Re: [microsound] Re: Documenting sound installations

[jeff gburek <tsazmaniac@xxxxxxxxx>]

just two cents again, i was particularly inspired to
do a release for two portable cd players(see
below)because it did seem within anyone's reach
economically (almost). the sounds are high freq. sines
transformed gradually over 1/2 hour to create a kind
of noctrunal forrest effect. it was first realized
spontaneously for a theatrical performance that needed
a certain "something" and i spent and afternoon
improvising the sounds that would go onto the cds.
they were timed to go on when i was not in the room
playing, so there is a mysterious effect. the thing
that was most important to me was that like a forrest
you have no one true listening experience any more
valuable than any another in this sound environment.
so that, like an installation, the experience is never
comnpletely fixed. if you have an interest in adding
indeterminacy, this can be a good method. if you are
trying to control the listening experience, to channel
it into certain illusions of depth, then not.

Entlarvung is a 4 channel sound environment.
Realization requires that two portable playback
devices with the smaller variety of ear-phones be
placed on opposite ends of an enclosed room. The
devices should then be set to playing simultaneously.
The shape of the room and position of the devices is
very important, as is the volume setting, which should
be somewhere between mid to full and balanced between
the two devices. Since all sound comes through only
these tiny speakers, heard by one who freely wanders
about the room, the position of the listener and room
reflectivity determine the character of the
experience. ENTLARVUNG is a non-conclusive network of
sound. Each channel is unique and there is no attempt
to represent any ?original? stereo simulacrum. This is
not a commercial recording to be inserted casually
into your home or car stereo?s playback device. This
release subverts the usage of CD technology towards
the ends of the indeterminate composition. These two
CD-Rs contain 4 separate sound files that are
considered the materials and score for ?ENTLARVUNG?, a
non-conclusive sound network. First installation in
Amsterdam, Marci Panis Salon, May 2004. Cover design
