Residual Productivity

2014 | percussion quartet and live electronics (8')

 

Commissioned by Architek percussion quartet (CA).
Sponsored by CIRMMT (Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology).

Residual productivity musicalizes vintage household machines (typewriter, sewing machine, radio)  and folds together technology from different eras. The old found objects are zoomed in with the help of precisely placed and very sensitive microphones (contact- and condenser microphones, modified hydrophones and equipment used for terrestrial studies, leak detection and surveillance).

Selected performances: live@cirmmt MMR (Montréal, CA (Premiere, 20140213)),  Suoni per Il Popolo /Codes’daccés (Montreal, CA), Amphithéâtre Le Gesù (Montreal, CA), Cluster New music and Intergrated Arts Festival (Winnipeg, CA).
