about

Reciprocess is about collaborating!
A series featuring the work(s) of two or more sound-designers and documenting the process of musical reciprocality between them and this is our sixth entry.

This work is called A1-C8, composed by Martin Eriksson.
A1-C8 consists of five parts and was produced at Elektronmusikstudion in Stockholm in 2022.

Martin Eriksson is an architect working in many different fields. He is also a composer connected to EMS.

The main idea is to create music in dialogue. Starting with graphic notations that were made on the fly title pages of Peter Englunds novel Onda nätters drömmar on a long and rough bus journey from Stockholm to Berlin. It is three pages A, B, C. Each paper is divided inte 8 sections, hence A1-C8.a

These notations were transcribed by musicians My Hellgren, cello and Håkan Strandhag, trumpet who have collaborated with Martin Eriksson in earlier projects. My is often seen in contemporary chamber music projects in Sweden and internationally. Håkan and Martin have made music together for long time in the band Överklassen.

The acoustics were manipulated by a modular that mainly consists of three Mutable Instruments Clouds and a Serge Touch Activated Keyboard Sequencer that locks and unlocks the clouds. Following Pierre Schaeffer and other early electro acoustic pioneers, the electronics are used as tools to reinforce the acoustic instruments. Making them do things they cannot do on their own. Bringing out their true or hidden tones.

In this work we wanted to make something that is not conceptual, but the opposite. Perhaps it could be called perceptual (a term originally used by composer Daniel M. Karlsson). A process that resembles a conversation. That allows itself to be winding. You start in the garden and (like Jorge Luis Borges) follow a path that forks and forks until you find yourself deep in the forest. The path is gone since long but on the other hand you experience something completely unforeseen.

To be conceptual when creating has a lot of advantages of course. Especially when working on comission. It gives the clients a chance to know what they are getting before the work is done.

But when trying to make something that did not exist before it is counter productive.
In A1-C8 we are trying to make something that exists on it's own, by it's own rules and because of itself. Something that haven't been before.

What Remains
by Steve Roach

supported by 12 fans who also own “Modulisme Session 099”

If I wanted to point someone to Steve Roach's music, I'd start them here. This record spans some of Roach's signature styles, like the percolating synths in "Currents of Compassion", the dreamy abstraction of "Prometheus Passage", the tribal rhythms of "The Gone Place", and the elegiac majesty of "What Remains". It's stunning all around and guaranteed to make any day better. fyeahmetal
