On \u201cBounds\u201d: Bounds<\/i> is a new, more synthetic direction for Seth Nehil.\u00a0 Originally composed for a festival of music in complete darkness, these pieces treat recorded sound as infinitely malleable and transformable.\u00a0 Starting with acoustic percussive sources (drums, gongs, cymbals, vibraphones, etc.), recordings were warped beyond recognition, exploring the juncture between rhythm and pitch.\u00a0 Sonic impulses were subjected to micro-editing techniques to produce new, alien forms which were then fragmented into grains, pulses and tones or built up into rhythms, loops and cycles.\u00a0 Convolution reverb was used extensively to color timbres and place sounds into unusual spaces.\u00a0 These eleven short tracks are full of expanses, interruptions and repetitions.\u00a0 These are dynamic compositions that sound like nothing else. Seth Nehil (b. 1973) is a sound and video artist making concerts, performances and installations. Nehil meshes manipulated acoustic recordings, voices, instruments, granular synthesis and field recordings into richly detailed spaces. His compositions draw equally from classic musique concr\u00e9te, film sound design, hip hop production and noise to form a uniquely hybrid sonic world, full of off-kilter rhythms, sudden junctures and explosive bursts. \u201c\u2026A shapliness that\u2019s unusual in abstract music\u2026 hugely satisfying.\u201d – Brian Marley, The Wire<\/p>\n In addition to recorded and live-mixed sound, Seth Nehil has collaborated with dance and video artists, choreographers, and theater companies to produce original sound scores, multimedia performances and video installations. He has created his own original performance pieces, bringing together multi-screen video, multi-channel recorded sound and live performers to explore quasi-narrative spaces between cinema and dance. He is currently conducting research for an experimental documentary on the use of \u201cattack therapy\u201d and the historical roots of child behavior modification.<\/p>\n Seth Nehil has released over 15 albums of experimental sound on international labels, including Sonoris (France) and Senufo Editions (Italy). He has given concerts across Europe, Japan and the US. Nehil received an MFA in Music\/Sound from Bard College. He teaches sound design, sound art and video at the Pacific Northwest College of Art, Washington State University and Portland State University. retail: 18,00 euro<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A U F\u00a0 A B W E G E N\u00a0 RELEASE INFO LP vinyl \/ digital release date: 05.12.2014 artist:\u00a0 SETH NEHIL title: Bounds order no.: aatp47 Label code (LC): 01291 time: ca. 42 mins full colour cover, plus insert.

\n\u201eBounds\u201c consists of 11 electro-acoustic compositions, whose first versions were constructed by Seth Nehil for the \u201cConcerts in the Dark\u201d series at Moers Festival 2012 curated by aufabwegen. In 2013 Seth did the final versions and added some new pieces. \u201cBounds\u201d is an exciting trip through sound manipulation, treated drums and very detailed textures. The overall atmosphere is dark but the way the sounds are arranged and connected speaks of an almost scientific clarity.<\/p>\n
