Jin Sangtae & Park Seungjun - 5 Modules IV



The fourth episode in this 'five modules' series from the Manual label offers an interaction between Jin Sangtae (laptop, mobile phone, radio) and Park Seungjun (feedback with electric light, broken CD player and radio).
The devices are managed to produce a sound that it’s difficult to identify as noise.
More structured the first two tracks, with several different noisy impulses, a little more quiet the third, with continuous sine tones and, finally, the fourth track based on low frequencies and subtle signals.

Biota - Half A True Day


"As the title suggests, in this new work a portion of a cycle – a repeating segment of time – is explored. We employed repeating and overlapping motifs of different lengths, allowing their staggered interaction to produce varying degrees of harmonization, dissonance, masking and reinforcement.
Unpredictability of outcome was furthered by electronic processing – both manual and automated, random and predetermined -- and by the appearance, taken -out of context, -of unrelated passages taken from earlier projects. Realtime performers had to interact with this instability as they constructed their contributions, and later as they gave form to the final composition.
Although there are elements of chance at work in the process, the eventual architecture is intentional, and carefully worked. Mixing was done by hand, and without the aid of computers, then the composition was assembled and integrated digitally."
William Sharp, Biota.

Six years have passed since “Invisible Map”, six years of work to get to this new album that give us back Biota’s sound/art.
Passed through a complex elaboration and multiple processing phases, “Half a true day” is the product of an intense and conscious preparation, so it requires an attentive listening skill.
The result won’t fail our expectations: we haven't waited this return in vain.
