More Info

EVIDENCE ist der Projektname eines Duos von SCOTT SMALLWOOD und STEPHAN MOORE, dies die zweite Veröffentlichung mit 11 Stücken, die auf der DVD von verschiedenen Videokünstlern visuell "begleitet" wurden. Auf "Iris" dominieren flächige und loopige Arrangements, die wohl grösstenteils auf Feldaufnahmen basieren. Es ergeben sich mitunter rhythmische Muster, dröhnminimalistische (Anti)-Statik fusioniert mit field recordings...

"Iris, the second CD release from the duo Evidence (Stephan Moore and Scott Smallwood) on the Deep Listening label, is also their first video release. The DVD has the same sonic material as the music on the CD, but it features video pieces by the duo's favorite live-video performers, including Benton-C Bainbridge, Betsey Biggs, Fi$h2000, Madeleine Gallagher, Dawn Haleta, David Lublin, Jonathan Lee Marcus, Olivia Robinson, skfl, Diana Reed Slattery, Jack Turner and Walter Wright. These pieces emphasize the spontaneity of the artists' live performances, the practice of using 'found' materials, and suggest the emergence of a regional aesthetic stemming from the recent hotbed of media performance centered around Troy, New York. Stephan Moore is a composer, improviser, audio artist, sound designer and software programmer from Marquette, Michigan, currently based in New York City. His work is grounded in the collection and investigation of environmental sound recordings and a fascination with the perception and properties of acoustic environments. Scott Smallwood deals with real and abstracted soundscapes based on a practice of listening, improvisation, and phonography. Ranging from sonic photographs, studio compositions, instrumental pieces, and improvisations, the resulting pieces are often textural, always mindful of space and subtlety." [lable info]
