Keith Fullerton Whitman bursts back with
his first full length record in four
years, "Disingenuity b/w
Disingenuousness", comprising of two
pieces of forward thinking electronic
music with a deep exploration into the
analogue sound. Live and studio
recordings of the past two years
(Cambridge-New York-Toronto) were used
as source material, which were then
realized into two longform compositions.
Using a Musique ConcrΦte approach of
deconstructed sounds (ala Pietro Grossi,
Costin Miereanu, Basil Kirchin, Dub
Taylor, etc) "Disingenuity b/w
Disingenuousness" encompasses various
reference points from Franτois Bayle,
Jacques Lejeune, Richard Pinhas & Heldon
to the minimal textures of Basic
Channel-Chain reaction axis...
Both tape-collage pieces which derived
from an hour-long improvisation based
around a setup involving a tape of
chance field-recordings (a helicopter,
walking on snow, children) bounced to a
mono nagra tape machine, which is
covered in contact mic's that translate
not just the sound coming from the
speakers, but the actual mechanical
"interface" of the unit into control
voltage & triggers that drive a modular
synth that's processing said audio using
the classic electronic music toolkit
(i.e. ring modulation, panning VCA's,
filters, etc).
