Kyrielle is an invocation to the Virgin Mary. The title is from a medieval French poetic form based on the Kyrie (“God have mercy on us”). Since it has the French “elle” (“she”) embedded in it, the word Kyrielle can also evoke a female deity, not just the Christian Mary, but all compassionate female spirits such as the Chinese Kwan-Yin, the Japanese Kannon, and the Tibetan Tara.

I created the tape part on a Macintosh G4 computer, using C-Sound and ProTools.”

Review Reblog – Kasper T. Toeplitz & Anna Zaradny ~ Stacja Nigdy w Życiu — a closer listen

How to best translate the live experience to the vinyl experience? Play it loud. Having been (pleasantly) deafened by Anna Zaradny at the Unsound Festival a few years back, I was heartened to hear two new LPs from the artist this season: the current collaboration with Kasper T. Toeplitz on Aussenraum and a solo set on Musica Genera / Bocian Records. […]

I can always count on A Closer Listen to expand my musical  journey in new directions and this fits with the theme this week of Electroacoustic music.

Reblog – The New Peruvian Electronic Renaissance — Bandcamp Daily

 

“We have not been an industrialized society. It’s been precarious, but that has spawned a very inventive and rich culture.” —Luis Alvarado Electronic music in Peru dates back to the 1960s, but you’d be forgiven for not knowing that until recently. The tropical bass boom has put the Andean nation on electronic music’s global map, and […]

News – Immagini Per Diana Baylon: new vinyl by Teresa Rampazzi — laura zattra

As with the spellbinding Musica Endoscopica, this issue of Immagini Per Diana Baylon – one of her three known soundtracks for art installations – helps to place Teresa as Italy’s answer to Daphne Oram; that is, a pioneering female experimenter operating in a male dominated field since the ’50s, and an artist/musician/technician who was magnetically drawn to the emerging possibilities […]

Reblog – Visuals to sounds: the Oramics Machine

Here is another in the series Visuals to Sound from nnnoises.com

nnnoises's avatarnnnoises

Nowadays lots of media artists, musicians and music software and hardware products are dedicated to translating visuals into sounds and vice versa. One of the pioneers in this area of “visual sound” was a British electronic composer called Daphne Oram. She was one of the founders of the famous BBC Radiophonic Workshop in 1958. But after hearing Poème électronique of Edgar Varese at the Brussels World’s Fair, she decided to leave the BBC and start her own electronic music studio a year later, the Oramics Studios for Electronic Composition. In this studio, she made one of the first synthesizers and quite likely the first audiovisual synthesizer in the beginning of the 1960s: the Oramics Machine.

With this (of course) analogue and largely mechanical machine, she drew shapes and waveforms onto a synchronised set of ten 35mm film strips which overlayed a series of photo-electric cells. These cells in…
