Description
-
Kim Cascone has been working on a triptych of computer music for the past 3 years. The first two releases "blueCube ()" and "cathodeFlower" were investigations into some compositional techniques he was developing at the time. His final installation of the triptych is titled "residualism" and takes these techniques in a somewhat different description. Instead of embracing long flowing works residualism contains smaller atomic pieces which can be combined and layered in any way for future projects. The inspiration from this came from when he was on holiday in Los Angeles. Walking into a clothing boutique here the owner had a popular sampling CD playing on the music system. Instead of hearing a composite, layered mix of these samples as typically used in techno compositions, everyone in the shop was enjoying a more "atomic" form of music. Instead of the parts making up the whole, the whole was the individual parts. "residualism" is an attempt to utilise this format to explore small units of sound information.
"residualism" was developed for the Lovebytes Festival and is tentatively planned as a CD release on Mille Plateaux/Ritomell later this year. "blueCube ()" was released on Rastermusic in 1998 and "cathodeFlower" was released on Mille Plateaux/Ritomell in 1999.
