– Concert The Myth of Control is the Bug and the Beat, by David Helbich

David Helbich’s improvisations weave sounds from analogue synthesizers with samples from field and voice recordings. 
The result is a negotiation between music and noise, between pulse and interruption. 
He often plays a Bugbrand system, but sometimes the Bugbrand system plays him. 

 

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Going Out.
Walking, Listening, Soundmaking

 

Since the 1960s, the act of walking has provided a way for artists and musicians to escape the formality of the concert hall or institutional venues, engaging with shifting public spaces, natural environments, the social and political sphere. Walking redefines notions of composer, performer, public and music itself, while opening new modes of perception and action. Going Out addresses these developments by exploring the relationship between walking, listening, and soundmaking in the arts – from the first soundwalks and itinerant performances in the 1960s to today’s manifold ambulatory projects. The book consists of an extensive essay by Elena Biserna followed by an anthology of historical and contemporary contributions in the form of documentation, essays, interviews, manifestos, scores, narratives and reflections. Through the variety of these contributions, the book makes an argument that at the intersection of walking, listening and soundmaking there is both a long legacy of interdisciplinary experimentations and a broad field that resounds with urgent issues in critical spatial thinking and practice.
