about

Rife is Nick Storring’s recorded debut. It contains three electronic works: Artifacts (2007–9); Indices of Refraction (2005–11); Outside, Summer is Bursting at the Seams (2007)

Artifacts, in eight parts, draws its source material entirely from a near-broken student-grade violin that was given to Storring by his grandmother prior to him beginning cello lessons at age four. The instrument became mostly a wall ornament for the best part of 22 years, until the composition of this piece. Given the quality and decrepitude of the instru- ment, it meant the sonic possibilities were quite open: from tuning the instrument up and bowing/plucking, to moving the bridge around, to scraping the varnish off with a micro- phone (the opening of the first section) to tapping the body, and even shuffling the instrument across the floor. To match this wide array of sounds, various types of processing were also employed: everything from ‘proper’ computer manipul- ation to the recording onto a dictaphone whose power supply was shorting out. The first section of the work won the 2008 Jeux de Temps/ Times Play competition for emerging electroacoustic Canadian composers and subsequently led to the piece being played at various electroacoustic music festivals across the world. The entire 28-minute work made its debut at the 2010 Toronto Electroacoustic Symposium.

Nick Storring is a Toronto-based composer. His work has been performed by the Esprit Orchestra, Quatuor Bozzini, and accompanied the MT Space’s play The Last 15 Seconds on its national tour and throughout the Middle East. Inter- active piece Tentacles, featuring Storring’s music and sound design, is showing at MoMA this summer and autumn. He is also a member of the bands Picastro, I Have Eaten The City, son jarocho collective Café Con Pan, and regularly plays with Gardenia (aka Bryan Walker of Gates). In his Piège guise Storring is currently finishing an album of dance tracks. He is a recent winner of the Canadian Music Centre’s Toronto Emerging Composer Award.

by Yves De Mey

An ascetic (though mighty) sound palette, works as a canvas for an unrivaled lecture about rhythm generation & composition in electronic music. Straight from the outermost post and beyond the explored areas of this micro universe, from where Yves De Mey sends us back his findings. Now I’m trying to remember what was I doing back in September that prevented me from grabbing this instantly. 𝖜𝖔𝖗𝖒 𝖒𝖊𝖆𝖑
