about

Three works of friction, involving metal, wood, skin, water and air.

Before electronics, musical sound was always produced by means of the physical friction of a solid or a gas (air or breath) against some other object. These electronic works also center upon frictional elements, in this case the motion of the sensitive end of a microphone moved directly across various surfaces. In addition, a number of field recordings of various winds and running waters are included, often as soundings of empty spaces, such as caves, ruins, churches, and remote mountain monasteries in Georgia and Armenia. For additional texture, radio static is also used.

Included as a bonus track is an older filecast [ nula.cc/56831 ocean of steel ], made from recordings of steel streetcar wheels straining against tight rail curves at Berlin’s Alexanderplatz.

--

„Trilogy was born from the skilled layering of field recordings and sounds deriving from microphonic frictions. You will be surprised at how little “friction” there is in the final outcome as one plunges within its powerful currents. The compound is in fact distinguished by assorted gradations of psychoacoustic significance inside contexts of gradual changes of state. … The main requisite for this variety of sonic framework is balance, and nula.cc does not need any lesson in that regard. The exact protraction of certain pitches, the phantoms of noises subsequently nurtured by intuition, the absence of ‘artistic’ fraudulence.“ – Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes.
