Basaur

Music Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

• Year: 2016

Abstract:

Program notes: Basaur is a structured improvisation for software, microphones, and objects, performed through a multichannel sound system. Using simple, readymade household devices as the primary sound source, Basaur unfolds as a guided exploration of the small mechanical drones and noises that occupy the edges of our quotidian sonic awareness. Using both pre-recorded and live-performed sound sources, textures are layered and connected, building to a richly detailed environment of active sounds -- background becomes foreground, and the everyday annoyances of modern convenience take on a full-throated presence that is by turns lyrical and menacing.
