James King and Peter O'Doherty present cyber-tech texted phonemes, sibilants, velar nasal agmas, buzzing hiss-pops and fricative fun.

All tracks are encoded in binaural audio so best listened to on headphones.

Recorded in Derry in June 2019.

Texts taken from "20 Performance Texts (2019)" by Peter O'Doherty, a collection of computer-generated pseudorandom texts.

released October 3, 2021

Tracks:

1. Fioriture

2. DUO

3. Trope

Aisling Agnew, flute and bass flute

Sarah Watts, clarinet and bass clarinet

Recording and mastering by Cormac O'Kane at RedBox Recording Studios in Belfast.

This project was made possible by a generous grant from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland.

Each composition in this trio of compositions explores a different, specific sound synthesis technique: "gap" explores modal synthesis using IRCAM’s Modalys programme; "edge" deals with aspects of granular synthesis using SuperCollider; and "line" focuses on phase vocoding, again using SuperCollider.

These tracks are stereo realisations of the original multichannel works which were composed specifically to be heard on multichannel systems: gap and edge are four-channel works; line is an eight- channel work. Please contact me for the separate mono files if you wish to perform any of the works on a multichannel system.
