ROCK ELECTRONIQUE

Images from my recent Solo show at the Intermedia Gallery. CCA Glasgow -
ROCK ELECTRONIQUE was presented to a score by Pierre Henry, one of the founders of musique concrete interested in the hybridization of ideas and technology, of investigations into used elements of synthesised sounds along with found sounds.

'Jerk Electronique' (1963) Extraction of the heavy bass, drum and song vocals from a rock score leaving an entirely synthesized sound accompanied new works which investigated the artistic strategy of appropriation mixed with reduction.

What has been left out becomes encapsulated within its structure, becoming part icon part metaphor.
Reduction from everything to everything
One sound, not sounds, one single sound everywhere, standardised.

Zabriskie Point. Director Michelangelo Antonioni
The famous explosion scene, reconfigured and extracted from its original source,
getting rid of what the original valued and leaving traces of monochrome facets post
apocolypse suspension in three channels.

The ' detection, amplification and transfiguration of vibrations given out' by human beings,
living and dead, and by materials such as a diamond or a flower';

..... The geometric limitation and building in silence;
