Latent Sonorities
Announcement: we have a new project in the works⚒️
Helmed by @memeshift , Taïca Replansky and @_jan_k_ we’ll be working with @morphine_records_raum to develop ✨Berlin’s first, locally-made open-source sample pack of Javanese gamelan instruments✨.
This pack will be made available to researchers, sound artists and electronic musicians interested in not just the samples, but also their tuning temperaments to be used in a wide range of #DAWs #synthesizers, samplers and contexts.
Deep gratitude to @sastraswara for their transcultural Javanese wisdom and Fingerspitzengefühl. We are also utterly honored to have @khyamallami join for their meticulous knowledge of temperament and commitment to common tonalities across our musics🖤 Terimah kasih Bu Birgit at @rbi.berlin for managing the formalities of loaning us these incredible instruments too.
In September, we’ll be inviting 4 more artists to unlock the latent sonorities of this new sonic archive in two nights of live, improvised music.
We have begun recording and will be sharing more information soon, including other artists involved…
