about

"Pulsing, fizzing, skipping, scratching, screaming, dying ... teems with emotionally charged sonic language." — Jordan Adams, SevenDaysVT

Arousing // Fenestration is a two movement improvisation for mixer created for Waking Windows 2018 in Winooski, VT.

Artist's Note:
The technique of no-input mixing brings with it a sense of danger. The sounds are never fully under my control. My influence is constrained; my tools are imprecise, their effect delayed.

The sense of premonition must be increased. Tones hidden, building beneath the surface texture can erupt quickly and, once erupting, are difficult to tame.

Following the shifting patterns across the entire spectrum is exhausting. The distinction of "rhythm" and "pitch" fades, leaving only the physicality of sound flowing in all directions.

Pillars
by Tyshawn Sorey

supported by 4 fans who also own “Arousing // Fenestration”

Total mastery of patience, time, and drama create a constantly engaging journey that never gets tiresome or same-y: in fact the harder you listen the better it gets! Somehow Sorey et al. find a way to combine the deep listening and spontaneous interaction of the best jazz with the sense of every tone and sound being worth a universe of listening, which could be equally from Cage and Feldman or the accompaniment to an ancient ritual. The recording/engineering is absolutely perfect as well. Giles
