Artist: Autotectonic

Song: [excerpt]

Recorded at Wenona Lodge (Appetite for Deconstruction #1), February 27, 2020.

Autotectonic - [excerpt]

Another new electronic improvised music series, this one hosted by synthesist and sound designer Mike Barber. His concept, as implied by the series' title, was to record the sets by the evening's guests and use that as the source material for his own set. Cayce Fischer brought a different vibe to this set than what I had heard before, largely through the use of guitar as the sound-source in her modular rig, turning frozen rumbles into layers of white noise and granular fragments — creating a butterfly effect where small flutters would cascade into spiralling vertices of sound.

[Stay tuned, once the need for social distancing has eased, for word of the continuation of this series!]

Recording: Autotectonic

Artist: Autotectonic

Song: unknown*

Recorded at Handlebar (Nite Comfort 75), January 5, 2020.

Autotectonic - unknown

Cayce Fischer's solo electronic project saw her undertake a trip through several cosmic zones in the course of this set. Song-sized segments added a sense of structure, but there was always a feel of questing experimentalism keeping things from feeling over-controlled.

[The future of Nite Comfort — and its home venue Handlebar — remain up in the air right now, so you might consider heading down there tonight (February 2nd) to celebrate the community Nite Comfort has built and hear some sounds from Annacetaminophen and New Tendencies.]

* Does anyone know the title to this one? Please leave a comment!

Recording: Neil Wiernik & Cayce Fischer

Artist: Neil Wiernik & Cayce Fischer

Song: [excerpt]

Recorded at Array Space (Audiopollination 78), December 14, 2019.

Neil Wiernik & Cayce Fischer - [excerpt]

With winter weather and bugs going around, this night of self-curated trios became a series of duos — giving the performers in each set a bit more room to stretch out. This pairing matched drones and modular synth sounds from Neil Wiernik (who records as naw) & Cayce Fischer (whose solo project is Autotectonic) with cameo appearances from bells and birds.

You can also watch visual documentation of this full set over at Audiopollination's youtube channel:

[Audiopollination will be back at Array Space on Saturday, February 8th, with some more fabulous/spontaneous sounds.]
