The piece establishes a non-place, an in-between zone which draws on the tension, both physical and perceptual, between two contradictory positions – while cumulatively fostering a state where the listener simultaneously holds both positions equally – where you not only expects things to change but also to remain as they are. Fundamentally, listening is to hear not only sound but also disturbances in the air in a given location: This engenders an embodied and physical experience, where quiet undisturbed air is as audible as a fierce wind. This kind of listening is also about being attendant to the specificities of the air – changes in pressure, temperature and humidity - their effect on the air and sound alongside their importance for a location’s context over a given duration.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSPECTRES:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eComprised entirely of in-situ recordings using tone generators in 9 post-Communist architectures, SPECTRES presents an interrogation of contemporary society across the threshold of the architecture from a former, but recent, epoch. A statement at that epoch’s inception, “alles Ständische und Stehende verdampft”, is often poetically translated as “all that is solid melts into air”, but literally is “all that is Standing and has Stood [will] vapourise”. These ‘Standing entities’ incorporate institutions (‘Bodies’) and corporations - in physical terms: the architectures and the utopian sociocultural visions these architectures framed. SPECTRES uses the air itself to interrogate a series of post-Communist architectural locations across Poland via a simple intervention\/modulation: drawing the surrounding air and current manifestation of contemporary political and geographical economies into the buildings, their volumes: the very monuments of those that Stood and are Standing, the dwellings and inhabitations of the corporatised Bodies. SPECTRES’ 10day recording in 2019 traversed cultural centres, social housing projects through to northern and southern centres of the Polish Solidarity movement) at its 30year anniversary, their architectures present a threshold, framing each location and context.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSPECTRES was commissioned by MŰTŐ \u0026amp; UH Festival (Hungary) with SHAPE platform (EU).\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBRONZE LANDS:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eFull live concert recording of Bronze Lands (Tailte Cré-Umha) for Sydney Festival on the 64ft Sydney Town Hall grand pipe organ with in-house soundsystem including twelve 18\" subwoofers. Performed before a live audience at the sold-out event, 300 people lying down and 300 more seated upstairs, in the 80m long Centennial Hall before the 20m high \u0026amp; 30m wide organ. Bronze Lands (Tailte Cré-Umha) is a solo performance for live pipe organ and soundsystem. The soundsystem accompaniment comprises recordings from turn-of-the-century unmodernised pipe organs across County Cork and rural Cornwall which effectively allowed precise control of the movement of air through each organ's pipes. The basis for the piece's score and structure draws on Ireland’s relations with Cornwall and Mediterranean Europe. 5000 years ago, coming into the Bronze Age, Ireland’s copper and Cornwall’s tin traversed the continent to make bronze. Bronze Lands derives the shape and movement of the score from the shape and movements of that route. This route traverses mostly marine, coastal and river systems, covering 4000kms over the piece’s 50minute duration. Bronze Lands uses this navigation of the landscape itself as the score as those people and materials travel land, sea, sky and Europe in a climate of change.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Robert Curgenven\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Recorded Fields\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-10-22T17:30:02+09:00","created_at":"2021-10-22T11:15:55+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["cd","drone","new","Robert Curgenven"],"price":325000,"price_min":325000,"price_max":325000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":41909939372282,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Robert Curgenven \/\/ Beyond Enclosures 3xCD","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":325000,"weight":180,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/be1_57b3440a-c2e8-4a80-ba4d-43c7576f2112.jpg?v=1634868957","\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/be2_446b2940-32c6-43cb-ae87-824f70cbfc4d.jpg?v=1634868957","\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/be3_e4f3e8c3-4f2e-4279-89b8-1d75bd5f1db7.jpg?v=1634868957"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/be1_57b3440a-c2e8-4a80-ba4d-43c7576f2112.jpg?v=1634868957","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":25328578658554,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/be1_57b3440a-c2e8-4a80-ba4d-43c7576f2112.jpg?v=1634868957"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/be1_57b3440a-c2e8-4a80-ba4d-43c7576f2112.jpg?v=1634868957","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":25328578691322,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"width":1200,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/be2_446b2940-32c6-43cb-ae87-824f70cbfc4d.jpg?v=1634868957"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/be2_446b2940-32c6-43cb-ae87-824f70cbfc4d.jpg?v=1634868957","width":1200},{"alt":null,"id":25328578724090,"position":3,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.502,"height":799,"width":1200,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/be3_e4f3e8c3-4f2e-4279-89b8-1d75bd5f1db7.jpg?v=1634868957"},"aspect_ratio":1.502,"height":799,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/be3_e4f3e8c3-4f2e-4279-89b8-1d75bd5f1db7.jpg?v=1634868957","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e過去にLINEやTapeworm、Touchなどから作品を発表しているアイルランド在住オーストラリア人サウンドアーティストRobert Curgenven諸作を入荷しました。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e本作は、教会でのパイプオルガンやターンテーブル奏法でのドローン、フィールドレコーディングでのフィードバック・ドローンなど、彼が得意とするドローンを様々なアプローチで演奏したインスタレーションに近い作品です。DLコード付属。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2104022255\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3CD set in hand-folded paper cover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1.

