| STENCH I : Murcof, Helena Gough, Hilary Jeffery + more |
 |
1st Stench night @ The Y Theater, Leicester.
Murcof (Leaf)
sonimatics, scapes and micro sounds
Murcof, aka Fernando Corona, originates from
Mexico and is now resident in Barcelona. His
music is characterised by 'microcosmic'
soundscapes, haunting drones, intimate
minimal textures and striped-back beats. His
new album, Cosmos, is released on the Leaf
label, and is grandeur in scale than his
previous work, and draws on a palette of
sounds derived predominantly from acoustic
instruments. Murcof's performances
incorporate multi-channel sound diffusion and
projections of his video works.

Helena Gough (Entr'acte)
statis and constant flux
Helena Gough is a Birmingham-based sound
artist. Her debut solo release can be found
on the Entr'acte record label. Her work
involves the collection and manipulation of
'real-world' sound material and the
exploration of its abstract properties. Each
new sound piece is created by taking
everything possible from the tiniest element
- working to create something from nearly
nothing.

Hilary Jeffery (FMR) with Tron Kristmas
octophonic tromboscillations
Hilary Jeffery, British born but now based in
Amsterdam, is a trombonist and improviser
working in the field of contemporary and
electronic music. Since 1999, he has worked
on developing the tromboscillator: an
oscillating trombone soundscape, combining
trombone signals with those of electronic
devices such as oscillators, ring modulators,
filters and delay lines. Jeffery's new
release on FMR, Solo Trombone and Electronics
2, has gradually unfolding textures, deep
beating drones, difference tones and
melancholic solo lines.

| Jeffery Laudenslager "Hokusai" Kinetic Sculpture |
 |
From the exhibition Sculpture in Motion at
the Atlanta Botanical Garden on view through
October 2008 and curated by Brigitte
Micmacker from Sculpturesite Gallery.
Curator's commentary: "Jeffery Laudenslager
has taken the dramatic periods of perceived
danger so interesting to George Rickey to an
extreme in his elegant works, and he
expresses the predicament of the nearly
colliding elements most eloquently, aided by
the speed he gains using the extremely
light-weight and resilient metal titanium.
But it is the long, sweet release into
graceful recovery that is Laudenslager's
signature. Hokusai, a fluid twenty foot tall
work inspired by the nineteenth century
Japanese artist's woodblock prints
illustrating waves, is composed of three
counter-weighted and slightly curved titanium
elements, attached sequentially to a larger
stainless steel beam, that undulate freely
then suddenly revert in a puzzling swoop."
