"A crowded procession of singular figures, images and imaginaries, possible futures "“Figures” is built upon a field recording of a threshold zone where the mountains begin to yield to the plains, and where the river itself is divided since a part of its water is withdrawn into a side channel for hydropower production.The underlying approach draws on Steven Feld's proposition that attentive listening is itself a rigorous form of research. Given time and attention, sound ceases to be the object of study and becomes its instrument, a means by which human, natural, hybrid, and alien figures can be identified within the landscape, and within the constant flow of water. "Isn't culture a constant flux? "Isn't transmission/tradition a constant flow?"The matter is: inquiry of this kind is subjective. Its situatedness is not incidental to Figures: it is its method. My personal geography is deeply intertwined with the river systems of Veneto: I was born on the river Brenta in Bassano del Grappa, I live in Rovigo between the Po and the Adige. In my life a flowing river has always meant home. In youth it was the mountains' presence, and its trails, that shaped me; now it is the plain. But the river is a constant. By the way, what I brought to the field recording of Section 8 is not only a way of listening. I have used a set of different instruments I conceived to make that listening recognizable. "DzigaLoop, a digital tape looper I built on a Bela board and programmed in Pure Data, creates recursive temporal relationships between sonic materials, revealing the silences between gestures and embodying a conception of time as growing and living memory rather than a linear progression. And through DzigaLoop some sounds I have been carrying for a long time appear: the tinkling of small bells, flies, birds, the babble of distant voices, field recordings made at home, 16 years ago. Old personal memories that resurface here in the water."Loscillator, a synthesizer built for the MozziByte platform, contributes sustained oscillating layers that function as an harmonic ground. It is basically something between a multiple drone and a choral slow breath. "Aquadrone, a mobile app I developed in FaustDSP, adds a dimension of submerged, immersive resonance. It is active and somehow disturbing, suddendly disrupting."Within the piece, two further figures surface. A fragment from Bill McKenna's sonorization of Section 1 appears, like a homeless sonic memory traveling downstream with the water, arriving here as something half-familiar and half-strange. "A female voice processed through DzigaLoop, originally taken from Sergio Marchesini's composition for this same Segment 8, in my imagination is an anguana, the water spirit of Alpine and Venetian tradition, neither fully human nor fully other. Me and Sergio, old friends, in this case are two researchers listening to the same stretch of river independently, each on one bank, catching glimpses of each other across the water, listening to singular figures, images and imaginaries, possible futures."Deeply processed underwater piano and celesta sounds complete the procession, dissolving the boundary between acoustic instrument and environmental presence. They are more than a sound. They stand for an attitude, maybe for what Hildegard Westerkamp, in her keynote address to the ISEA 2015 in Vancouver, defined as the “preparedness to meet the unpredictable and unplanned, to welcome the unwelcome”."Section of the river Lech reimagined by Francesco Ganassin. -------Flow is a creative exploration telling the story of a river through the power of sound.

An electronic composition, sounds created using Pure Data.

This track has been extracted from one of a number of unpublished, uncomplicated electronic sequences that I have had on file for some time. It was created using Pure Data. Hopefully, someone will find a use for it. By coincidence, it is already panned toward the left.

An electronic composition created using Pure Data, Audacity and numerous VSTs, etc. I have not stuck exactly to the instructions here. I do not fly often but, if I do, I prefer silence at take-off. There is enough noise and stuff going on without adding to it. This track is rather an impression of what a nervous or edgy passenger might feel before and during take-off.

An electronic composition, textured drone sequence, sounds from various sources including Pure Data and Audacity.

For certain projects I like to combine different or disparate sounds or sequences to create dense textures and maybe I sometimes get carried away. Nevertheless, this composition melds two tracks of this type for even more layers of sound. It was created using various electronic sources or processes including Pure Data.

On this week's episode, Pure Data Centres Group CEO Dame Dawn Childs DBE joins Madeline Sherratt to discuss her entrance into the data centre landscape following an exciting career spanning the Royal Air Force to engineering at London Gatwick Airport, the National Grid, and now Pure.The conversation includes a discussion on Pure's developments in FLAP-D markets, new opportunities following disruptive data centre moratoriums and the need for developers to become “power generation people” by interweaving renewables into their plans, as well as ongoing cost and regulatory constraints across Europe.Childs also discusses the race against the Middle East as a frontrunner, and how fraught EU regulation allows developers there to “steal a bit of a march”. She also addresses the need for clarity on what “Sovereign AI” means and suggests that developers are on tenterhooks about the next UK Government location announcement for another AI Growth Zone.NPM is a leading data, intelligence & events company providing business development led coverage of the US & European power, storage & data center markets for the development, finance, M&A and corporate community.Download our mobile app.

Oblique Strategies is not something I have ever heard of and was interested to see what it is. Having had a fairly superficial look, I am not sure if I have missed very much. I came across an alphabetical list of quotes and selected a couple of contiguous ones more or less at random: 'Imagine the music as a moving chain or caterpillar' and 'Imagine the music as a set of disconnected events'. The resulting track is an electronic composition which started with a sequence of sounds created using Pure Data, then modifying and expanding them by the use of selected filters and additions.
