EP20 Marcin Pietruszewski

Marcin Pietruszewski is a composer and researcher. He is engaged in sound synthesis and composition with computers, exploring specific formal developments in the tradition of electroacoustic music and contemporary sound art, as well as extra-musical domains of auditory design, computational linguistics and psychoacoustics. He works across performance, multimedia installation and radio productions probing the dynamics between formalism of synthetic sound and its material realisation.      Marcin’s website [https://www.marcinpietruszewski.com/]   Steven R Holtzman’s PhD Thesis [https://era.ed.ac.uk/server/api/core/bitstreams/52092c7c-4ef1-448d-8757-5d246ab93cf0/content] La Légende d'Eer by Xenakis [https://karlrecords.bandcamp.com/album/la-l-gende-deer]   The Myth of Perfect Fidelity Melle Jan Kromhout [https://academic.oup.com/book/39395/chapter/339085297]   NORMIFICATION [https://normification.bandcamp.com/album/normification-diag071]   Norm [https://norm.to/]   Florian Hecker [https://florianhecker.blogspot.com/]   Marcus Schmickler [https://piethopraxis.org/]   Albert Bregman Auditory Scene Analysis [https://direct.mit.edu/books/monograph/3887/Auditory-Scene-AnalysisThe-Perceptual-Organization]   Auditory Distortion Synthesis by Christopher Hayworth [https://christopherhaworth.bandcamp.com/album/auditory-distortion-synthesis]   Tartini Tones / Combination Tones [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combination_tone]   Maryanne Amacher [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryanne_Amacher]   Sonig [https://sonig.bandcamp.com/]   Gerard Grisey [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A9rard_Grisey]   Jocelyn Bell Burnell [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jocelyn_Bell_Burnell]   Curtis Roads [https://www.curtisroads.net/]   Anthea Caddy [https://www.antheacaddy.net/] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Her audio art can be qualified as “sound-sculpture”, revealing a minimalist approach to complex sound environments where analog and digital intersect. Her installations express a parallel path, incorporating both musical and visual elements inspired by the architecture of physical spaces. Her works can be “experienced” in a variety of unconventional spaces and new technology festivals across Canada, the United States, South America, South Africa, Europe, Australia, Japan and South Korea. Since 2009, her focus has been related to Quantum mechanics. Many of her projects are inspired by theories related to topics such as vacuum decay, string theory and more recently, what she feels to be the most perplexing phenomenon in the world of the quantum , entanglement resulting in a first presentation, Entanglement A/V, with visual artist Markus Heckmann, which delves into the realms of quantum physics premiered at Mutek Mtl 2021. https://www.francejobin.com/ [https://www.francejobin.com/] Infinite Possibilities (Particle 1) - https://francejobin.bandcamp.com/album/infinite-possibilities-particle-1 [https://francejobin.bandcamp.com/album/infinite-possibilities-particle-1] Infinite Probabilities (Particle 2) - https://francejobin.bandcamp.com/album/infinite-probabilities-particle-2 [https://francejobin.bandcamp.com/album/infinite-probabilities-particle-2] Spring Meandering 2023 - https://francejobin.bandcamp.com/track/spring-meandering-2023 [https://francejobin.bandcamp.com/track/spring-meandering-2023] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
