" Calligraphy as a form of Friction. Friction, an expression of the Electricity Entity.

In a way “Calligraphy” could also be called “Elements of Friction”. A form of friction that attempts to invoke the mysterious Entity of Electricity. A force which a large number of composers are tapping on, as a way to explore its obscure emanations. As we all know by now, it is mighty clear that Electricity along Amplification and Microphones constitute a triangle of sound expression and discourse. An important base for all sorts of experimental music.

No need to mention the "heroes" of this odyssey as we all know who they are. It seems this field of activity is far from being exhausted as it has become a language instrument that allows to probe large spheres of potential sound entities. It has naturalized into an important main source as it plays and provides some interesting and at times extraordinary sound experiences.

I should add that I make a clear distinction between Electricity as an Entity –read Deity– on its own plane of existence and its manifestation as Electrical Power.

Within this framework "Calligraphy" seeks to play further elements of friction. With this in mind let me list some of the sources.

Dip pen on a large canvas, as well as Tibetan bowls in various modes, sand and all sorts of bells, shakuhachi, didgeridoo, car tires, cymbals, large nail on stone, flying mics, water pump, water tank, bus windows, recordings of Sumo, a conference by Lacan, Papuan Highland salutations, Tibetan monks chant, an Australian ceremonial Wu-Ungka song sung in Wik-ngatara language by two old women Utekn and Yaimuk in Aurukun, in addition to samples, and array of scratching variations and drop-in spontaneous sounds.

With all of it, I tried to weave unexplainable sound situations which still I don't understand as it has a feel of an unknown territory to me. Although there are elements related to my line of exploration.

I hope you can appreciate some aspects of the work, attracted to others, and find areas of discreet interest. "
