The duo of Al Margolis ( If, Bwana) and Doug Van Nort utilizes two distinct approaches to manipulating sampled material, grabbing one another’s sound on the fly and forming an endless feedback loop of re-imagined sonic identities. The result is a rich palette of sound informed by classic electronic composition, minimalist drone works, and modern noise music. “Structure to chaos, drone to acoustic collages…”

Genetic Orchestra #6: Deep Listening Genetic Orchestra 2011
A co-creation with the students of the Deep Listening Class
viewable live or via archive Ustream.tv
For the past three weeks, the students of the Deep Listening class have been mutating and breeding a shared pool of sounds using an evolutionary process. The sound qualities embedded within the resultant sound pool are used by Van Nort in order to create a structured piece. Using a custom software instrument to stretch, shift, loop and transform the evolved material, the players improvise within the confines of the score. This brings to life a sonic tapestry that results from the collective decisions of the group – thus is born the Deep Listening Genetic Orchestra 2011!
