Decompositions, by Andrew Kingston

Decompositions

by Andrew Kingston

supported by

Abel A. The simple concept of deconstructing a composition, or "noise" into a totally different thing, though organized, is a marvelous idea. I like how Kingston explored through this, creating a new thing out of other.

about

This album is made up of two parallel pieces of music, various sections of which alternate throughout the album—one written for two violas, the other made from field recordings of the bird calls of (at least) two loons. Neither sounds anything like its source material. Each piece was influenced by the musique concrète of Pierre Schaeffer and others.

Links to the bird call recordings are below. Thanks to Jonathon Jongsma for making them available through Creative Commons:
