title is the Italian feminine for “synthesizer”, but in this case it’s more of a synthesis.  Donato Dozzy layers and loops Cagagnano’s voice into lovely shapes and sizes.  These from time to time resemble the work of a synthesizer, but also flute, violin, even drums.  Add the fact that the vocalist engages in whistles and onomatopoeia, and the results are remarkable.

Lisa Gerard comes to mind; Caragnano has that multi-octave range, most apparent on “Parallelo” but present throughout.  Katie Gately and Holly Herndon are other recent contemporaries.  With the recent resurgence of interest in a cappella renditions (for example, “Pitch Perfect” and “The Sing-Off”), it’s amazing to hear all of the parts performed by a single voice.  But of course it’s not a single…
