Blank:22k by Giles/Jacob
A collaboration between composers Vincent Giles and Dave Jacob. Jacob performing with a giant mixing console using no-input techniques, and Giles doing real-time patching in MaxMSP. This is a single, improvised, multi-movement work created from purely electronic sources. Warning: this is a very dynamic album, the quiet parts are quiet and the loud parts are loud.
The title is the notion of ratios, and the ratio is a metaphorical blank campus, and the height of frequency content (22,000Hz) as analysed from Part Four. Blank to 22k, in other words.
The cover design, in keeping with the somewhat electronic theme, is created by image manipulation using computer code in the Processing (processing.org) programming environment.
