Archival electronic experiments recorded in 1984-1987 on an Apple II computer and samplers.
Originally composed by Maggi Payne between 1984-1987 for the performance group Technological Feets. Formed by video artist Ed Tennenbaum in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1981, the group combines dance, live video processing and music.
Ahh-Ahh was first released in 2012 on Root Strata. Composed on an Apple II computer & various early sampling devices, Payne’s compositions are a vibrant response to the call from the moving body. Populated with buoyant pulses, graceful analogue swells, dense fog-like drones and cascading rhythms that shift in space, AHH-AHH is a vital document of not only these early collaborations, but of computer based music as well. She studied with many greats in the field, including Gordon Mumma, Robert Ashley & David Berhman.
Edition of 500 copies. Gatefold Sleeve
Après l’immersion de “Arctic Winds”, nous plongeons dans les archives de cette compositrice avec ici une musique composée sur ordinateur Apple II et échantillonneur entre 1984 et 1987 pour le groupe de performeurs Technological Feets créé par le vidéaste Ed Tennenbaum. Il y a toujours une marque atmosphérique bien prononcée mais aussi un travail rythmique assumé rappelant la place du corps de l’auditeur et jouant sur une pulsation aussi légère que joyeuse.
La première édition de “Ahh-Ahh” date de 2012.
