Brandtsegg devised a set of new musical instruments where finger-mounted piezo contact pickups are used with transducers on vibrating plate-like objects (metals, plastics, wood, ceramics, concrete, glass, bioplastics and even human bones in a living body) to explore intimate resonances by touch. The performer\u2019s finger acts as a filter in the feedback circuit, and variations in performative gestures (pressure, angle, touching with the nail or the flesh) bring out different potential resonances of the objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These instruments create a chain reaction of deep, low-frequency feedback loops when the sonic vibrations pass through the plate-like objects and allow Brandtsegg to investigate these vibrations. The basic feedback mechanism was kept simple and often Brandtsegg\u2019s voice was added into the feedback loop to create further diversions of textural resonances. This sound-making process offers a new method of embodied sound production and allows close performative control over the expressive nuances of the performative environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brandtsegg recorded a set of seven haunting and quite unsettling drones at the NTNU Music Tech in Trondheim, where he is a professor of music technology. He was assisted by the \u00abexternal ear\u00bb of Maja S.K. Ratkje, and discovered weird and detailed sonic universes within the vibrating chain of feedback, some are even suggesting friendly rhythmic alien transmissions and twisted yet subtle melodic veins, and the last one \u00abMoebius Guessthetics\u00bb offers a deep and peaceful meditative mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00abPersistent Disequilibrium\u00bb offers an enigmatic and immersive listening experience. <em>Eyal Hareuveni<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>via <a href=\"https:\/\/salt-peanuts.eu\/record\/oyvind-brandtsegg-2\/\">Salt Peanuts<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00abPersistent Disequilibrium\u00bb is a new sound art project of Norwegian experimental composer-scholar-educator \u00d8yvind Brandtsegg.
