Paul Cousins offers a multi -channel, interactive installation where the listener has become an artist.
Paul Cousins He is a composer and voice artist who uses band machines from vintage reel from London to reel and uses effects to reshape electronic productions. Orum I love using sequential stages to create music and I am interested in how technological limitations can change the creative process, or he says. Cousins were one of those who first contributed to our Patch Notes series in 2020 and returns to this performance with the performance of the new installation, Atomized listening.
“Atomized listening Instead of a combined composition of music, the cousins explain moments rather than a concept of Theodor Adorno.
Inside Atomized listeningCousins aim to discover our relationship with old technology by reorganizing the original function of the band machine. “The 1/4 ″ band has a certain character and contains flaws that I am often interested in emphasizing, C Cousins says. Orum Hearing the effect of a registration format on a composition, instead of seeking inspiring and subjective perfection, I enjoy leaning on band limitations. ”
Atomized listening From the 1960s and the 70s to five Akai reel, the machine was recorded in London using a Roland Space Echo Reco 2011 and a Teac M-30 mixing table. “I needed five to create this installation, plus there are five more as a reserve,” he explains. “Finding and serving machines was a long process.”
