The piece is for live organ and 6-channel electronics, this is a stereo mixdown version.Ionosphere focuses on the organ's sounds usually almost unhearable and unnoticed due to being quite, far from the listener, blurred by the acoustics of the space or considered artefacts accommodating the “proper” sound. The wind from the blower, the tiny nuances and changes on the border between wind and tones, frequency beatings from the half-opened stops' combinations. Electromagnetic fields recorded with special microphones create an electronic layer of the piece. https://ignashev.com/Lightcones Thu, 01 Jul 2021 22:28:10 +0000 Evgeny Ignashev | Composer & Sound Artist | Vienna https://ignashev.com/Lightcones Light Cones and Actual Entities &nbsp; I Kami&nbsp; ︎ &nbsp; II Interzone &nbsp; ︎&nbsp; III Kugelblitz &nbsp; ︎ &nbsp; IV Hypersurface of the Present #processandreality &nbsp; #mankowskispace &nbsp; #a.n.whitehead &nbsp; #liaisonssonores2021 &nbsp;&nbsp; #echoraum Originally an 8-channel acousmatic sound projection, reduced to stereo here. https://ignashev.com/Per-Aspera-Ad-Astra Sun, 02 Aug 2020 18:10:30 +0000 Evgeny Ignashev | Composer & Sound Artist | Vienna https://ignashev.com/Per-Aspera-Ad-Astra Per Aspera Ad AstraAcousmatic.

These high-frequency intervals tend to produce so-called ‘otoacoustic emissions’ — an extra layer of sonic sensations within a listener’s inner ear itself, as a reaction to these specific frequencies. Due to the generative nature of the piece, it will sound differently each time it is being played (if played from the original puredata-patch). The piece uses a set of 3 core custom-designed voices. Each voice has a basic frequency plus 16 sub-voices detuned in the micro-range range of 0.0001 Hz to 1 Hz against the main frequency of the oscillator. In addition it has 3 sub-oscillators generating low-frequency related to one of the main high-frequency voices, and a special spatialisation cross-relative filtering section widening the spatial effect. <img width="825" height="470" width_o="825" height_o="470" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cada53b3c27f13d140addc7dcb90e97ba01450f00db20d4f67601e2cf05e56e9/pd_transparent.png" data-mid="73447559" border="0" data-scale="86" alt="Needles Needles &mdash; an element of the puredata patch" data-caption="Needles Needles — an element of the puredata patch" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/825/i/cada53b3c27f13d140addc7dcb90e97ba01450f00db20d4f67601e2cf05e56e9/pd_transparent.png" /><img width="2146" height="1380" width_o="2146" height_o="1380" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e5ee3b77b872ff87b43132cb7cccb68c25bb5c76537a0a968596a13c0dfdcb2d/ignashev_nn_black_transparent.png" data-mid="109951956" border="0" data-scale="83" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e5ee3b77b872ff87b43132cb7cccb68c25bb5c76537a0a968596a13c0dfdcb2d/ignashev_nn_black_transparent.png" /> https://ignashev.com/Interzone-1 Thu, 09 Feb 2023 18:11:36 +0000 Evgeny Ignashev | Composer & Sound Artist | Vienna https://ignashev.com/Interzone-1 Interzone&nbsp;for punctum collective ensemble Viola: Sarah Maria Dragović, violin: Eirini Krikoni Premiere: 23.03.2023, Brick-15, Vienna.&nbsp; Interzone is a meditation on the fragility of our everyday normality and of the humaneness in humans.
