Unison

Released on the netlabel con-v.org
The basic idea for unison is the phenomenon of binaural tones. When the distance between congruence frequencies is changed, pulsations occur.
Here, dutch artist Christian Toonk uses a self build instrument based on sinewave oscillators and feedback loops. The output is rewired to the input and provides a somewhat unpredictable datastream, by means of creating an opponent to interact to as in collaboration. Unison is an improvisation with sinewaves. Although a technical approach, an emotive quality is pursued. (nov2005)
