Loci_
Loci_ is another audio-visual project by Blake Carrington.
“Loci_” is a series of prints generated by a custom sound-to-image visualizer. Audio field recordings are fed into the system, then manipulated into abstract imagery that brushes against architectural and topographic representation. The project deals with perceptual analogues to the conversion of audiovisual data, and is motivated by a statement from R. Murray Schafer: “All visual projections of sounds are arbitrary and fictitious”.
The author is currently working on re-writing the Max/MSP/Jitter patch to accommodate a much larger physical scale. The imagery is created in real-time and relies much on feedback loops of matrix data to create the forms. Possible developments for the future include vinyl mural prints and audiovisual performance with widescreen high-definition projection.

At the core of “Suomenlinna Ornithological Society” is the invention of new bird species with electronic birdsongs. The concrete sources of these birdsongs are samples taken from a Suomenlinna museum film about the history of the island. Explosions, cannonball whistles, and grisly vocal narrations are re-shaped into the rhythms, timbres and frequencies of birdsong. This transformation references the Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP), a supposedly paranormal occurrence where voices of the dead are heard via electronic technology.
Qualche novità dalla netlabel
