001 stasis duo
hammer and tongs
adam sussmann & matthew earle
emptied samplers
improvisation recorded at the
royal derby, melbourne
2nd april 2002
In their live improvisations Adam Sussmann .
and Matthew Earle take metaphorical tongs
to the emptied-out insides of samplers,
twisting sinewaves into thin, piercing
sheets and disintegrating clusters. This
set skirts around the periphery of hearing,
tense atmospheres stretched between high
whines and low power hums. This isn't blank
tinnitus sinecore, though, it's a subtler
construction of delicate broken gestures,
twitches, flecks, gently stretched
noisebursts and the occasional placid,
glassy bleep which has somehow slipped
through intact.
