about

This is a collection of live improvised electronic music. Last winter, we were rehearsing and exploring Stockhausen’s indeterminate scores – particularly those using short wave radio as source material. We had also been studying the legacy of Hugh Davies. Following our usual methodology, this was a purposeful and recursive meander, involving research, discussion, experiment and rehearsal.

The pandemic intervened. We were no longer trying to pick up signals in our studio, but were trying to communicate across Zoom. Using the scores was impractical, but our previous work stayed in mind as we tried to maintain our practice. We experimented with different set ups over the weeks of lockdown, but our experience was always of partial success – trying to listen to each other and the ensemble sound was difficult when playing remotely.

When we played the recordings back, we were surprised and pleased at how successful they were, but also how strange and alien they seemed. There were only occasional moments of recognition when we could identify sound sources and individual interventions. We had sent our signals out and they had returned to us modulated, distorted and transformed – unfamiliar and uncanny.