These works entreat us to think and hear beyond the\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e structures enclosing each instrumental- and performance- approach – the turntable body, the architectural, the pipe organ, the speaker enclosure itself, even the confines of an audience as a gathering – and also to consider these longform works as an inter-related suite of aural and conceptual worlds.\u003c\/span\u003e \"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e~~~\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBARDO:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eBardo deploys turntables accompanied by discrete intrusions of pipe organ and piano harmonics to create a spatial and temporal suspension permeated by an aetheric tactility, as sounds disorientingly enter and leave, merging and confusing the boundaries of interiority and exteriority. The piece establishes a non-place, an in-between zone which draws on the tension, both physical and perceptual, between two contradictory positions – while cumulatively fostering a state where the listener simultaneously holds both positions equally – where you not only expects things to change but also to remain as they are. Fundamentally, listening is to hear not only sound but also disturbances in the air in a given location: This engenders an embodied and physical experience, where quiet undisturbed air is as audible as a fierce wind. This kind of listening is also about being attendant to the specificities of the air – changes in pressure, temperature and humidity - their effect on the air and sound alongside their importance for a location’s context over a given duration.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSPECTRES:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eComprised entirely of in-situ recordings using tone generators in 9 post-Communist architectures, SPECTRES presents an interrogation of contemporary society across the threshold of the architecture from a former, but recent, epoch. A statement at that epoch’s inception, “alles Ständische und Stehende verdampft”, is often poetically translated as “all that is solid melts into air”, but literally is “all that is Standing and has Stood [will] vapourise”. These ‘Standing entities’ incorporate institutions (‘Bodies’) and corporations - in physical terms: the architectures and the utopian sociocultural visions these architectures framed. SPECTRES uses the air itself to interrogate a series of post-Communist architectural locations across Poland via a simple intervention\/modulation: drawing the surrounding air and current manifestation of contemporary political and geographical economies into the buildings, their volumes: the very monuments of those that Stood and are Standing, the dwellings and inhabitations of the corporatised Bodies. SPECTRES’ 10day recording in 2019 traversed cultural centres, social housing projects through to northern and southern centres of the Polish Solidarity movement) at its 30year anniversary, their architectures present a threshold, framing each location and context.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSPECTRES was commissioned by MŰTŐ \u0026amp; UH Festival (Hungary) with SHAPE platform (EU).\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBRONZE LANDS:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eFull live concert recording of Bronze Lands (Tailte Cré-Umha) for Sydney Festival on the 64ft Sydney Town Hall grand pipe organ with in-house soundsystem including twelve 18\" subwoofers. Performed before a live audience at the sold-out event, 300 people lying down and 300 more seated upstairs, in the 80m long Centennial Hall before the 20m high \u0026amp; 30m wide organ. Bronze Lands (Tailte Cré-Umha) is a solo performance for live pipe organ and soundsystem. The soundsystem accompaniment comprises recordings from turn-of-the-century unmodernised pipe organs across County Cork and rural Cornwall which effectively allowed precise control of the movement of air through each organ's pipes. The basis for the piece's score and structure draws on Ireland’s relations with Cornwall and Mediterranean Europe. 5000 years ago, coming into the Bronze Age, Ireland’s copper and Cornwall’s tin traversed the continent to make bronze. Bronze Lands derives the shape and movement of the score from the shape and movements of that route. This route traverses mostly marine, coastal and river systems, covering 4000kms over the piece’s 50minute duration. Bronze Lands uses this navigation of the landscape itself as the score as those people and materials travel land, sea, sky and Europe in a climate of change.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Robert Curgenven\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Recorded Fields\u003c\/p\u003e"}
