» Ristretto Press release:
Batch Totem | Trunkeret & Ikonisk [rist07]
'Trunkeret & Ikonisk' consists of 19 audiotracks on a standard 1'44 mb Floppydisk.
The audio is encoded in the GSM 6.10 WAV format at various bitrates. The disk
holds 74 minutes of audio, that can be played on a computer with standard
audio-players like Winamp, Windows Media Player and Itunes without any external
codec installed.
The audio has not been converted from existing material, but composed directly
in the spectral domain, using the GSM format as a chosen timbral limitation.
The aim has not been to fit as much data as possible on a lowlevel medium
as the floppydisk, but rather to explore the musical possibillities inherent
in the specific medium and audioformat. On certain tracks the amplitude and
low bitrates produce 'ghost' frequencies according to the Nyquist theorem,
and the algorithm of the audio codec, meaning that very high frequencies and
white noise can occur at very low bitrates. Using listening equipment with
a subwoofer is recommended.
