EK 002FLEXI
|
Scale and Scope is a set of four colored flexidisc records, each containing an instantiation of an in dividual microtonal designer scale, developed by Stefan Goldmann. The four discs are housed in a printed cardboard portfolio. The flexidisc medium plays like a vinyl record, but is inherently noisier and tends to exhibit more signal disruptions than conventional vinyl. Expect occasional clicks, crackle and other variations, which differ substantially from copy to copy. These make each set unique.

For its first publication, Edition Kymata has commissioned a five-part long-form work from Stefan Goldmann. This exposé to an incorporeal spatial structure captures infinite reverb responses to five carefully designed immersive spaces. Building on his earlier reverb-only work Call and Response (ASH 13-9CD, 2022), the capacity of reverberation to enable the experience of impossible architecture is further explored -- possibly in its clearest form to date. The five zones of intangible aural sensibility compiled in this box set range from soothing to menacing, inviting to a unique critical listening situation in which the listener's perception is the dynamic side of the exchange while the stimulus persists in profound permanence. The properties of the five enclosures -- boundless in the time domain, distinct in their spatial characteristics -- reveal themselves completely and can be precisely described in statistical data, allowing for multiple levels of access: a brief visit, long-term contemplation, exclusive ownership. Stefan Goldmann is an electronic music composer based in Berlin, Germany. Edition Kymata is a publishing house for audio arts with a focus on the study of first principles.
