Robert Henke (aka Monolake),

co-creator of Ableton Live,

performs Dust as part of ISSTA 2019

Dust is a slow and intense exploration of complex textural sounds, shredded into microscopic particles, and pulsating interlocking loops, recomposed during a improvised performance.

The sources are leftovers of digital processes, material created with old analoge synthesisers, noises of all colours and flavours, field recordings; splashing waves from a shingle beach, captured on site in Australia, a massive storm, steam from my Italian coffee maker, crackles from the lead-out groove of a worn record, hum and electrical discharges from a large transformer, collected over several years, and refined and deconstructed in various ways.
