Ōtone - performance for the month of contemporary music [ygm09] by ygam published on 2019-11-15T07:44:09Z ygam presents a recording of Ōtone’s (@otonenoto) performance for the month of contemporary music at ACUD MACHT NEU (Berlin, Sept. 2019) - an improvisation on two metallic instruments of the 'Tetsu' series and field recordings. The work of Ōtone (Pablo Diserens’ other moniker) is characterised by an ongoing investigation of abstract industrial soundscapes. In 2017, they started a collection/series of self-made metallic objects called 'Tetsu' that they use as compositional tools and performative instruments. On stage, Ōtone manipulates these instruments and blends them with material from their field recordings archive. Their timbers exploration plays with the listeners’ acoustic memory to create new sonic combinations and associations until another landscape emerges. In this recorded performance, Ōtone improvises on 'Tetsu I' and 'Tetsu III', elaborating slowly evolving percussive accumulations and wind-instrument-like frictions, while a drone made out of recordings of resonating metal bars gradually ascends. Subtle recordings of birds, water and sea urchins also appear throughout the performance giving an organic touch to the metallic soundscape at play. Ōtone dedicates this performance to Eliane Radigue. acud macht neu berlin - sept. 2019 tapes & digital: bit.ly/ygm009_bandcamp ygm009 | ygam 2019 mastered by mathieu bonnafous artwork: "Ōtone live set up at punctum (prague) june 2019" by pablo diserens Genre Electroacoustic Comment by Female Band this work is incredible! 2020-07-02T00:56:15Z Comment by Kanthor :) 2020-02-06T10:32:50Z Comment by DJ_WASH-8aer Horror with in!!! 2019-12-26T12:02:47Z Comment by 𝐌𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐍 really pretty 2019-12-06T15:35:11Z Comment by Larbjo slightly unsettling atmosphere – in a very positive way, delicate details and textures 2019-11-17T14:32:06Z
