Ariel Ariel by Neal Spowage and Danai Pappa by Neal Spowage published on 2020-03-04T18:41:51Z All of the sounds on these eight recordings derive from physical movement and are recorded live with very little post production. Five pieces (Sib Conduit, Frozen Venus, Cold Papaya, Uncertain Construction and Ariel Ariel) were recorded with dancers and performed as duets. Two were solo works (New Track Of Unknown Terra I & II, and one was a duet with another musician (Pensile Decumbent) who was also working with physical movement. Pensile Decumbent and New Track of Unknown Terra II were the only works arranged in post-production. Every piece explores our umwelt, or immediate environment as we experience it. Our umwelt includes each other and the audience. The instruments are assemblages of discarded objects with the addition of DIY electronics to generate sound by utilising movement, pressure, touch and proximity. There is video footage of every performance, except Ariel Ariel, available online from the De Montfort University Open Research Archive (DORA). https://dora.dmu.ac.uk/handle/2086/13237 Genre World Contains tracks Sib Conduit (Spowage & Pappa) by Neal Spowage published on 2020-03-04T18:41:50Z Frozen Venus (Spowage & Pappa) by Neal Spowage published on 2020-03-04T18:41:49Z Cold Papaya (Spowage & Pappa) by Neal Spowage published on 2020-03-04T18:41:49Z Ariel Ariel (Spowage & Pappa) by Neal Spowage published on 2020-03-04T18:41:48Z Uncertain Construction (Spowage & Hall) by Neal Spowage published on 2020-03-04T18:41:48Z
