æAcid In The Style Of David TudorÆ is
Florian HeckerÆs first full length
studio (as opposed to collections and
commissions for art installations) album
since 2003, when the groundbreaking æSun
PandΣmoniumÆ was unleashed by Mego.
Since then he has collaborated on audio
projects with Yasunao Tone, Russell
Haswell (as Haswell & Hecker) and a
forthcoming live collaboration with
Richard James as well a myriad of sound
installation works, individually and
with numerous artists worldwide.
As the title suggests this album is
referencing the parallel universes of
modern 20th century composition and
hedonistic rave culture. A challenging
but ultimately rewarding set of
Electronic Music compositions which push
these two reference points into unknown
areas.
Set in apparent contrast are the
sequence of six pieces Acid In The Style
of David Tudor, where hyperchaotic
functions are inherently coupled to
their sources of manipulation - a Buchla
modular synthesizer in combination with
a Comdyna analog computer - in
opposition to the ASA pieces, fruit of a
complex manipulation of distinct
auditory patterns into a new acoustic
whole. The closing Ten opens with an
intense head related localization blur.
Here, virtual binaural, stereophonic,
biphonic and monaural sound reproduction
coexist. All three approaches are
displayed into a contrasting dynamics,
where non- linear waveforms and
psychoacoustic illusions that constantly
push our perceptual and representational
fabrics. Following the ideas of Robin
Mackay, HeckerÆs work reinstanciates the
genetic ofness, once proposed by
philosopher David Kaplan, cutting both
genetic and cultural territories of
hearing.
