Permeability, which is the physicality of silence itself, consists of the impossibility of saying anything about its content. Sounds can approach this permeability, but cannot achieve it. Sounds always occur as a formation or a shaping. They come into being by crossing a border which divides them from all others. At this border, everything formed becomes particular. Silence does not know this border. There is no silence through production. Silence is just there, where no sound is.
[…]
Silence can also be present in the sounds. In order to have silence in sounds, one must let go of everything which gets in the way of this silence. This sound is a sound without the idea of what it can mean or how it should be used. This sound achieves a hint of permeability, which otherwise belongs only to silence. This sound is the Da-sein (being there) of sound. Its presence and charisma make themselves felt in the composition.
Silence requires one decision: sound or no sound. Sound requires a great many more decisions. These shape the sound and give it its quality, feeling and its content. Thus silence,in its comprehensive, monolithic presence always stands as one against an infinite number of sounds or sound forms. Both stamp time and space, in that they come into appearance, in an existential sense. Together they comprise the entire complexity of life.
excerpt from “The Architecture of Silence”, Jürg Frey, 1998
Cem Güney & Ephraim Wegner will perform their 8-Channel composition on
the 11th of June at the Festival for Applied Acoustics, which is to take place
at the UFA Palast, Hohenzollernring, Köln-Germany.
Cronica celebrates their 50th release with L, a compilation pairing 18 Cronica artists into collaborations. This results in 9 new compositions, exploring various facets of the label’s approach to hazy, electro-acoustic sound art.
While it’s difficult to pin Cronica down to a distinct sound, the artists here chiefly work in drones, in which field recording plays a significant part. And the quality is high throughout, from the motorised whine and static pops of Gilles Aubry and Paulo Raposo’s ‘Forms of Suspension’ through to the floor-shaking low-end rumble of Pure and Duran Vazquez’ aptly titled ‘Stoorm’.. Marc Behrens and Cem Guney employ an industrial grind, dappled in random clicks and glitch in ‘Mouth to Mouse’. Ran Slavin and Vitor Joaquim’s ‘Voices Over Water’ is predictably aquatic, waves of bass lapping against reverberant clanging and submerged voices.
Both Janek Schaeffer and Stephan Mathieu’s collaborations, with Enrico Coniglio and Piotr Kurek respectively, explore sounds familiar from their own collaboration Hidden Name, all rich, billowing synthetic drones, but they’re just out-blissed by bucolic closer ‘Reve General’ by The Beautiful Schizophrenic and Tu’M. Best of all though is Lawrence English and Stephen Vitiello’s ‘Circles of Twine’, a gorgeous evocation of a sub-tropical setting, sparse piano laid over the chirrup of birds and insects, cloaked in a dank forest glow. All great tracks. Joshua Meggitt
