Fully immersive electronic music by US composer Maggi Payne, inspired by the arctic winds.
Maggi Payne’s sound worlds invite the listeners to enter the sound and be carried with it, experiencing it from the inside out in intimate detail. The sounds are almost tactile and visible.
The music is based on location recordings, with each sound carefully selected for its potential—its slow unfolding revealing delicate intricacies—and its inherent spatialization architecting and sculpting the aural space where multiple perspectives and trajectories coexist. With good speakers, some space in your schedule, and a mind-body continuum willing to resonate with Payne’s electroacoustic journey, but then it will take you to places that other music can’t reach.
From the sounds of dry ice, space transmissions, BART trains, and poor plumbing she immerses the listener in a world strangely unfamiliar. Maggi Payne is a composer, video artist, recording engineer, photographer, and flutist and is Co-Director of the Center for Contemporary Music and a faculty member at Mills College, in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Edition of 500 copies. Gatefold Sleeve.
Compositrice, flûtiste et artiste vidéo, née en 1945, Maggi Payne fut la codirectrice du Center for Contemporary Music au Mills College, d’Oakland, en Californie, de 1992 à 2018.
Initialement paru en CD en 2010 chez Innova Recordings, Arctic Winds est réédité en un double LP. Inspirée par les vents arctiques, cette pièce est l’exemple parfait d’une immersion électroacoustique. Nous sommes noyés sous une vague électronique s’inspirant d’éléments naturels, de leurs formes et de leur impact, sans chercher à les imiter pour autant. Voici une musique forte et profonde qui ravira autant les amateurs de dark ambient que ceux de drones paysagers.
