While performing at Tate Museum London, earlier this year,Akufen played exclusively "Music for preganncy" tracks , an upcoming LP on oral
US electronic sound experimentalist Akufen is to headline the next electronic music event to be held at the Tate Modern on Saturday 10 May. The events, designed to explore the contemporary edge of digital music, are a part of 'user_mode' series. Akufen, aka Montreal based Marc Leclair, uses 'microsampling', found sounds and samples sourced from radio to create a textural soundscape that has seen his fan base cross-over to click house enthusiasts and gained him recognition from Massive Attack - who asked him to remix their last single, 'Special Cases'. His latest project is a nine-piece composition called 'Music for Pregnancy'...Selections of this will be played at Tate Modern. It will be released this summer on Montreal label, oral... Akufen will be joined by London based vinyl composer and audiOh label head Janek Schaefer, creator of the The World's Most Versatile Record Player and New York based Golan Levin - who amongst other things constructs music by telephoning his audience's mobile phones. Saturday 10 May, 20:00 - 22:00, Starr Auditorium, Level 2, Tate Modern, Bankside London
---------------------------------------
The latest in a strand of electronic music events at Tate Modern will continue to explore the contemporary face of digital music, through performances by leading electronic musicians and performers, Akufen (Canada), Janek Schaefer (UK) and Golan Levin (USA). This music event complements the international symposium, user_mode, which examines emotional engagement within interactive art and design... In tandem with its exploration of the emotional dimension of electronic music, this performance event will show ways that interactive techniques can dissolve the boundary between musician and listener, artist and spectator, and producer and user.
Akufen is the main musical project of Montreal based electronic musician, Marc Leclair. The name Akufen is taken from the phonetic spelling of the French word for tinnitus. Leclair's music incorporates found sounds and samples sourced from radio, and he has been instrumental in the creation of "microsampling". His methodology is to uncover the emotive properties of sound artefacts by removing them from their original context. He has released recordings on some of the most influential electronic labels in Europe and North America, including, Revolver, Trapez, Perlonand oral. Though Leclair counts Phillip Glass and Steve Reich amongst his early inspirations and influences, the humorous possibilities of sound remain a relevant, flavour-enhancing element in Leclair's productions. He comments: "I prefer the playful approach, almost coming from the cartoon aesthetic". His latest project is a nine-piece composition called Music for Pregnancy. Selections of this will be played at this concert at Tate Modern. With several of his female friends becoming pregnant at roughly the same time, this work is intended as a meditation on the process of childbirth. It will be released on Montreal label, oral.
