layers

This footage demonstrates a collection of multiple movements in a variety of directions, with no individual movement appearing dominant over another.

A small and silent study of movement against structure.

reminiscent green

This footage was taken from inside looking out through our marked studio window. The music being played in our studio is taken from our new album ‘reminiscence’, hopefully due out early this year on Slow Flow Rec. The other incidental sounds, or perhaps they could be thought of as marks on the music, are heard as if inside, although some of these sounds origin however, are not.
‘reminiscent green’ explores a relationship created from two locations, the inside and the outside, articulated through what we see and what we hear. In this short work, we can neither hear what we see, or see what we hear, yet we can imagine.

roni

Visited some famous London water today with Peter Cusack and friends to take some field recordings.
The day was grey, the tide was out, and the area was swamped in mist. This footage is inspired no doubt by Roni Horn’s recent exhibition nearby at the Tate Modern, which has changed our perception of this water for good. It’s different now, holding many stories.

Just because I’m quite excited about this audio/video diary entry and feeling particularly prolific today.

morning

This is the first entry of many, exploring minimal movement through audio and visual means. These posts will be temporarily available on our facebook page before being eventually available only through moize.net. Each audio/video entry will be accompanied with a short piece of writing found under ‘continue’. This writing will sometimes be our thoughts, sometimes more abstract, sometimes a bit of both.

I woke early this morning, hoping for a bright day in London, and it wasn’t all that bad. I shot this little video with blurry eyes, and while watching it back made some music.

sound of the air-defense maneuvers

I haven’t heard this sound for so long…

This extended tone dropped me back into the whirl of memory. I remembered how excited we were about it when the school teacher announced in the morning that there would be 30 minutes of hiding underneath the table that day. I remembered clearly how we were teasing our classmates who couldn’t squeeze themselves underneath their tables.

Then, it came, as expected, yet, surprised you each time.

L’HISTOIRE – Chubby Wolf

A little while ago i had the experience of listening to an incredible work that moved me so much i just had to write about it. I decided on writing a review of this work in the hope others might read my words, buy it, and be as equally moved. The work is from Dani Baquet-Long, also known as Chubby Wolf, or “Chubbs”, and this is her debut solo album entitled L’Histoire, that has been released a little while now on the Gears of Sand label. It should be said that i wrote this review a few days prior to my learning about the tragic loss of Dani, and since then i haven’t been able to bring myself to listen to this album or revisit my review. I feel now that the time has come, where i would like to put on Dani’s album and share this review.

threeplusone label

After a many long discussions, myself and Lucia have decided to go ahead with our new exciting project which will be our new small label called threeplusone. This new label will be another place for us to realize our work and also to collaborate with other sound artists in releasing works together.

Minimal Art & Minimal Music

I recently read a very interesting thesis written by Christian Schrei, a student of Information Design at the University of Applied Sciences Graz, Austria. The paper entitled simply ‘Minimal’, contemplates some similarities and differences between Minimal Art and Minimal Music and does so by comparing various techniques and known artists.

Each chapter (accompanied by minimal designs) is organized into the sections: Reduction, Repetition, Mathematical LogicObject Orientation And Perspective and finally Meditative Effect.
