专辑简介
"Andrea Parkins always gives her bands such a distinctive flavor: she goes right past conventional squeezebox references and treats the thing like a no-input mixing board, generating sine waves, or a live miniature Morton Feldman generator, slowly stacking tones." -- Signal To Noise
Faulty (Broken Orbit) re-imagines Faulty (Per-Objective), an hour-long 10-channel site-specific audio work premiered in 2007 at Diapason Gallery For Sound in NYC, with sponsorship from Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center and the New York Electronic Arts Festival. Faulty (Broken Orbit) is a poetic exploration of mic'ed surfaces and amplified quotidian objects activated into movement, layered against a shifting and slowly settling field of electric accordion-driven feedback and processed instruments. This massive piece sets out to build elaborate systems in the manner of Rube Goldberg's circuitous contraptions, which Parkins claims as inspiration for both her customized sound processing software and compositional structures, emphasizing idiosyncrasy, tenuous states, and the threat of "things falling apart."
