CloudsandClocks: disciplina delle scelte

By Han-earl Park | Published: September 4, 2011

By Han-earl Park | Published: July 17, 2011

manifesto in action (liner notes: io 0.0.1 beta++)

By Han-earl Park | Published: May 29, 2011

Fourth and final excerpt from Sara Roberts’ liner notes to ‘io 0.0.1 beta++’ (SLAMCD 531): There is the limbic tickle of Freud’s uncanny, yes, our scanners are confused by this non-human playing music with humans. But even beyond that animal attentiveness we watch and listen carefully because we know we’re seeing a kind of manifesto [...]

By Han-earl Park | Published: May 25, 2011

Third excerpt from Sara Roberts’ liner notes to ‘io 0.0.1 beta++’ (SLAMCD 531): For the audience, wondering how this artifact has so much presence, is so handily managing a situation they themselves might be challenged to negotiate?

its own sound (liner notes: io 0.0.1 beta++)

By Han-earl Park | Published: May 21, 2011

Another short excerpt from Sara Roberts’ liner notes to ‘io 0.0.1 beta++’ (SLAMCD 531): io 0.0.1 beta++ is rather special in being both an instrument and a player.
