"To describe RAINFOREST is completely impossible. Like the real rainforest, it has too many moving parts. To describe how it works is only a little less difficult. To hear it in operation, however, is an unforgettable experience."

"Perhaps think about it more as sonority, sound. And then come back to the notion that since it is happening in time it is going to be linear. If it is linear it must be melodic, in that sense. I think that is all I'd add. Also I think that the mind disconnects so that you hear one sound then there's a pause then you hear another one, and if it is very difficult to hear that one, forget it, then hear the next one." - Christian Wolff www.paristransatlantic.com...

Observations:

↳ Song: "On The Other Ocean" by "David Behrman"
"Originally released on Lovely Music in 1978. David Behrman's On The Other Ocean is an improvisation by Maggi Payne and Arthur Stidfole centered around six pitches which, when they are played, activate electronic pitch-sensing circuits connected to the "interrupt" line and input ports of a microcomputer, Kim-1. The microcomputer can sense the order and timing in which the six pitches are played and can react by sending harmony-changing messages to two handmade music synthesizers. The relationship between the two musicians and the computer is an interactive one, with the computer changing the electronically-produced harmonies in response to what the musicians play, and the musicians influenced in their improvising by what the computer does." davidbehrmanlovely.bandcamp.com...

"This audio documentation of my interactive computer music work Rainbow Family is taken from three days of live performances that took place in May of 1984 at the Salle de Projection of the Institut de Recherche et de Coordination Acoustique/Musique (IRCAM). The performances are the culmination of two years of sustained research and creative work in fulfillment of an IRCAM commission."

“Curran weaves electronic technology, an occasional acoustic instrument, voices and musique concrète (“found” music) into a multi-hued tapestry of sound. He holds these dissimilar elements together with a compelling subliminal musical consciousness; the listener never feels that Curran is deliberately being clever, or that he is out to impress, shock or self-consciously ‘expand the musical language.’

Curran’s eclecticism is not willful; his sounds are there because they fit, and they convey a subtle and ingratiating sense of mysticism. These challenging, multi-faceted compositions manage, through their very catholicity, to synthesize and perfect a striking new musical syntax uniquely Curran’s own.”

This show hit the spot. Just what the doctor ordered. And I had no idea Sonic Youth had ever done things like this. Thanks David!
