::Films::

For those of you who are acoustically and visually
curious about the working methods, creative processes
and philosophies in the creation of musique concrete
composition and improvisation, you are welcome to join
us for an evening of educational screenings - Cinema
for the Ears and Azioni - details following this
paragraph.

My Cinema for the Ears
The musique concrète of Francis Dhomont and Paul Lansky
A Film by Uli Aumüller, 59 mins, 2002

"The work of the Franco-Canadian composer Francis
Dhomont, pupil of Pierre Schaeffer, the legendary
founder of musique concrète, is at the centre of this
staged documentary movie. The film is about how to
make music with sounds, microphone, tape and computer.
Dhomont was commissioned to compose a new, another
“Spring” for this film, based on the poem by Antonio
Vivaldi from his composition "The Four Seasons:
Spring" using the sounds mentioned by Vivaldi, bird
song for example, the splashing of a stream, the
murmur of the wind, rolling thunder or a dog barking."

"Dhomont records these sounds (on location in Canada)
in sequences which sometimes quote Jacques Tati and
reprocesses them in his studio, altering and
recombining them... He reflects upon the idea that
composing musique concrète is very similar to the work
of a film director. Rewinding, starting again,
cutting, mixing and changing, processing the speed,
the colours, the notes. Debussy also talked about
creating pictures."

"The film plays a kind of game: To approach a noise
microscopically with the microphone changes the form
of his perception. The noise gets more abstract and
because of that actually more musical. The same is
true of pictures. The closer a camera approaches an
object, the more abstract it becomes: No longer one
concrete picture, but a composition of colours,
shapes, structures, textures. The object in question
is a river, a stream, heard and seen from several
perspectives, composed in ever closer perspectives,
cubist, so to speak, until the perception changes into
pure abstraction and then back again into its original
concrete form. The aesthetic of musique concrète is
translated back into a possible language of this
film."

"A central theme of the film is perception; perception
of the visual and the acoustic and how they refer to
each other, how one can dissolve these contexts and
put them together again in a new way; how the context,
i.e. the composition, focuses perception."

"Francis Dhomont meets Paul Lansky, a composer from
Princeton, USA. They cross a bridge while talking
about whether urban sounds can be used in composition.
As with the water of the river, the bridge is also
broken down into its acoustic and visual components, a
kind of homage to Walter Ruttmann, but again
completely different. The topic here, once again, is
cubist dismantling and rejoining, the production of
imaginary rooms."

"The conversation continues in Dhomont’s kitchen and
focuses on the tinkling of cups - whether one must
recognise a sound’s origin in electro-acoustic music.
Does the physical gesture suffice or must the sound
more or less proclaim its origin? One says "yes", the
other says "no", and a quarrel almost arises. There
are, indeed, different schools of thought among
composers who work with sounds."



Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza - Azioni III
A film by Theo Gallehr, 46 mins, 1967

"The dvd presents some of the most compelling
improvisations of this extraordinary improv group
active in the '60s and featuring such names as Ennio
Morricone, Ivan Vandor, Roland Kayn, Franco
Evangelisti, Walter Branchi, Mario Bertoncini and John
Heineman. Spanning from free-jazz to total abstract
noise and wild electronic sounds, the enclosed video
DVD, shot in a stunning black and white, is a unique
document that captures the rehearsal of the thrilling
concert that the group gave in Rome in 1967."

"Il Gruppo was a brilliant and prolific composer's
collective exploring extended techniques and new sound
sources through the medium of improvisation. Although
very much a product of its time, their music remains
timeless. They were instrumental in founding a radical
tradition of western musical improvisation that owed
little or nothing to anybody and created some of the
strangest music ever made. They were utterly unique."

new releases by lam'i-nal records

KlangMutationen - Session Zero [L002] CDR

"Klangmutationen is obviously a German word -- Teutonic flatulence at its best. But it could also mean, admittedly of a strange logic (or illogic), a bunch of devilishly handsome Ah Bengs from Klang interested in "Mutationen" (that is Hokkien for metamorphosis Tetsuo or Ultra-man style). If that BS was not helpful at all in convincing you to buy this release, then these references might: Khanate's Capture and Release, Masayoshi Urabe, Kaoru Abe, Alvin Lucier, Masayuki Takayanagi, Naked City's L'eng T'che, the Blue Humans"
-- TOK SAWAN

Ladang Gempak - Soal Kelentong Batu Cheng [L003] CDR

"Ladang Gempak is an artifact of strange and caustic Malaysiana. It's like taking a customary dump on a caked shit-stained toilet bowl, of every petrol station stop between Penang and Singapore, left unflushed for the gazillionth time. You know you have to but you don't want to. Sonically, if you dig the Sightings or the recent output of Whitehouse (but it bears reminding that this LG recording was made in 1998), or the handful of noise acts screaming of punk rock chutzpah, this LG release will be worth every ringgit and sen you give Laminal Records."

