Andrew Deutsch - Lung Cleaner

I created Lung Cleaner for Eric Lanzillotta when he was sick with a serious
lung infection which lasted for months. I hoped to help him recover by
imagining a "sonic cure", an "art pill". The work continued after his
illness and the notion of using metaphor as a compositional starting point
has, at this time, formed the basis for all my sonic research and
composition.

Some other points of departure:
digital structuralism, modular systemic processing, solitary parameter based
interactive performance, image drones, contextual music, glaze/kiln music,
analog/digital hybrids, granular synthesis, headphones, time grafting,
modular synthesis, micro tonal clusters, moment clusters, destructive
improvisational editing, rate of change patterns, logarithmic processing,
filters, time sweeps, restricted randomization patterns, Iannis Xenakis,
Merzbow, John Cage, and Gyorgy Ligeti

source materials included: wine glasses, baby toys, pure tones, bells, music
boxes, gears, water, etc...

track 2: "Dizzy From the Cold Meds" contains samples of 3 unpublished early
electronic works by Pauline Oliveros dating from around 1966.
