Resonating Wires by Autistici

Resonating Wire started as one vibrating wire from an acoustic guitar, captured, sculptured and morphed into a buzzing pad of noise. Tiny details were added, xylophone, cello, double bass, electronics and the crumpled sound of household objects exploited and manipulated. The original track can be found on the album Complex Tone Test released on KESH.

Resonating Wires sees the process start again. It is an album of remixes by talented artists. It is also an album in its own right. That one vibrating wire and all the other elements are open to intense reinterpretation. The countless possibilities are explored and the palette is expanded. From Simon Scott’s minimal beginning, Bluermutt’s electro awaking, Sawako’s gentle and intimate vocalisations, Behan’s resonant and distorted drive, Lopez brings it back to minimal sounds objects, Isan, Hawgood & Norbury expand the original structures, Varis examines his world of disjointed objects, Chartier settles us with minimalism before He Can Jog’s warm electronic retro ending.

Audiobulb has always been about the spirit of exploration. The aim is to stay with the moment and exploit the possibilities of sound. Resonating Wires aims to provide the listener with a journey through the possibilities of sound – at times quiet and minimal with space to breathe. At times loud and complex, building an all encompassing presence. With this wire we are sound.

There is an intimate, intense and enmeshed sense of connection with tiny details (e.g., dust on vinyl, a door opening, heart beats, breathing, snoring). A respect for volume objects includes a fascination with amplification and the ability to magnify tiny sounds and bring the previously unheard into focus.
