                 &amp;raquo;white noise&amp;laquo; is a cooperation project between raster-media and the max planck institute for empirical aesthetics. artistic sound projects generated in the context of the scientific research institute will appear at irregular intervals. the themes and questions of empirical aesthetics research are taken up, questioned or challenged in very different ways. &amp;raquo;white noise&amp;laquo; is conceived as an audio archive of the mpiea artists in residence which records the artistic works on vinyl and documents the respective concepts and working methods in text form. 
 victioria keddie&#039;s &amp;raquo;pshal p&amp;rsquo;shaw&amp;laquo; (white noise #002) is a multimedia exploration delving into phonetic expression&#039;s auditory and rhythmic nuances of phonetic expressions through an amalgamation of text, sound, video, data, and customized learning software. drawing inspiration from the painter and architectural theorist hermann finsterlin who made speculative architectural renderings, the project originated during a residency at the max planck institute for empirical aesthetics in frankfurt in 2023. 
 the project&#039;s engagement with the sonic landscape of the eight diphthongs in us english, documented through recorded sessions at eeg labs with participants of diverse international backgrounds, is not just a technical analyses. the applied script for the recording session, infused with a contemporary western us dialect, ventures beyond, exploring the primal essence of phonetic expression and its impact on the oral landscape of mouth, throat, and tongue. 
 this work focuses on the spoken aspect of language: the art of oration, conversation, and mimicry. It reflects the beauty of our perpetual change, speaking directly to our humanity and the raw, tender moments of existence. it embraces the awkward, beautiful and vulnerable essence of our shared human experience. 
 victoria keddie is a multidisciplinary artist delving into sound, video, installation, and performance. her work uncovers hidden narratives within ordinary artifacts and spaces, emphasizing their role in shaping our collective story. the examination of acoustic phenomena and language is a recurring theme in her artistic work. keddie&amp;rsquo;s current projects navigate the acoustic complexity of language and dialects. 
 for over a decade, keddie was co-director of e.s.p. tv, exploring the televisual medium for performance and sound. keddie has performed and exhibited internationally. recent fellowships include the nysca/nyfa for music/sound (2022), the max planck institute for empirical aesthetics (2023), and the bemis center for contemporary art, sound art and experimental music fellowship (2024).

                <![CDATA[
                 unequal cycles in search of synchronous experiences: on his new album &amp;raquo;pounding&amp;laquo;, frank bretschneider tells of distance, convergence and congruence in a continuous, ever-changing flow of events. what is often regarded as an unquestionable dogma in club music (for which bretschneider has provided significant impetus since the 1990s) - the groove - appears precarious, unstable, and in motion. pulse and accent are volatile encounters and have to be found again and again for short, delightful moments. music becomes a constant process of negotiation. 
 in search of new sound spaces, bretschneider has recently worked a lot with modular synthesizers, both solo (for example on &amp;raquo;abtasten_halten&amp;laquo;, 2020) and in collaborations, including the project beispiel together with jan jelinek. &amp;raquo;pounding&amp;laquo; was created using similar means - conceived in 2020 for the pochen biennale in chemnitz, subsequently developed further and recorded in march and april 2023 on a sample-based modular system. and in fact, bretschneider is once again exemplarily scanning his own sound material, such as dub effects that listen to themselves disintegrate; but also the human voice, or more precisely: the stuttering of fragments of speech, far in the distance but omnipresent, like a mysterious narration. aesthetically, the eleven pieces form part of a series of works with a focus on percussion. bretschneider has already perfected this approach with albums like &amp;raquo;rhythm&amp;laquo; (2007) and has been shifting the perspective ever since, for ever new results. 
 shifting is the basic principle of &amp;raquo;pounding&amp;laquo;. bretschneider combines elements that are in different aggregate states, changing their relationship to each other and thus ensuring the complex overall movement. he lets one to two-bar loops run against each other and through small manipulations, develops a network of rhythms that creates a hypnotic state in the counterplay of repetition and mutation, between clearly recognizable meter and disorientation. there are comparable approaches in aleatoric music. bretschneider combines them with sounds and patterns that are reminiscent of step sequencer logic and at the same time go far beyond it. the result is relational techno. never obvious, always restless and exciting.

