Trass

by

"Trass" music video by Patrick K.-H. / bestbefore – Andreas Karaoulanis (animation) and Michael J. Schumacher / diNMachine (music), 2018.
Trass takes a motif from “Camptown Races” (Stephen Foster, 1850) and expands on it in a contrapuntal texture. The piece is scored for mixed ensemble; in this recording synthesizers were used instead, with live drums. The video adds its own layers of textural complexity and depth perspective, commenting humorously on the frenetic energy of the music.

Expert from Madatac Fest in Madrid – January 2018.with Patrick K.-H.
MADATAC offers the viewer a new way of seeing video art within one of the most amazing architectural installations in the world. The public can be seated on the sofas, or lying in the ambience prepared for the occasion, under the vault of the NH Collection Eurobuilding: the largest domed LED screen in Europe (300 square meters) and the second in the world. A whole show of light, surround sound (48 sound projectors integrated in the structure) and video in a semi-transparent curved screen where 9 works with a special format, resolution and aesthetics will be projected for this amazing place. Under the title of Videoskies, the works reflect hybrid images, abstract, technological frescoes, geometric and pictorial trips on the perception of color in space, audiovisual games of rhythms, shapes, light, invitations to enter our dreams or Nature in all its splendor unfolding in our senses.

“For the video to recent single “Dbl Trbl,” the band paired with Russian artist Patrick K.-H. and Greek artist Bestbefore to create an animated accompaniment to the erratic and rhythmically skewed sounds that diNMachine has linked together on this track. Combining warped electronics with muddied cross-genre experimentation and a brittle visual aesthetic, the band looks to pull apart their influences while finding common ground between the aural and cinematic nature of their work. Whether it’s through the driving synth bass sounds of electro funk or a dramatically percussive jazz-influenced melody, the band finds a way to make all these sounds flow together in a persuasive cadence.“

Media artists Patrick K.-H. and Oleg Makarov research in the depth of basic media-archeology, working with “drawn sound” technology of 1920’s.

“Drawn sound” (also graphical sound, cutted sound) appeared as the way to produce “sound track” at film tape: converting sound to image (that is graphical spectrum of sound), and back, image (sound spectrum) to sound. At that time, it comes to be the only method to create literally every sound, both “real” and “unreal”, just from drawing. Now, it belongs to forgotten but still fruitful branches of media evolution.

Patrick K.-H. and Oleg Makarov recreate old-school technics by nowdays means: Max/MSP/Jitter, cameras / lenses, video projection, multiscreen, etc.
Also, they employ text-sound composition, sound installation, spatial sound approach, and algorithmic composition. Generally, they define interactivity as an axis for all and every media and data involved into a piece, in order to handle appeared meanings towards this axis.
