BIT BY BIT, CELL BY CELL
Yoav GAL & YAEL KANAREK
- Ref. XG021G
- INNOVA, 2006.
"Taking his cue from the hyperlinked, hyperreal digital landscapes of Yael Kanarek's WorldofAwe, Yoav Gal constructs 11 sonic typographies from an old Atari 800XL, the voice of soprano Sarah Rivkins, and some alert sounds borrowed from Apple. Repeating layers of samples are deposited on top of one another until out of the cumulative weight are forced verdant valleys and hard mountain ranges. The texture is at once enveloping water and resistant granite. Intended originally for choreography - a sample video is included on this enhanced CD - it is effective, music of physical effect demanding a physical response. Gal's compositional technique borrows much from medieval polyphony: vocal samples stretched inside the Atari across an inhuman tessitura create possibilities for refined mensural canons, as well as a curious human-nonhuman chorus effect that can be melody, accompaniment and sonic environment all at once. It is in this world that the Traveller of WoA finds herself in pursuit of an elusive treasure. Her journal narrates her experiences in this mysterious world; she also uses it to set down letters to an anonymous and absent lover." www.innova.mu
