alluvion - alluvium2 3" CDR

since the mid-ninties, alluvion's work has fused high and low 
technology to explore the sounds hidden in the everyday objects. the 
computer receives input from various sources - everything from 
disembodied transistor radios and electromagnetic interference 
created by applicances, to small bits of found cassette dragged 
across tape heads and email converted into audio files. physical 
sources are modified in a manner that is as much a part of the 
creative process as the recording/mixing/editing. radios and 
keyboards are torn apart, guitars are played with remote controls and 
mallets, data files are scrambled and randomized, vinyl records are 
treated with glue, carved with razors, coated with spraypaint, left 
outdoors to endure the elements. the supposed randomness of this 
inaudible portion of the compositional process is what gives life to 
the sounds hidden in everyday objects, and form the basis of 
alluvion's digital exploration.
