Ido Govrin - Erratum
|
Interval
Recordings IL09 |
Erratum takes as its
point of departure a conceptual juxtaposition of Marcel
Duchamp's Erratum Musicale and John Cage's museumcircle
to further reflect upon the concepts of error and failure
in art. Erratum comes in the form of a single
interdisciplinary multiple containing (in a clamshell box)
a custom-made 10" vinyl record* and a series of seven (7)
litho-prints**.
* A 15-minute-long music
composition, composed by the artist, is pressed on the
vinyl record via a unique erratic process of record
printing which experimentally guarantees the success (or
failure) of audio playback. Voice: Rebecca Gimmi, Daniella
Sanader, and an unrecognized 3rd person.
** Greyscale litho-prints
(11 x 15", Ogunigami Japanese paper, 36 g), which ghostly
expose specific stations throughout the Via Dolorosa
(in Jerusalem's old city), are made using a similar
printing technique.
Erratum is numbered
and signed, limited to one copy worldwide.

Adaya Godlevsky - Seam |
Interval
Recordings IL08 |
"Seam", Adaya Godlevsky's
debut release on Interval Recordings, marks yet another
challenging release of the label's ongoing musical output.
Along its 13 chapters, Godlevsky uses her celtic harp and
voice to gently constitute seams; seams as boarder lines
between strumming and scratching a string, between tapping
the sound box and an arpeggio flow, between a classically
notated composition and improvised music derived from a
graphic score. The seam is always and already the boarder
line, presence in this release as a result of Godlevsky's
different artistic practices; performance, composition,
playing and singing.
Price: 15$ (Shipping & Handling Included)

Duprass - Galut (Diaspora) |
Interval
Recordings IL07 |
‘Galut (Diaspora)’ was
created as a radio drama. Nonetheless, it was originally
exhibited as a sound installation at ‘Barbur’ gallery in
Jerusalem (Solo Exhibition, March 3rd to March 31st 2011).
The installation, consisted of eight audio channels and
text, as well as a single painting hanged on the gallery’s
wall, has gone through another artistic mutation as
presented to you here; the piece was mixed down to stereo
signal and mastered to single CD format. Despite of that
fact that the exhibition catalog was printed only in
Hebrew, we formally publish the catalog together with this
release for the interest of listeners who cannot
understand its original language, both audibly and
visually.

Kiki Keren-Huss - Mi/Me |
Interval
Recordings IL06 |
Mi/Me, Kiki Keren-Huss'
debut release on Interval Recordings, is a chamber opera
for four singers, six players and electronics. It somewhat
came into being about 18 years ago through an obscure
image the composer had had during a sleepless night. That
image, hallucinated, as a hyper-real desire and thought,
draw a woman confronting her man while another man, a-la
Lewis Carol's plot, getting taller and taller threatening
to perform a cannibalistic act upon her. The couple,
apparently, tries to escape... the seed had been sown.
The opera Mi/Me is a journey into the inner world of a
woman, following the many voices of her consciousness.
There is no linear narrative in Mi/Me. The four characters
and six players are playing, singing and moving on the
stage most of the time with no connection to one another.
They take part in dreamlike situations that dissipate like
soap bubbles.
Out of all these voices a complex multi-layered world
evolves. The world of Mi/Me.

Jennifer Walshe- Nature Data |
Interval
Recordings IL05 |
‘Why is the phoneme the most
‘ideal’ of signs? Where does this complicity between sound
and ideality, or rather, between voice and ideality, come
from? When I speak, it belongs to the phenomenological
essence of this operation that I hear myself [je
m’entende] at the same time that I speak. The signifier,
animated by my breath and by the meaning-intention, is in
absolute proximity to me. The living act, the life-giving
act, the Lebendigkeit, which animates the body of the
signifier and transforms it into a meaningful expression,
the soul of language, seems not to separate itself from
itself, from its own self-presence.’ [J.Derrida, the Voice
That Keeps Silence, Speech and Phenomena]
Voice – Breath – Signifier; Walshe’s debut release on
Interval Recordings signifies the temporary hidden space,
the interval, just about to be revealed. ‘Nature Data’,
the album’s title, captures Walshe’s unique voice in the
field of sonic arts and performance; as a becoming-animal,
becoming-nature, her voice, breaths and all occurrences in
between, audible and not, signifies that data, as nature,
as presence.

