neuroethology
Leave a reply
I’ve received funding from the Canada Council for the Arts that involves listening to the sounds of insects that have been recorded in the Neuroethology Lab at Carleton University in Ottawa. This Lab is used to study and record the acoustics of insects, and focuses on the acoustics of caterpillars, bark beetles, and butterfly hearing.
0.1 GHz – 2.5 GHz
Sounds collected from the Surrey Art Gallery in 2012 were used in a performance at the Surrey Art Gallery Sound Symposium, Destroy Vancouver, and The Klinker at noise=noise, London, UK. The performance involves using a radio transmitter to transmit the sounds to several radios around the audience, and using the sound system at the venue primarily for low frequencies. I’m interested in touring this and looking for dates in the near future.

signal of noise
Excerpts from my below the surface soundwalk with John Brennan and prOphecy sun are heard in this Ideas documentary on CBC Radio.
Once long past, listening gave clues for survival. Now we listen unconsciously, blocking noise and tuning in to what we want to hear. Yet the unwanted sounds we filter out tell us a lot about our environment and our lives. Broadcaster Teresa Goff listens for the messages in our walls of sound.

Sparse improvisations on a virtual Fender Rhodes, sampled live and arranged using custom-built generative music software. Dreamy and disorientating, if all goes to plan.
loscil | www.loscil.ca
This incarnation of Scott Morgan’s loscil project features remixes of past works and premiers of new creations with live, improvised accompaniment by long time collaborator, Jason Zumpano on Rhodes piano. With a penchant for slow moving, low level, nearly static compositions, loscil carves out a soundtrack for hidden worlds and creates a listening space dually suited to deep listening or purely subconscious absorption.

Kristen’s live performance will involve using his voice and small percussive instruments manipulated with looping, delay, pitch and filtering pedals, to create a kind of psychedelic wallpaper, as background music for conversation at the bar.
