Label: Domizil - domizil44

今年でレーベル20周年を迎えたという、ひたすら孤高の路線を行くスイスの電子音楽レーベルDomizil。それに合わせて制作された久々の新作を一挙入荷。本作がDomizilからは4作目(!!)となる音響研究家のMartin Neukomによる8つの発信機を使った実験記録。円形に配置された機器が様々な相互作用により発する全15パターンが収録されており、どれも全く色の無い極めてプリミティブで気持ちの良い音像。大推薦。

In Neukom’s studies 21.1-21.15, eight van der Pol oscillators are arranged in a circle. Each of these oscillators has variable parameters frequency, nonlinearity and a gain and is coupled with his neighbors by variable coupling factors and delay times in both directions. Two additional chains of eight van der Pol oscillators produce control functions which are used for amplitude and frequency modulation. If the frequencies of the oscillators are lower than about 20 Hz the modulations produce pulsations and vibratos. Depending on the coupling strength and the delay some or all pulsations and vibratos synchronize their frequencies. The relative phase which is not audible in audio range plays an important role in the sub-audio range: the pulsations of the single sound sources can have the same frequency but be asynchronous in a rhythmic sense but with growing coupling strength they can produce regular rhythmic patterns, can be exactly in or out of phase.
