Jeremy Keenan (Upside Down Umbrella): 4 am Hong Kong Sun (2010)
am Hong Kong Sun: delirious + delicious = deliricious? A recording unit, a stereo pair of microphones, and an excellent Chinese dinner at a particularly strange juncture. Later that night, an MS20 analog synth recording, some editing and a basic structure. The next day, a guitar and bass guitar overdub by Alex Abalos, and some additive synthesis atmosphere. Finally, some live granular overdubs by Edgar Curtis, and a lot of mixing. Enjoy your meal.

Jeremy Keenan (Upside Down Umbrella): All Out Valhalla

‘All Out Valhalla was created entirely from four 8 bar electric guitar recordings. The rhythmic and percussive elements were extracted from transient sonic moments within the recordings and processed into discrete sounds. The piece contrasts the original recordings with transformed versions, creating an interplay between the abstract and the concrete.’

from jacob:
“It is often easy and natural for us to live as if we’re at the center of our universe, or the lead actors in a film chronicling our daily lives. From this perspective, it seems that we are stationary objects; that forces events, and people to act upon us, orbit around us. As i was writing this piece, I was imagining this perspective inverted– what if we are the active bodies, the supporting actors, reacting to and against a giant other force? The feeling of weight, of gravity pushing upon us, is a familiar one. But what is the gravity feeling as we act upon it?”
