Julien Ottavi: As a breath

[in the "White noise series". Composed in October 2003]

"As a breath" is part of my main work with the computer, which consists 
of building different series to go deeper into some aspects of the 
possibilities of computer music programming.

With the computer you could create more than an orchestra, more than an 
instrument, and most of the time people try to reproduce reality bigger 
than it exists. Through the Series project, I try to find some 
possibilities in programming musical software by linking with a sound 
concept and a musical composition, producing an evolutionnary framework. 
That's what I called "programmed composition". For the moment I have 
developped 7 series: White noise series, étudesauxhertz, 
meta-percussions series, voice and computer series, nervure magnétique, 
the grid series and the series « Is there a composer in the room ». Each 
peace is a realisation of an approach of a programmed configuration 
defining the series. For each series, I choose a particularity of 
musical programming as "white noise" synthesis and build a programm that 
just allows me to use this kind of sound and no others as a sound source 
material. I organise the programm to be limited to some processes around 
this particularity and then I try to find ways to play within this 
contraint.

In the "White noise series" I use only white noise synthesis processing 
with different modules which transform and filter the original sound. 
The sound source is very limited but the possibilities of creation you 
could find in white noise is really like infinite...

For the piece "As a breath" I focused on the idea that our breath is 
like a white noise filtered by our body from lung to mouth. So I tried 
to find a sound level which will be near the one of breath and tried to 
never go forward this level. In this way, there are a few dynamics in it 
from someone who sleeps to someone who runs.

Sometimes, in the listening we could have this feeling of a cold desert 
where there are a lot of events happening...

The Anti-Naturals: one hour as... six more arguments in our favor

The Anti-Naturals are a Romantic Modernist organization of artists, 
musicians, writers, and theorists. Our collaboration is based on a 
shared sense of aesthetic possibilities; we are motivated to seek new 
forms of truth, beauty and pleasure. We are aware of the magnitude of 
the forces mobilized by the System of Commodities. It is not enough to 
decry the existence of the Spectacle. We intend to use both art and 
theory as a battering ram against Capitalism and its false opposition, 
Tribalism, in all of its mystical forms. We believe it is possible to 
move beyond the inexcusable savagery of everyday life.

These six compositions, each about ten minutes in length, are like six 
arguments in favor of total aestheticization. Six arguments in which we 
combine the Good, the True, and the Beautiful, along with the Negative, 
into work that is innovative in terms of both function and beauty.

All material was recorded in 2003 and mastered at Überkatze Studio in 
Brooklyn, New York. For more information about the Anti-Naturals, visit

Frans de Waard: one hour as party people
For music produced under my own name, I always use field recordings and 
in many cases I do not add anything to the field recordings. By using 
field recordings, one thinks the composer only uses those sounds he 
likes - to a certain extent I do too. Recordings sounds I like, but 
there are various works with sounds that really annoy me. Maybe it's so 
that I can enjoy the sounds by recording them, or maybe I can kill them 
by recording it. Maybe I'm a masochist. In OneHours As Party People I 
recorded the downstairs neighbour celebrating her birthday. I had set 
out to watch television that night, the balcony doors open and in the 
small backyard below these people talked on end. At every point there 
are at least different conversations going on. After being annoyed for a 
few hours I started the recording. Almost seventy minutes later they 
went inside. One Hour As Party People is the exact last hour of the 
party outside. The party continued inside, giving me a night of hardly 
any sleep.  - Frans de Waard, 23-VII-2003
