Threads of metallic (in)coherence (reviews: Of Life, Recombinant)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaNoaGo1SDw Fractions of stillness close to being shattered? warped halos of reverberating pitches? a very seducing utopia? Massimo Ricci of Touching Extremes describes the experience of listening to Of Life, Recombinant (NEWJAiM9): We listen, we wait. Breathing deeply, relaxed enough yet ready to be sucked in by some vortex of illusion. We absorb the blows of sudden mutations connected by threads of metallic (in)c…

Beauty into dread-inducing dreamscapes and the detritus of a creative life

…what’s hidden that will be unearthed? Lee Rice Epstein reviews Of Life, Recombinant (NEWJAiM9) in Free Jazz: Of Life, Recombinant tells multiple stories at once, opening up a wide aperture and displaying stunningly drawn vistas. The four-song suite makes for a fantastic headphone album, as small details invite your attention ever more deeply throughout…. The fugue-like state is but one-layer of Park’s suite. As they progress, ‘Game: Mutation,’ ‘N…

SPLICE: ‘Bandwidth’ (excerpt A)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu317LnCEoE Watch the first eight minutes of ‘Bandwidth,’ my audio-visual piece performed as part of SPLICE back in October. What happens to interaction when gesture and context are removed by distance? A playful, noisy exploration of the oblique fictions of Here and Now, and Then and There. As I wrote previously, this was the first public, on-stage performance of my videographic compositional work which I’d been d…

[Click ‘notify me’…] By turns light-as-a-feather, and heavy and prickly as a bucket of rusty nails, the music is of contradiction and ambiguity. Leaps into ’90s HatHut pastiche are followed by truckers-in-space-engine-rumbles; slow-crawls-from-the-swap of irony-free ‘bells’n’smells’ sound art followed by turns-turns-turns-on-a-dime mutant Free Funk.
