Has anyone hear the Trurl and Klapacius (Cristian
Vogel) cd? I was curious what it's like.
TRURL AND KLAPACIUS - Sing Sweet Software! [SUPREMAT]
CD "Trurl and Klapacius are robots. In Stanislav
Lem's Cyberiad mid-60?s novel, they?re busy flying
around the universe building machines. Each machine
they build makes up a chapter from this visionary
book. Cristian Vogel was reading these stories while
celebrating his hobby in the studio: recording the
variation of modules of modular systems he programmed
himself -- modulating each other for periods of time.
The result is music that does not evolve, it?s
varying. Borrowing the names of Lem?s robots in
reference to his own automated studio work, the Vogel
experiment turned into a project when he picked his
favourite musical modules -- computers and their
software -- and let them go to work on their own. In
his own eyes, he?s not the composer of the work so
much as the executive producer. The computer itself
rather -- the software within -- wrote the music:
Vogel?s contributions filtered and edited the final
outcomes. This parallel to Cyberiad?s Trurl And
Klapacius sidelines and highlights the Supremat
philosophy: Machines constructing machines; machines
creating music that?s constantly varied and
reinventing itself."
