CONTiNUiNG on AMBiENT PiNG RADiO: the ALMOST LiVE MUSiC SERiES A weekly show playing exclusive, unreleased material by some of the PiNG's closest friends in the ambient, darkwave, chill and electronic communities. Tune in to hear live performances, works in progress, exclusive remixes and more! MONDAY NOVEMBER 20th at 9PM EST ALMOST LiVE iN THE STUDiO . naw http://www.ambientpingradio.com Tune in for a very special ALMOST LiVE iN THE STUDiO performance by naw! Specially created for AMBiENT PiNG RADiO, this performance is a stunning and evocative work that fully demonstrates the artistry and wonder that is naw. The following press release from Neil Wiernik of naw elaborates on this performance. 10pm on a dark rainy November evening 13 stories high This work was generated, composed and recorded in real time by naw (neil wiernik), 13 stories above Toronto overlooking the city. The composition is based on a series of real time improvisations, based on my interpretation of the cityscape I was looking out on, at the time, creating a real time soundtrack to the city. This work is part of my ongoing research into generative soundtrack composition. Having worked with various different kinds of languages to try to create generative aural landscapes over the years I have realized that the language used to create self-evolving work has as much to do with the results as the source data. What I tried to do with this work was create a series of data circumstances that would interact with the software environment I created. I wanted to explore the various algorithmic changes that the data would serve to this software environment and, in turn, the results of the different interactions between inputs, similarly to how we as people interact with various stimuli in our daily routines. I created a space where audio data and numeric data could interact and play off each other to create the final result, which is one such landscape soundtrack, where field recordings and generated sounds can all co-exist as they might or might not in any given environment.The main premise of these soundtracks are to explore how these aural landscapes, even when created by a digital mediator are natural, organic occurrences, much like walking down the street or driving down a highway we piece together the sounds around us to create a soundtrack. This work was created exclusively for AMBiENT PiNG RADiO, November 10th 2006.