 arturo lanz saverio evangelista atom&amp;trade; 
 are the last three futurists on earth. 
 &amp;raquo;radial&amp;laquo; is the result of a vivid creative merge between esplendor geométrico and atom&amp;trade;. a transparent diamond formed by a heavy implosion. its underlying massive mechanics are covered by a crystal surface made to cut reality in half. just one letter short of &amp;ldquo;radical&amp;rdquo;, this album is no less than exactly that - an orgy of powerful, blunt repetition and hyperbolic simplicity, a profound evocation of nothingness and its surroundings. 
 the 13 tracks (which comprise the digital full-length version) of &amp;raquo;radial&amp;laquo; are the exact expansion of sonic ideas those three artists have explored during the last couple of decades. unexpectedly so, this makes this production an outstandingly atemporal one - some would even classify it as meta-contemporary. 
 a selection of 10 tracks of the digital full-length album will be released on CD through raster on september 01, whereas an accompanying vinyl release is scheduled for the end of 2023.  vinyl tracklist:

                 il quadro di troisi &amp;raquo;la verit&amp;agrave;&amp;laquo; new digital single out today via all streaming platforms. 
  https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/album/5RDcWfWWnATiAj5lXd13bI  
 &amp;raquo;la verit&amp;agrave;&amp;laquo; is the song that marks the comeback of il quadro di troisi, one of the most sophisticated bands on the international music scene. the duo, previously formed by donato dozzy and eva geist, has become a trio with the stable addition of pietro micioni. the new track, a surprise release, signals a subtle yet tangible departure from their debut album. 
 &amp;raquo;la verit&amp;agrave;&amp;laquo; takes the foundational elements of il quadro di troisi&#039;s musical aesthetics (inspired by the melodic and lyrical tradition of Italian pop and electronic music) and takes them into new and unexplored directions. &amp;raquo;la verit&amp;agrave;&amp;laquo; is about the world we live in: an unflinching and disenchanted look at current events and a statement of identity and belonging.&amp;nbsp; 
 the single&#039;s cover was designed by francesco messina for polystudio. messina is a longtime franco battiato collaborator and co-author, a cult musician (his prati bagnati del monte analogo, made in collaboration with roul lovisoni, is considered a seminal record by the alternative Italian music scene), as well as a photographer, visual artist and the author of legendary record covers. 
 new album &amp;raquo;la commedia&amp;laquo; scheduled for march. presented in collaboration with 42 records.

                 &amp;raquo;in words&amp;laquo; is the first solo album by the danish musician, composer, and visual artist alexander tillegreen. 
 the album represents a series of varied electronic music pieces while also carrying examples of ongoing work with psychoacoustic phenomena.&amp;nbsp;composed partly of material taken from his artistic practice as an installation artist and his ongoing interdisciplinary artistic research into psychoacoustic phenomena, tillegreen investigates subjective sonic perception and the negotiation of language. particularly, these investigations are done through the use of the phantom word illusion, originally discovered by music psychologist diana deutsch. parts of the album were conceived when tillegreen was the first artist ever in resident at the max planck institute for empirical aesthetics. 
 triggering the brain&amp;rsquo;s tendency to interpret language-based auditory illusions as meaningful information and as words within the mind of the listener, tillegreen&amp;rsquo;s unique sound works unfold&amp;nbsp;like a kaleidoscope of phonetic mirrors which render possibilities to reflect upon the listener&amp;rsquo;s own psychological and culturally situated linguistic embeddedness. 
 gender-distorted voice perception, speech and language borders are all challenged and thematized throughout tillegreen&amp;rsquo;s work. the listener&amp;rsquo;s head and bodily movement drastically affect the listening and the word interpretation. their psychological subconsciousness, recent events, memories, and expectations as well as the listener&amp;rsquo;s motion in space all become co-creative and co- composing factors in a reactive and choreographic process of listening. 
 the polyrhythmic seriality of spatialized syllabic structures is accompanied by elements of heavy bass drops, high-frequency tensions, undulating synth lines, and hypnotic effects. some of the many compositional potentials of the phantom word illusions are exercised and unfolded in selected tracks throughout the album. the notion of language borders is approached from an entirely different and even more &amp;ldquo;anti-logocentric&amp;rdquo; perspective on the &amp;ldquo;eponymous&amp;rdquo; closing track &amp;raquo;assimilate (in words)&amp;laquo;, where the listener experiences the struggle and collapse of interpersonal communication through conversation. 
 other parts of the album represent more diverse approaches to abstract electronic music. &amp;raquo;in words&amp;laquo; morphs soundscapes into glacial, spherical passages of ambient backdrops, while at other times emphasizes raw tectonic blocks of hyper-panning drones that erupt into high-velocity outlets of energetic, granular fields. tillegreen is alternating between cyclical, minimalist, hypnotic approaches and complex, glitchy polyrhythmic melodic structures that shift and melt into evocative ambiences. 
 the phantom words and the nature of tillegreen&amp;rsquo;s musical visions progressively demand more of the listener&amp;rsquo;s attention and represent the artist&amp;rsquo;s ongoing artistic work and scientific research into psychoacoustics and language. 
 while &amp;raquo;in words&amp;laquo; is a highly conceptual album, the musical bandwidth is extensive.