Ido Govrin - Moraine |
Interval
Recordings IL04 |
‘Moraine’ by Ido Govrin is
composed of exquisite sound qualities consisting of
restrained gestures of simultaneous assembling and
disassembling processes, slow though diligent creation
holds a promise for total collapse, destruction, and as
such, fills the listener with sweet sadness and longing.
The album’s name, ‘Moraine’, indicates the working process
but not just that. Moraine is a geological phenomenon
created when the bedrock underneath is scoured and crushed
by the movement and extreme pressure of a glacier
eventually to the size of dust grains. It is being
transported beneath the glacier’s infrastructure as a
thick stratum of solid substance and creates various forms
throughout the plateau. In ‘Moraine’, Ido Govrin
investigates the micro level of sound process where vast
amount of sound partials are being generated and
manipulated; blocs of sonic substance creates morphed
sound strata. Continuous forms and entities of sound
collide into each other, crushed and woven into one
another; the acoustic gale seems to briefly appear as a
spatial object, dwelling in space. Promptly afterwards,
the stratification and deterritorialization continues
simultaneously. The six electro-acoustic pieces exhibited
in ‘Moraine’ were partly created by the
analysis-re-synthesis process of acoustic instruments
(Cello and Violin) and partly by a pure computer generated
process of sound.

Mem1 - +1 |
Interval
Recordings IL03 |
‘… unlike trees or their
roots, the rhizome connects any point to any other point,
and its traits are not necessarily linked to traits of the
same nature; it brings into play very different regimes of
signs, and even non-sign states. The rhizome is reducible
neither to the one not the multiple. It is not the One
that becomes Two or even directly three,
four, five…’ [Deleuze & Guattari (1980): A Thousand
Plateaus]
+1, Interval Recordings'
second release by Los Angeles-based electroacoustic duo
Mem1 (Mark + Laura Cetilia), introduces listeners to
a series of collaborations between the duo and nine guest
artists: Jan Jelinek, Ido Govrin, Area C, RS-232, Frank
Bretschneider, Kadet Kuhne, Jen Boyd, Jeremy Drake, and
Steve Roden. Whether the collaborations took place in an
old cabin by the lake, on a hot and hazy day in a
painter's studio, or floating through the infinite void of
virtual space, the resulting works act
as transportive vessels. Removing us from
our surroundings, they deliver us to a place
that cannot exist in our daily lives, a transformative
space in which impossible realities collide and time
ceases to exist. Comprised of lush tapestries, fuzzy
dissonances, echoed rhythms and waves of electronic
wash, +1 is electroacoustic chamber
music for the twenty-first century.

Various Artists - Nothing Works
As Planned |
Interval
Recordings IL02 |
This double CD presents
diverse approaches to the phrase ‘nothing works as
planned' by nine composers and sound artists. Each and
every one of them captures a singular moment which was
compiled together to create an esthetic sonic statement of
reason and beauty.
‘Nothing works as planned' is comprised of live recordings
of concerts in Tel Aviv and New York. The double CD is a
documentation of a series, entitled “Nothing Works as
planned”, which held at the above mentioned cities and was
premiered at the Tel Aviv Biennale of New Music hosted by
the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. The premier took place in a
large suite of galleries that was between exhibitions and
therefore void of art work. The high ceilings, long
reverberation and departure from conventional concert
seating made for a cathedral-like setting and proved to be
an ideal site for the concert of works featuring
electronics, small ensembles and large video projections.
The series continued with a concert at the Issue Project
Room in Brooklyn, New York. IPR is located in a circular
tower that was once a silo situated on the Gowanus Canal .
Again, the unconventional setting and the unique
acoustical space made an ideal venue for the performance
of experimental music.

Mem1 - Alexipharmaca |
Interval
Recordings IL01 |
Alexipharmaca, Mem1’s second
full-length album, is a collection of
improvised works that capture the allure of the forbidden
and dangerous, and the modern fascination with things
ancient and shrouded in mystery.
The album’s title is taken from a set of poems written by
Nicander of
Colophon, a Greek pharmacologist (fl. 197-130 B.C.E.),
whose text
deals with plant and animal poisons and their antidotes.
Mem1’s music intoxicates with its rich textures and lavish
soundscapes, but — like a beautiful yet deadly flower —
something ominous inevitably lurks beneath the surface.
While toxic substances can bring elation and seemingly
endless bliss, they can be lethal in large doses.
Alexipharmaca provides the opportunity to experience this
sublime demise through the saturation of aural splendor.

Amnon Wolman - Sustains |
Interval
Recordings IL00 |
'Sustains' is an hypnotic journey to
Mr. Wolman's musical personality, a journey into sound
and silence, thoughts and feelings, mixed together in a
unique way… and the journey sustains, fades in and out
of a dream like state where the music is no longer only
define notes and sound structures – it is a whole living
form.
'Sustains' contains sound pieces, samples and original
sound synthesis structures which has a strong sense of
orchestral and classical music being digitally
processed, experimental drones in form of dark matter,
sound of the inner life of machines, instruments, and
humans, creating gentle fragments of existence to
produce a coherent creation of fine art. Music at its
most pure moments as a form of art where there's no need
for images or expressive symbols to generate a process…
yet the music, on top of being a musical inspiration per
se, creates musical moments as cinematic as an
avant-garde film.
