William Fields - Fictions - continuing to push the boundaries of generative music, making it sound both introspective and playful

William Fields, the electronic musician working in areas of algorithmic composition and improvisation, makes his debut on GOTO with “Fictions”. Continuing a slew of releases across labels such as Superpang, Tokinogake and Conditional, “Fictions” is a perfect slice of Fields’ computer music – never robotic, constantly shifting and, at times, straight up jazzy. Fields is keen to state that these pieces are performed, with several of the tracks taken directly from public live appearances. Nevertheless, each composition retains structure and familiarity, both somewhat rarities in the majority of music made via similar processes. The eight tracks here display a wide range of aesthetic approaches, however, ranging from the raucous, freeform “Febih” through the computer jazz of “Obu” to the more luscious atmospheres of “Athal” and “Ifotux”. Fields has been working in electronic music since 1998, performing regularly between the United States and Canada. A frequent collaborator, his work has received high praise from peers internationally. For several years, Fields has developed his own music software, “FieldsOS”, from which the majority of his output is produced. A particular highlight in the construction of “FieldsOS” was a weekly spot on Resonance Extra in 2019, where the system generated an hour of algorithmic music each week, broadcast without any edits. As time progresses, so does Fields’ “music system,” with “Fictions” exhibiting some of his most organic machine-music to date. May William Fields guide you through his world of musical spaces and systems. Performed and mixed by William Fields. Mastered for compact disc by Finlay Shakespeare. Artwork by Meggie Wood.

Himera esittää: John McCowen

Nykytaidetila Kutomo la 27.5.2023 Klo. 18:00 10/5€

Himeran toukokuisessa konsertissa Nykytaidetila Kutomolla John McCowen esittää soolotöitään kontrabassoklarinetille vuonna 2022 ilmestyneeltä levyltään Models of Duration. Keskiössä ovat soittimen mahdollisuudet polyfonian tuottajana. Käsittelemällä tarkasti klarinetin äänten kirjoa syntyy lieriön luonnollisten yläsävelten kieli. Musiikissa on monia itsekseen liikkuvia horisontteja, jotka yksi akustinen äänilähde saa aikaan. Mikrofonien tarkan sijoittelun avulla kuuntelija tuodaan soittimen sisään, ääntä ei tuoteta elektronisesti.

John McCowen on säveltäjä ja klarinetisti, joka keskittyy laajentamaan kontrabassoklarinetin ja muiden soitinten mahdollisuuksia. The New Yorker kuvaili hänen työtään äänen tutkimiseksi mikroskoopin avulla. McCowenin soittotapa syleilee droneja, erotusääniä ja yläsäveliä, hän puristaa yhdestä akustisesta äänilähteestä ulos sen sävellyksellisiä mahdollisuuksia. McCowen asuu tällä hetkellä Reykjavikissa, missä hän opettaa improvisaatiota Islannin taideyliopistolla.

ENG

In Himera’s May concert at Contemporary Art Space Kutomo John McCowen performs works for solo contrabass clarinet from his 2022 album Models of Duration. These works showcase the contrabass clarinet as a polyphonic instrument. By finessing the instrument’s sonic spectrum, a language based in the natural harmonics of a cylinder is developed. Put simply, the music features multiple, independent moving lines from one acoustic sound source. With specific microphone placement, the listener is brought inside the instrument. There are no electronically generated sounds. This is acoustic music.

John McCowen is a composer and clarinetist focused on extending the possibilities of the contrabass clarinet and other instruments. His work has been described by The New Yorker as the sonic equivalent of microscopic life viewed on a slide. McCowen’s multiphonic approach embraces drones, difference tones, and beating harmonics as a means to extrude the compositional potential within a single, acoustic sound source. Documents of this practice have been released by International Anthem, Edition Wandelweiser, Astral Spirits/Monofonus Press, Dinzu Artefacts, Cairn Desk, SUPERPANG, and others. He currently resides in Reykjavík, Iceland where he teaches improvisation at the Iceland University of the Arts.

On the decks

Superpang is one of the more interesting labels that appeared on Bandcamp during the pandemic. It quickly became a favorite and something to look forward to with each new release.

This week, let's listen to a couple recent favorites:

Beautiful and captivating droney material made by this heretofore unknown to me percussionist and composer Sébastien Forrester. Noted as:

A reverie on Aveyron, an homage to the bourrée of the elders

Sébastien Forrester - Occitanian tambour, metal percussion, tambourine, FM pipes, synthesizer Gabriel Delfour - additional hurdy-gurdy Gaston Vialard - additional cabrette bagpipe

A delightful new recording by Greg Davis and someone unknown to me previously, E. Jason Gibbs. This one is a delicate interplay between the two sound artists/musicians, defining their own language through minimalist sounds.

William Fields - quube

The limits of control. Turning the idea of 'limit' on its head - taking it as a generative, rather than a destructive approach. A dream that - if impossible to reach in human societies - has its natural space in algorithmic artistic practices. Here, paths can be created, drawn and followed on the borders of control - lines of code, functions, variables. William Fields' latest EP, quube - to appear in April 2024 on SØVN Records - traces pathways through this dream in four pieces that were recorded with the attitude of a dancer rather than that of a composer: following and constantly reinterpreting the performative flow. The music in quube, drawing from a relatively restricted palette of simple waves and minimal processing, is often exciting - conveying an urgency similar to the one which is felt in a free improv concert. It is not surprising, then, to learn that the four pieces were recorded as a live take, with no editing or overdubs. The flow of sounds becomes almost playful in its enthusiastic impatience, eager to cross the limits of control only to bounce back for another unexpected dance step. William Fields is an electronic musician from Philadelphia, USA, working from 30 years at the intersection between algorithmic composition and improvisation. His music has been described by the legendary Richard Devine as “some of the most mind-blowing algorithmically generated music I'd ever heard” and has been published by - among others - SUPERPANG, tokinogake, EVEL, 3OP.
