IO/31 Kelly Davis: Diary of a Parachutist
------------------------------------------------------
What does parachuting sound like? Presumably you will not find the 
answer in Kelly Davis' "Diary of a Parachutist", but you will listen 
to a delicate and evocative work of microsound melting 
field-recordings, synthesized drones and other sources into a complex 
"story told thru sound". Regular visitors to INDEXOF/ already know 
the first three episodes of this cycle; now it is downloadable in 
full length.
Kelly Davis is an american sound artist currently based in London. 
His activity ranges from concerts, installations and performances to 
sound for film and video works. Sonic collaborations with mzweig & 
kristen_ [kmh], Antoine Vehaverbeke & Mark Roberts [pistorasia / x - 
+], Minoru Sato [PoD] and others. Together with norwegian video 
artist HC Gilje he formed BLIND, an audiovisual performance group.

[ Total playing time: 39' 38'' ]

IO/30 chladni: bleisatz
------------------------------------------------------
"Bleisatz" is the german term for the obsolete technology of 
hot-metal typesetting. As someone described it, in former times  
"...the typesetting/printing shop was characterized by noise, toxic 
fumes, and machine grease..."
German sound artist and founder of INDEXOF/, chladni, gathered five 
tracks around the "bleisatz" metaphor. Proceeding from purely digital 
source material, basic waveforms are manipulated until they reach the 
point when references to concrete states and processes seem to 
emerge. In a rather abstract way, "bleisatz" evokes the atmosphere of 
those outdated typesetting/printing shops which are bearing greater 
resemblances to an alchemistic laboratory than to a 
desktop-publishing office.

[ Total playing time: 20' 07'' ]
