Signal Messe transcript

Signal Messe

Recording of Peter Tod Lewis's Signal Messe. "Signal-messe" is an attempt to make a single coherent "bi-sensory" experience from two independent media expressions. The "performers" were the creators, having long since stored their improvisations on magnetic tape or film. The "mess" of stored "signals" was severely cut, edited, processed, mixed, according to a structure that seemed to be dictated by the material itself (though, naturally, in light of subjective considerations). The structure continued to emerge when the two elements, tape and film, were presented together. It was evident they had much in common: the film seemed, incredibly, a visual analogy of the music, their internal rhythms identical. It remained simply to synchronize the two to match certain salient audio features with video ones. The film is a movie of various video patterns produced largely through video feedback of a black and white system and then converted to color by a video color quantized, a unique device which allows the operator to assign virtually any color to any value in the video grey scale. The film provides a window (a “space gate?”) into a fantastic color world that just might be the same aesthetic realm as that of the sound.

Mithril Canticles transcript

Mithril Canticles

Recording of Michael Christopher's Mithril Canticles. This piece is a heavily edited work utilizing two opposing sound ideas. One is "noise-oriented" sound achieved through fast sequential activity processed by ring modulating the reverb. This activity is opposed to the three-to-five note tune which permeates the work.
