about

Technological Music Vol. 2
or, Regarding, in Addition to Concerns Previously Explicated, Matters of Process, Artifice, and Verisimilitude

A series of calculated disasters wherein compositional intent is exercised to varying degrees before and/or after the moment of performance. The Irreproducible Results are single-pass, unedited improvisations featuring borrowed gear configured to maximise complexity and minimise predictability. The remainder are heavily edited constructions utilising detritus of the aforementioned experiments, with the Pulse Matrices continuing a game of formal telephone begun on Vol. 1.

Tools include oboe, English horn, heckelphone, baritone oboe, microphones, and analogue synthesis.

Many thanks to Lance Grabmiller, Matt Ingalls, Scott Goff, Ernst Karel, Niko Wenner, Allon Kaye, and the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players.

Manual
by The BSC

The definitive document of a critical juncture in improvised music. A heartening instance of peers eloquently asserting their place in the Grand Narrative by, well, writing it themselves. Kyle Bruckmann

STRATIC
by stratic

A thoroughly distinct Bay Area take on another possible facet of 'eai' (electro-acoustic improvisation). Feisty, confident, flecked with surprising streaks of krautrock... Kyle Bruckmann
