Join Extensions’ initial sounds were created using several methods of digital synthesis, the results often subjected to further abstractions within the computer. 

Parts of the work were generated from chaotic and improvised operations; at other points absolute compositional choices were made to realign or derail the compositional flow.

These methods can be seen to represent the macro and micro approach to the works overall design. Micro composition and synthesis informing the macro structures which are themselves subjected to further distortions on both micro and macro levels, leading to continuous cycles of transformation.

Join Extensions catalogues and illustrates specific stages in the development and abstraction of these forms. The sections which were committed to disc represent the ongoing process of perpetual configuration, disfiguration and reconfiguration.

Belsona Parallax Mix created for Thomas Bey William Bailey’s Belsona Academy podcast series, radical electronic sound for your threshold existence…

-

This week on the Belsona Academy, Lee Gamble of the CYRK collective presents an exclusive mega-mix shaped from a dazzling array of computer music techniques – a veritable funhouse of timbre and spectral dynamics, and not a factory preset in sight. As a test run for his upcoming Entr’acte CD ‘Join Extensions’, this piece shows promise for that disc to continue the exciting trend of 21st century computer music and digital synthesis: that is to say, music which has escaped from its ivory tower imprisonment and is now free once again to act as a physical AND intellectual force.

other contributing artists to the series include – Gen Ken Montgomery, EVOL, Francisco Lopez, Utah Kawasaki, AUBE, Stockholm Art Scene, Michael Esposito, Maja Ratkje, Seth Nehil, Kozo Inada, The Haters….
