▀▀▀ ░ ░ ▀▀▀
░ From Gregg Kowalsky: After my first album for ░
░ kranky, I was eager to adapt a new method of ░
░ composing and performing as a way to distance ░
░ myself from the digital realm. I felt limited by ░
░ the unlimited possibilities of digital ░
░ production, and I had spent the previous 5 years ░
░ composing with the computer as my main ░
░ instrument. In an effort to push myself I spent ░
░ two years experimenting with tape loops, cassette ░
░ players and recorders, analog synths, sine ░
░ oscillators, mixer feedback, contact mics and ░
░ various acoustic sound sources. ░
░ ░
░ Through these experiments I developed a series ░
░ entitled Tape Chants, which is made up of ░
░ performances and compositions using tapes as the ░
░ main source material, as well as the mono ░
░ speakers of various cassette players for the ░
░ piece's amplification. All of the cassettes are ░
░ tuned to each other using the pitch control and ░
░ halfspeed playback devices located on the Sony ░
░ TCM 200DV cassette recorder. All of the ░
░ compositions are constructed with tuned sinewaves ░
░ as the starting point and the pieces are built ░
░ using sources such as shruti box, percussion, ░
░ gongs, etc. ░
░ ░
░ The live performances of Tape Chants begin with ░
░ the placement of the 6-10 cassette recorders and ░
░ boomboxes around the performance space. The piece ░
░ is begun by adjusting the amplitudes of the ░
░ individual tape players. I walk around the space ░
░ listening to the overall mix and slowly adjust ░
░ the volume on the players╒ to create a live lo-fi ░
░ surround sound mix. Depending on where each ░
░ member of the audience is located, they will hear ░
░ the piece slightly differently than the person ░
░ next to them. Psychoacoustic phenomena play a ░
░ large role in the performance due to the ░
░ different spaces the piece is performed in. The ░
░ live set fits somewhere between sound ░
░ installation and performance. ░
░ ░
░ During the construction of the studio version of ░
░ Tape Chants, I was interested in adding rhythmic ░
░ textures to the once static drone compositions. ░
░ This is a newer approach which I have been ░
░ focusing on, finding new ways and means to break ░
░ up the static drone. ░
░ ░
░ The recorded version of Tape Chants does not try ░
░ to replicate the surround sound component of the ░
░ live performances, but there is a variety of ░
░ different acoustic spaces located in the source ░
░ material. Many of the same cassettes that were ░
░ used in the several editions of the series were ░
░ used to record this album. ░
