about

Englisch

Amabie (アマビエ) is a legendary Japanese mermaid or merman with 3 legs, who allegedly emerges from the sea and prophesies either an abundant harvest or an epidemic. We leverage this theme of 3 limbs for our electronic art event - The Artist, the Musician and the Audience. The Hipster Modular recordings (aka “Fragments”) documented here were captured during the 5/7/2020 “am ab ie” event with the cover art painted in realtime via aggie.io.

1. Artists // Artists paint or draw with the collaborative Aggie.io platform. They can see their collaborations in real-time. Their painting is shared in real-time via Zoom.

2. Musicians // For electronic performances, audio is mixed and sent directly to Zoom. In this performance, audio was mixed (and tracked) with Ableton Live, then sent via anlog connection to a Zoom Q2n-4k camera for input into a MS Surface running Zoom, with Hipster Modular logo as a virtual background.

3. Audience // The combination of the drawing, event flyer and musician audio and video are shared to Youtube Live. The archive can be viewed at: youtu.be/a2CaNutczhU

Server // Since a solid network is key and Zoom doesn’t always play well with real-time drawing applications, a “server” on a fast network is used to combine Zoom with Camtwist desktop sharing.

Playtime: 72 minutes, 18 Seconds presented as 8 Fragments with 2 additional Fragments available via download

Frag. 1 - (109/7:16) “Good News” - Flügelhorn, Frame drum
Frag. 2 - (149.9/9:58) “Placebo Controlled” - VCV Rack, Doepfer modular, SH-01a
Frag. 3 - (149.9/9:58) “Don’t Wait” Flügelhorn
Frag. 4 - (92/6:08) “Can You Explain” Flügelhorn

Frag. 5 - (9:04) “As Much as You Can” Flute, Simpler
Frag. 6 - (149.9/9:58) (9:58) “Emergency Usage” Flügelhorn, Frame
Frag. 7 - (149.9/9:58) “Tempting a Rebound” Flügelhorn
Frag. 8 - (149.9/9:58) “Very Slowly”, VCV Rack w/probability-driven FM-OP & Interzone, Doepfer.

Instrumentation // The musical performance utilized a collection of acoustic instruments, Doepfer harware modular (with Eventide H9Max effect), Roland TR-09 drum machine (with Obscura effect), SH-01a ynthesizer and a VCV Rack virtual modular rig. The soundscape was mixed and recorded with Ableton Live. The Flügelhorn, Shakuhachi and Frame Drum (played with specialized dual-egg-beater whisks, pictured above) was looped with a TC Voicelive Touch 2 and routed via USB into the mix computer. The virtual modular Rack included 3 probability-driven synthesizer voices, a synthesized drum, a sampler (for one Fauci phrase), delay and reverb effects. The Rack was controlled using a Behringer X-Touch mini with the TrevoCon-X-Touch M4L plugin. The virtual modular was sync’d with with Link and stereo mix sent to the mix computer with Dante Via. The 90-minute live recording was sliced into 10 logical Fragments (of less than 10-minutes each). Each Fragment features (and is named after) a prominante Fauci sample. The Fragments do not repeat any sample except for the “Placebo Controlled” processed phrase from the VCV Rack. The first 8 of those Fragments are presented on this audio CD.
