Blank Forms: One or Many Pipe

New York, 17.02.24

In this jaunt through reeds and tubing, we follow Anton Bruhin’s claim that the trümpi is a synthesizer, tune into oscillations from Ethiopia and New Guinea, and meditate on Scelsi’s proto-synthetic arrangements for voice based on ondioline improvisations. Other highlights include Scelsi’s former associate Dary John Mizelle’s “Polytempus II” for synthesizer and percussion, as well as selections from James Rushford’s forthcoming album Turzets (Blank Forms Editions) combining organ and digital voice synthesis.
