suffer / enjoy a peculiar cutoff.
Antifrost invited them to create a piece,
the only restriction was to work in a limited bandwidth of 200hz.
Some
notes on the cd:
The challenge to restrict oneself's sound palette to a maximum
bandwidth of 200hz was welcomed by all artists, but after a while and after some
masters were returned to the artists as not meeting the only standard, it became
obvious that this strange discipline was an interesting confrontation for everyone
and the result you are listening to, is the proof of that.
At the same time
the question was not only how to work in this limit but also which limit to use.
Some of the artists found refuge in the low frequencies which provide a richer
palette, but the truth is that at the end, a big part of the sound spectrum was
used in these eleven fragments and -mathematics apart - risks were taken by everyone
in the effort to seek dynamism in no man's land.
Still, the sound professionals
that might listen to this work will find that some tracks have overtones and thus
not operate in the 200hz bandwidth standard.
We want to be clear on this:
This is not a tonal experiment for studio users, nor a tool for frequency analysis
but a flow of sound which needs no reference to technical, procedural or conceptual
levels.
Listeners should listen to this work freed of the technical aspects
of it.
However, since "suffer / enjoy" is a project where all the
artists, work around a common axis, Antifrost feels obliged to include here the
frequency range chosen by each artist and other data such as track titles and
credits.
