Worms Making Music

“thanks worm for giving us the music”

Anders Hana - Guitar, keyboard, electronics

Morten J. Olsen - Drums, SuperCollider

When I first started listening to them they were a free music/noise/rock band, then I turn my attention away for a few seconds and suddenly they’re using all the elements noise act have hard to control in perfect control setups. There is so much incredible going on in the background of this, I don’t even want to try to guess.. (controlling the feedback of the guitar with a vocoder?)

There’s a beautiful piece of sound art on this website called Jörgköppl. The name is hidden so just move your cursor around until you find it (it’s on the right hand side of the screen). It’s really worth a listen.

I remember us talking about how awesome it was. After our first lecture with Salomé, think it was. Good times.

Arranged in four long pieces, Stil. is based on the complex repetition of looping passages. The underlying idea is that a pattern repeated for long enough begins to reveal hidden pulses and movements not initially apparent. Elements and frequencies overlap to create subtle new intersections, drawing the listener in, and suspending them in this brief moment of frozen time.

Keith Rowe Serves Imperialism →

By Michel Henritzi (2007)

A great album followed by a controversial and interesting essay about the state of improvisation. The album itself was made in collaboration with other artists who could not hear each others’ work.

My favourite is ‘Feedback’ with Bruce Russell.
