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.
