Method
I like taking captures from the work process and share the result, lately I rely on basic statement as that the “re” idea “could fully unfold nowadays - you have access to already existing music and you can use it as source-database to be recontextualized”. In this work process I rely on old techniques of sound manipulation - taking a whole, butchering it, messing its layers, up/down sampling, granulation. They are result of real time preprocessing already existing music with “Ei” - kind of soundtoy I developed (as a stand alone win application and as PD patch to be platform independent and easy updateable ). Start playing with “Ei” - browsing folders for mp3 files, pass through the loaded file, dis or re ordering it, and thus createing something new out of it… I am not aware of the legal issue, and do not relate nor emphasize on that at all. Thus they are not plunderphony, sample abuse or collages, rather they are replicas and recontextualization. Often such works are perceived as sarcasms, but you will find out it is not necessary so.
