about

Jonathan: I visited Patrick and worked on two pieces of music while I was there. The first was an attempt to harness a technique Steve Peters uses for his Chamber Music series (stevepeters.bandcamp.com/album/chamber-music ) – recording an empty space and then processing the recording to isolate and emphasise particular narrow bands of frequencies. A bit like sifting flour through a sieve with only a few unblocked holes. For this purpose I made a recording in the cellar of Patrick’s house. For the second piece of music, which was already partly finished, I wanted to add some bell sounds. Patrick had a variety of metal bowls and I discovered three that seemed to fit well with the tuning of the piece. I returned to the cellar and recorded these bells while listening to the partly finished piece on headphones. Then I had the idea of combining the two cellar recordings. With help from Patrick and Hitoshi Kojo I shifted the narrow bands of frequencies in the first piece so that they sounded more consonant with the bells I had recorded for the second piece. I liked the result and offered a section of it (entitled ‘Chamber Perruel’) to Patrick for framework250.

Ben: my recording was made on residence in upstate new york at a place called Experimental Television Center. what you hear are binaural mic’s clipped to my ankles as i walk slowly around the studio room.

Patrick: jonathan and ben submitted their two recordings separately, but in the first framework250 show i ended up mixing the two together. i actually quite like to two recordings together; both quite minimal, but with very different qualities that seem to compliment one another. i proposed to ben and jonathan that a mixed version be used for the cd release and they agreed, asking me to do the final mix. really, i did very little to it – the recordings were approximately the same length, and i left the levels of each as they were. this is the outcome.
