SIVANESAN
The Shape Of Things To Come

MP001

Music evolved out of experiments that used
sound to explore the spatial qualities of a room and the objects within it. Time was later introduced as mediating factor.

Using electric guitar feedback, the tones and textures were manipulated via the in built amplifier controls (bass, mid, treble, volume, gain). The strings of the guitar resonate according to the physical wave patterns.

Bass, boxes, mics, speakers, desk + Neon light FEEDBACK!

Sources were regenerated through a feedback array making the room mirror a living organism. The reference monitors became part of the process as the signals transmitted from the microphones within their proximity cross talked during the recording.

MP003

Smith and Sivanesan work with materials both strange and familiar. They wind tension, realise moments of clarity then drift further afield into unmapped sonic territories.

Patterns and structures reveal themselves, then are smeared, worked up, erased, or simply cut off. Focus shifts, lines blur, music is ambiguous. What is being drawn attention to? The tone, the timbre, the note, the conversation, the object, the room, the situation…or something else?

SPiTTiNG BiTS SOUND SYSTEM
Transmission
MP004

Nick Dan & Sumugan Sivanesan once presented the radio program, Spitting Bits, late night on Sydney's 2SER FM . Playing an eclectic selection of sound, art, and pop, their shows often disintegrated into a haphazard mix of whatever's on hand routed through whatever they can muster.

Transmission sequenced a series of sonic collages scraped together from looped segments of over driven euro pop, radio static, animal calls, cool jazz, hard noise and the occasional stab of Prince...
A blue print for the future of pop music? You do the math.
