The COLLAGE engine is a playground for sonic exploration, full of overlapping loops and contrasting fragments. Inspired by the tape-splicing techniques of musique concrète, it reassembles and magnifies fragments of experimental recordings, building overlapping sequences and granular micro-montages that transcend linear time. Three instruments now live inside it, each built from a different body of experimental recordings.
SPECTRES assembles fifteen experimental instrumentalists into a study of sonic illusion. RUINS takes the electric guitar apart through six players. MATERIALS turns to percussion, through the practice of a single avant-garde performer.
