STREAM ON SOUNDCLOUD

My current focus is on text and language as the foundation of sound based narrative. In this real time installation for the ICA, the performance uses dozens of samples of both spoken and computer generated words and texts. I’ve developed my own sample and synthesis software to achieve these goals. The samples of speech will be combined and broken down to their smallest possible parts, so that the sounds generated will transform from short and rhythmic to dense events to dense and layered drones. The work involves multiple forms of synthesis and sound manipulation.

Patrick Carey is a sound musician and technologist from Portland Maine. His practice lies at the intersection of research, computer programming, and traditional recording and performance. Deeply interested in the history and present of Computer Music and how it’s tropes inform the entirety of modern music creation, Carey’s works identify with the contemporary idea of “sound music”, practices that are steeped in the sound art and experimental tradition but are presented in the medium of more traditional “music”. He performs and records under his own name and runs a small record label focused on experimental sound and technique.
