Olivia Block & Kyle Bruckmann: Teem

catalog number: either/4

artist: OLIVIA BLOCK & KYLE BRUCKMANN

title: Teem

format: CD

link: www.and-oar.org/pop_either_4.html

Bruckmann and Block’s creative relationship dates back to the

recording of Block’s 1999 release Pure Gaze, shortly after both

artists entered into Chicago’s vibrant experimental music

community. Their decision to create a collaborative duo ensued,

but remained in the realm of good intentions until shortly before

Bruckmann’s relocation to the San Francisco Bay Area.

They then began playfully stockpiling sounds from a myriad of

sources, collecting field material, and recording duo improvisations

in various spaces using hallway intercom systems and unorthodox

microphone placements, among other processes and techniques.

This initial activity was followed by five years of collaborative

editing, processing and mixing, resulting in the emergent expanse

that is Teem.

Ernst Karel: Heard Laboratories

catalog number: and/35

artist: ERNST KAREL

title: Heard Laboratories

format: CD

link: www.and-oar.org/pop_and_35.html

Heard Laboratories is a sonic ethnography of scientific research environments

at Harvard University, made using Schoeps cardioid mics in ORTF stereo

configuration and a Sound Devices audio recorder. The sounds of equipment,

devices, and activities draw attention to the physical processes underlying

scientific research, the work underway which provides a ground for our highly

technologized society. In the name of human progress, enormous resources

are devoted to and consumed by such activities, which are both hidden and

taken for granted. Heard Laboratories brings this background to the fore.

Adrián Demoč: Zikkurat / Variations For Piano

catalog number: either.p32

artist: ADRIÁN DEMOČ

title: Zikkurat / Variations For Piano

format: MP3

link: www.and-oar.org/pop_eitherp32.html

The either/OAR division continues to refine and define its parameters with the

latest free online release by Slovakian composer Adrián Demoč. Adrián's work

ranges from composition in the European classical tradition (as featured here)

to highly experimental improvised work using electronics and instruments.

I hope the usual followers of and/OAR will give the work time to settle in and

take hold, because once it does, it should reward the attentive listener with

a moving experience. I'm very happy to have the opportunity to present work

of this nature via either/OAR and hope to do so again in the future. Enjoy!
