Kompożitur & Artist Interdixxiplinari Gryphon Rue Jinqas Video Għal "Rake's Progress" Minn LP Ġdid '4n_Objx'

Gryphon Rue qed jixtieq is-singlu u video għal "Rake's Progress" mill-LP ġdid tiegħu 4n_Objx - ħarġa kreattiva li hija diffiċli wisq biex tingħad mill-artist irrequjet li aħna smajna l-aħħar darba fuq 2022's A Spirit Appears to a Pair of Lovers. Il-video "Rake's Progress" kien dirett mill-Keren Cytter u fih il-ballerin Nathlie Provosty, li jħares maginetikament il-batuta propulsiva u l-kaos tas-sinkronizzazzjoni skwalcjata tat-tune.

Ara l-video hawn.

Teksturalment komplikati u ritmicament awdaci, il-full-length enigmatiku ta' Gryphon Rue 4n_Objx huwa imbnewwa b'sens profond. Minn drones għajjien –– magħmula minn harmoniums u oscillators –– għal percussion tattili, live u synths pulsin, it-traxx li jkomplu 4n_Objx jgħaddu, jinqatgħu, u jinqatgħu minn kliff għal ridge, circuit għal synapse.

Rue huwa kompożitur, artist interdixxiplinari, u kuratur – u din hija mużika mibnija fuq fascinazzjoni mal-potenzjal mimetiku tas-sounds, “il-ħila tagħhom li jissuġġerixxu azzjoni bioloġika jew avvenimenti molekulari,” jgħid Rue. Din hija mużika li tixhed tafakkur fond, ipersensittività għall-proċessi, għar-relazzjoni, u l-moviment.

Hemm sensiela ta' ħoss ta' cyberpunk hawn, mhux fil-mod nostalgiku, iżda fil-mod li r-romanzi bikrija ta' William Gibson jħalltu l-bijoloġiku u s-sintetiku bħala theddid u sexy bl-istess ħin. Fil-fatt, Rue jgħid, “Jien miġbud lejn mużika li tħallat s-sorsi akustiċi u elettronici, abstrazzjonijiet ta' kull media li jissuġġerixxu komportament creaturely.” Dan il-ħallat jaf jagħmel tafakkur fil-ħidma ta' kontemporanju bħal Marina Herlop iżda għandu x'jaqsam ukoll mal-ħallat organiku-mekkaniku ta' Seefeel Quique.

“Rake's Progress” huwa xena ta 'kaccia li jinżel fil-konsegwenza li hi “Dividend.” Hemm sens ta 'gravità f'din il-mużika. “World's Fastest Talking Man” jhedded li –– u mbagħad jagħmel –– jibqa 'fil-passaġġi stabbli li jixbaħu lil Negativland jew Terry Riley. 4n_Objx huwa sintetiku fil-komplissità. Jagħmel grafts u jqarib; huwa mużika tal-iskola –– jekk bil-muviment, nistgħu niddeskrivu l-muviment tal-elettriku madwar il-moħħ, fireflies madwar il-lejl, jew flwidu madwar il-ġisem. Roughly ħnejja field recordings jisparaw madwar kanali ta 'sound finement polished madwar 4n_Objx, kollha mgħoddija flimkien minn sens wild iżda raffinat ta 'ritmu li se jappellaw lil fans ta 'African Head Charge, CAN's Future Days, jew Roberto Musci’s Tower of Silence.

This is not techno and Rue is not a DJ. Yet the gestures of live mixing feed what Rue calls “elastic dance” – a broader look at left-field dance, nervy grooves with a post-punk aesthetic. These alchemical objects remind us of the moments when punks like Lizzy Mercier Descloux or Liquid Liquid picked up bric-a-brac percussion. In the 90s, Rue was a kid regular at his grandfather’s warehouse Club Vinyl in New York, where he spent time in the DJ booth, eyes fixed on dancefloor heavyweights like Danny Tenaglia and Timmy Regisford.

Imma dawn il-ġesturi huma biss partijiet ta’ whole, il-forma totali tiegħu xi ħaġa bħal spiral collaged. L-abilità ta’ Rue li jpoġġi, layer, u jqabbżel elementi differenti f’koheżjoni staggering tissuġġerixxi, fil-fatt, li l-ebda oġġett mhuwiex verament barrani.

“Auscultation” began with recordings of the sounds emitted by Rue’s own stomach and “Operation for Preferred Embodiment” began with recordings of his father’s voice. “I wanted to transform the voice into an aeolian instrument,” Rue says. The inclusion of these organic, perhaps sentimental elements is, of course, more than novelty. “My music,” says Rue, “is about possession, nourishment. For me it provides a source and space of good work which is a refuge from externalization, from dispossession.” This statement speaks to the depths of Rue’s thinking about his work and the sensitivity of his execution. 4n_Objx is none of the things it appears to be; for that to be the case, it would have to be reduced, externalized. But like the poetry of John Ashberry (one of Rue’s idols), it resists this, reveals itself through mimesis and interplay, dense and shifting.

Rue irekorda għal Astral Editions, Not Not Fun, Soap Library, CAMP editions, u Tiger Sushi u ħadem ma' Ka Baird, Qasim Naqvi, Bergsonist, Merche Blasco, Dean Wareham, Susie Ibarra, Valentina Magaletti, u ħafna oħrajn. Riċentement ipperforma fil-Fondazion ICA Milano, Experimental Intermedia, de Young Museum, Roulette Mixology Festival, Hauser & Wirth, u oħrajn. Ppreżenta preżentazzjonijiet fil-Mużew tal-Arti tal-Belle Époque ta' Montreal, Kunstsammlung Düsseldorf, u organizza wirjiet għal Ballroom Marfa u The Calder Foundation f'lokalitajiet non-konvenzjonali bħal żona ta' kostruzzjoni waqfa u refettorju neo-Gotiku. Għandu xowwa regolari fuq Montez Press Radio jikkelma ma' figuri bħal Phill Niblock, Annea Lockwood, David Behrman, “Blue” Gene Tyranny, Clark Coolidge, u Fran Lebowitz. Bħalissa huwa artist residenti fil-Roulette Intermedium, fejn fid-10 ta' April ipperforma l-ewwel dehriet Nord-Amerikani ta' Giusto Pio's Motore Immobile u Ananta.
