KATE CARR \u2013 RUBBER BAND MUSIC<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Kate Carr<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong> is unafraid to take things a few steps further and go where others hesitate to go \u2013 last December\u2019s Rubbish Music<\/a><\/em><\/span>, which was literally created using rubbish, is a great example. <\/p>\n

\u201cEverything from vibrations caused by cars and footfalls, to indistinct murmurs, music in public space, and the roar of distant sporting events has found its way into my compositions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Carr<\/em><\/strong>\u2018s<\/em> <\/em><\/strong>growing catalogue of works was released on various labels, but mostly on Flaming Pines<\/a><\/em> \u2013 the label she founded herself.<\/p>\n

I guess most of us have sometimes plucked a rubber band and listened how that sounded (I did, anyway). Carr <\/em><\/strong>created her own noise boxes, using various constructions with rubber bands and springs.<\/p>\n

She recorded these experiments with contact microphones, and post-processed the sonic material with various effects. The result sounds utterly different from what you might have expected. I\u2019m not sure how to describe it in words other than fascinating and adventurous, so I suggest you just listen for yourself.<\/p>\n

Rubber Band Music<\/em><\/strong> is released on CD and as a download. With the initial pre-release there was also a \u2018noise box edition\u2019 available, with a hand-crafted noise box including springs, rubber bands, \u2018items to produce textural sounds\u2019, <\/em>also fitted with a contact mix and 1\/4\u2033 socket for amplification.
Interested? Sorry, note the \u2018was\u2019 in this sentence. Sold out long before release date (which is the day I publish this post!). <\/p>\n

But with the images in mind, it shouldn\u2019t be too hard to build one yourself?<\/p>\n
