about

A live coded performance using Tidal Cycles, bringing together real-time synthesis and audio sampling. With allusions to both Steve Reich's "Come out (to show them)" and the sizzling drive of Basic Channel's "Enforcement", this work of electro-minimalism thrusts the listener into frenzy of alphabet sounds. Letters are harnessed to encode a message. Although hard to uncover, I. C. U. trying. Listen for sounds by the Donald (Trump), Ellie (The Last of Us), and others.

D. Andrew (dndrew) Stewart is a composer, pianist and digital musical instrumentalist. A convergence of acoustic and electroacoustic instrumental praxis is at the centre of Stewart's oeuvre. His music is dedicated to exploring composition and performance for new interfaces for musical expression by adapting and evolving traditional praxis. Stewart's work asks whether musical idea – concept, theory, material, technique and means – has kept pace with developments in digital lutherie.
