Keith Fullerton Whitman’s latest composition is 15 years in the making Posted: 10 Jul 2019 09:45 AM PDT An eight-channel installation work  made up of recordings made on differing Serge Modular systems.  The latest work from experimental electronic composer Keith Fullerton Whitman is 15 years in the making. STS (2019) was made partly in homage to speech-transformation works by artists such as Herbert Eimert and was recorded using differing Serge Modular systems at the Banff Centre for Arts & Creativity, the Columbia Computer Music Center, Elektronmusikstudion, the Groupe de Recherches Musicales, Harvard University Studio for Electro-Acoustic Composition, and Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio. The sound experiment is the result of the “mapping of the frequency spectra of time-aligned formants to a catalog of full-range synthesizer signals”, blended with “fragments of speech, recitation, and extra-textual verbal communication”, and is just one of an infinite amount of outcomes. STS (2019) is out on July 12 and is available to pre-order now. Check out the cover art and tracklist below. Tracklist: 01. ‘STS: SYNTH, TRACT, SERGE’ 02. ‘STS: SYNTH, TRACT, SOLILOQUY’ 03. ‘STS: SYNTH, TRACT, SPEECH’ 04. ‘STS: SYNTH, TRACT, SPEAKING’ 05. ‘STS: SYNTH, TRACT, STYLE’ 06. ‘STS: SYNTH, TRACT, SHORT-LIVED’ 07. ‘STS: DEBUT, REMOTE VIEWING’ Read next: The 25 best albums of the last three months – April to June 2019 The post Keith Fullerton Whitman’s latest composition is 15 years in the making appeared first on FACT Magazine: Music News, New Music..

Jenny Hval is back with a new album. The Practice Of Love was inspired by Valie Export’s 1985 film of the same name and sees the Norwegian artist exploring the concept of love as a poetic and artistic process. “Love, and the practice of love, has been deeply tied to the feeling of otherness”, explains Hval. “In the last few years I have wanted to take a closer look at the practice of otherness, this fragile performance, and how it can express love, intimacy, empathy and desire.” Unlike her previous album Blood Bitch, which topped our list of the best albums of 2016, her latest project features a variety of collaborations with Vivian Wang, Laura Jean Englert and Félicia Atkinson all lending their voices to the record. The Practice Of Love arrives on September 13 via Sacred Bones and is available to pre-order now. Check out the cover art and tracklist below. Tracklist: 01. ‘Lions’ (feat. Vivian Wang) 02. ‘High Alice’ 03. ‘Accident’ (feat. Laura Jean) 04. ‘The Practice of Love’ (feat. Laura Jean and Vivian Wang) 05. ‘Ashes To Ashes’ 06. ‘Thumbsucker’ (feat.
