█ "In working with sound, video, and installation, Richard Garet has made █
█ an artform of interference. In previous work, he's employed photosensors █
█ to control a particular audio signal through the erratic nature of a █
█ violently pulsing abstract film. He's flooded a performance space with █
█ fog to disperse multi-channel video work into an ephemeral yet █
█ sculptural mass, accompanied by an equally diffused sound design. And █
█ here on Areal, Garet continues his ongoing research with electromagnetic █
█ disturbances through radio. Garet treats the radio process of █
█ transmission and reception as a routing system for the audio signal, all █
█ the while deliberately agitating and distressing the nodes that direct █
█ the course of that signal. For example, an electrical motor might be █
█ situated near a radio's antenna disrupting its ability to properly █
█ receive a transmission that Garet is broadcasting from nearby. Through █
█ the controlled use of electro-acoustic techniques (some rough and █
█ volatile, some refined and delicate), he organizes the signal █
█ distortion, the crackling static, and the ever-present tendencies for █
█ feedback into swarms of chiming resonance, electrically sourced █
█ harmonics, tactile bricolage, and impressionist din. As much as Garet's █
█ process pushes the interaction of sound and electricity to the brink of █
█ self-immolation, Areal balances his crunched textures with extended █
█ passages of radiant blooms of blurry noise and drone, finding common █
█ ground between the glassine density from Rhys Chatham and the splintered █
█ excursions of Kevin Drumm." █