FROM KOK SIEW WAI

CALL FOR WORKS: 2 MINUTES SOUND PROJECT 2006
Call for regional sound artists in Malaysia and surrounding areas.
Deadline: Arrived by 31 December 2006
|||| DEADLINE EXTENDED: 31 JANUARY 2007 ||||
Concert: March or April 2007

1. What is the project?

The idea came up when a few of us were talking about art, non-art, god, life and Chinese herbs at the mamak
by SiCKL after a show on a rainy September night ...So we thought,
"What if ... if god gives each of us 2minutes, just 2 minutes, what shall we do?"

Here is the deal: You have 2 minutes, you do whatever you want with SOUND and fill up this 2 minutes.

2. What kind of music?

Do I have to be"experimental"? No! You don't have to! But if you want to, yes!
You can play musical instruments or non-musical instruments; you can reenact the sounds of birds,traffic and people; noise certainly; you can sing abeautiful melody, scream, cry, moan, chant, be silent... You can do the combination of differentsounds/sound-making methods, as long as it is EXACTLY 2 minutes. And you have an idea of what you are doing.

3. We would like you to think about whether or not the thing you do is performative.

It is suggested that you do something that is performative. This is because the outcome of this project will be the release of a CD album with a live concert featuring ALL the participating sound artists. And it is suggested that you don't do electronics because it might be too complicated to set up and to share the power supply where we might have like 20 over artists performing

4. SOLO

You have to participate as a solo artist/performer. No 4-piece band for the 2-minute work, sorry!

5. But I'm not a "musician" ... :(

That is even better! You don't need to be a"musician" to participate in this project! As long as you care to spend your precious 2 minutes of your life in making SOUND, you're in!

6. Project ethics:

Whatever you do with your given 2minutes, you are responsible for it (just like in your life ...) So don't do silly things that you’re goingto regret later! :)

7. Why regional sound artists only?

Not that we’re patriotic or anything. However,because the idea of this project is to have both thealbum AND the live concert as the end product, wefigure it’s more feasible if we limit ourselves toartists in Malaysia and surrounding areas only so thatthey can actually come to perform at the concertwithout much fuss.

8. Submission Format:

Audio CD, file format: AIFF,WAVE.

9. Submission details:

label submission with your
NAME, CONTACT (email and phone), ADDRESS, TITLE, LENGTH, and a SHORT DESCRIPTION of the work.

10. NO Submission fee.

11. Please send in your submission with this SUBMISSION FORM.

Should you have any questions please contact Siew Wai at kokbuffalo[at]yahoo.com
You can send your work to:

Kok Siew Wai

::admission by donation::


::defensive blurb::
The night will be a showcase of two performance-happenings. First, there will be Wayang Lampu, an exploration of shadow, light, and hue with reflections and diffractions on histories and stories by theatre activist Fahmi Fadzil accompanied by Aziz Ali. Proceeding that a proto happening entitled Leave Me Alone encasing Nyoba dancer Caecar Chong and returning installation artist Teoh Shaw Gie (recent work seen in Ka-Si-Pe-Cah) along with musicians from the old Moxuan unit, Yong Yen Sin and Tham Kar Mun.

Caecar Chong
Born, bred and schooled in Malaysia and trained as an architect in Australia, Caecar Chong Chung Yong has chosen to apply his skill and knowledge not conventionally on brickwork and steel structures, but experimentally with different art media and formats. Closely associated with the establishment and direction of Space Spirit Studio, Caecar champions the use of various media across art disciplines as diverse as the visual arts, performing arts and even floral design to express the spirit of space. This grants a new lease of life to the classic ideological maxim that architecture is more than just about building buildings.

Teoh Shaw Gie
Born in Penang (Malaysia) on 1976. Graduated from Accademia di Belle Arte di Firenze (Italy), faculty of Painting. Lives and works in Penang (Malaysia)
出生於1976年,檳城(馬來西亞)。畢業於義大利佛羅倫斯美術高等院校(Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze) 繪畫系。現今在檳城(馬來西亞)生活和工作。

Fahmi Fadzil
Fahmi Fadzil became an active theater maker as a member of Article 19 in Taylor's College, Subang Jaya, Selangor. After leaving for the United States, Fahmi joined Akshen, alongside several ex-members of Article 19. He is now heavily involved in various community arts projects and other programs with Five Arts Centre. Fahmi was last seen in the play by Ivan Heng, Second Link.
