I MUST HEAR THIS IN HI FI!!! so sick!!! mort has gotten even better!! Ive got the original on DVD but damn. wheres the buchla tho????
ReplyDeletesounds like pitch shifting
ReplyDeletei saw this a week back great stuff oh mighty Morty
To his credit, Mr. Subotnick remained a Buchla man well into the era when all other academic types had jumped on the computer bandwagon.
ReplyDeleteUntil the dark times. Until the Yamaha endorsement deal in the Eighties.
i would like to apologize for the crappy audio quality. it was the best my little camera could muster. i am looking forward to a proper recording/video of the event. the sound was circulating through at least an 8-speaker surround space and was indescribably wicked, realtime morphing/stretching of recorded percussion (water glasses) and voice. it was (for me) a unique experience.
ReplyDeleteWas this a "one off" kind of thing or will it be touring?
ReplyDeleteThis was a really good show. The sound system at RML is really great. Mort & Company were really good, despite the "I'm just checking my email" look of it at times. It was a little strange to hear the distinctive low pass gate sound emanating from a laptop. I'm probably biased, but I think that the laptop + Buchla box approach is more interesting audially (is that even a word?) and visually.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of visuals, no one has mentioned Sue Costabile's graphics which were a really interesting combination of practicals and (I assume) Jitter.
I think there were a couple other Until Spring Revisited performances, but I hesitate to call it a tour.
"Was this a "one off" kind of thing or will it be touring"
ReplyDeleteI saw him do something like this with Until Spring at Redcat a couple of years ago, in which he mixed in bits and pieces of both US and Sidewinder. It was him alone making the sound, with Tony Martin doing real-time computer sculptures. It was a great show.
Tony Martin was the visual artist Mort worked with back in the Electric Circus days...he did the image for the original cover of SIlver Apples.
As a side note, Mort's premiering a piano and ghost electronics piece written for Vickie Ray (who played piano on Barry Schrader's 'Ravel') on May 1 at the Zipper Auditorium in Pasadena. It's entitled 'The Other Piano" ~ a tribute to a yet another work called "Piano Piece" written by his good friend, composer Morton Feldman, who used to refer to Subotnick as 'the other Mort'.
