Show 0805: DIVersa_Nula by Thelmo Cristovam (Rádio Zero)

DIVersa_Nula – Thelmo Cristovam (2020)

As a sound artist living in Brazil, I bear in mind the idea of broadcasting. Distances spray along different lines and overlapping spatial identities. but there are fixed spaces which identity and segment this vast space yet multiple.

The piece is composed of three distinct moments & interests that collapse & run in parallel, the saxophone used as machine, the field recordings (here in the sertão, in particular) & the space/time manipulation through diverse fragmentation and  aa labour of modification from the sound files themselves provided through a physical process.

Brazil is a complex location. Indeed it crosses through a mobile variation of spaces, continuously shaping and interacting beyond geography stereotypes. The piece attempts  thus to reach an imaginary, immediate and simultaneous aural access to various locations, where I was always and now no longer visit. The image is from one of these locations.

Where i live in, up in the northeast, makes me wonder how to pose  interrogations and singularities which are kept invisible when thinking of Brazil as a whole. Departing from this, I try to present my work, not only against this fixed identity, but mainly and obviously as a personal process of sound-making.

Thelmo Cristovam, born 1975, lives and works in Olinda, Pernambuco, northeast region of Brazil. Improviser & composer, his academic background is in physics and mathematics, but he is an independent researcher in psychoacoustics. Breath/throat (sax, trumpet, trombone, flute) & electromagnetic waves (satellites/radio) are the main focus on his free improvisation performances and production/recording nowadays. His range of research/poetics includes radio art, noise/drone & field recordings based compositions. Besides his own production, he has given workshops on deep listening, sound art and field recordings, subjects that are the focus of many of his works, besides electroacoustic compositions and free improvisation. He also works as a sound designer for local short films and does research and sound engineering to several projects.

Show 0792: Bouncing Off by Rene Uijlenhoet (RadioWORM)

The composers Christine Cornwell and Jago Thornton bounce off on their musical ideas and on what bats might hear while flying inside a room or a chapel. They even muse on the secret afterlife of sound-waves and on the working of their musical brain.
Their introspection  – during an interview – are set into a retro-SciFi sound-scape, depicting the creative human brain as a giant nervous clockwork.

René Uijlenhoet studied composition with Ton Bruynèl. He works as a composer, performer, museum installation builder, teacher, researcher and expert in the field of electronic music.

He taught at the HKU, worked for NEAR and published the complete tape music by pioneers Dick Raaijmakers and Jan Boerman. Since 1997 he is affiliated with the composition department of Codarts Rotterdam.

His music has been published by Donemus, by Basta and also by Peer Verlag. For the purpose of composing and teaching, he investigates new forms of sound synthesis and spectralism, the relationship ‘color’ and ‘timbre’, microtonality, spatial representation (via Ambisonics, among others), algorithmic composing strategies, live electronics in combination with acoustic instruments. , the history of electronic music and analog studio techniques, improvisation using live programming and also sonication of medical research data.

Texts and voice recording by Christine Cornwell and Jago Thornton
The music for Bouncing Off was produced and mixed in the private studio of the composer.

Produced for Worm/Klangendum 2020
