Ryoko Akama/Anne-F Jacques — Evaporation (Notice Recordings) Anne-F Jacques/Ryoko Akama — without (Falt)
Tumblr media
Two recent recordings capture the ongoing collaboration between Montreal-based Anne-F Jacques and Huddersfield, UK-based Ryoko Akama, two sound artists who revel in nuanced sound production and an innate affinity for constructing delicate and inherently unstable sound-creating objects. Working with cast-off odds and ends, from DC motors to pieces of wire to lightbulbs to rocks to toy percussion instruments, they fabricate electro-mechanical assemblages with an ear toward sonic instability. Some devices are contact mic’d and amplified while others rely on their volatile acoustic sounds. Experiencing one of their performances is as much about watching the two explore the placement and activation of their objects, observing the devices as they teeter, spin and falter as it is about how they tune the resulting sounds to the ensuing improvisations and the performance space. The two are able to translate those strategies to studio recording as well.
  Evaporation by Ryoko Akama/Anne-F Jacques
Jacques and Akama had previously collaborated on a project called Failed Experiments at the Algomech Festival (Algorithmic + Mechanical Movement) in 2017 where they presented installation/performances using “precarious contraptions made from mundane objects, simple electronics and magnets.” In January 2018, they presented performances in New York and Boston, both of which are captured on Evaporation. Both recordings clock in at around 23 minutes, each unfolding with an unwavering assuredness. “Live in New York, Experimental Intermedia,” performed in Phill Niblock’s loft, commences with quiet clatters that wind their way up to insistently looping scrapes and softly sputtering metallic clinks. There is a physicality that comes through as the patterns continually swerve away from clean repetition. The elemental materiality of abraded surfaces is captured with clear, spatial detail, providing a sense of the sounds shifting in the performance space. The two employ an even-handed patience, letting sounds accrue and sit, purposefully letting layers run out while adding new sounds in. The propulsive wave becomes mesmerizing in all of its metamorphosing striations. About halfway through, a clean tone is introduced, providing a focus as the tingle of bells and the percussive clanking wind down. But even that tone begins to get rasped into a reedy hum as the activity becomes more and more dispersed.
“Live in Boston, Vernon Street Studios” was recorded in the studio of musician and visual artist Morgan Evans-Weiler a week and a half later. Here, things are more restless than the New York set, with disparate sounds and textures moving in parallel, intersecting and breaking apart in continuously unspooling rivulets. Patterns and loops do emerge, but there is of a sense of resolute experimentation that comes through a bit more. That said, the entire set still maintains a clear grasp of an overarching sonic arc by both. They each balance a willingness to let things veer toward the edge of instability while still maintaining a responsiveness toward the collectively evolving improvisation. Here, they let densities and tensions mount as the layers coalesce, moving toward a final wind-down that wraps back around to the jostling trajectory of the opening.
without by Anne-F Jacques/Ryoko Akama
The cassette release Without on the French Falt label takes a very different tact. Here, one side of the cassette is a recording by Anne-F Jacques and the other by Ryoko Akama with each following a score by Akama. The notes suggest listening to both sides at once. While these recordings share the processes and strategies of the live duo recordings, the nature of the recordings are quite different, with each utilizing a different approach to their respective takes. Jacques close-mics her setup moving patiently through sets of mechanical sounds. Using this approach brings out a full range of sonic gradation, from deep bass reverberations to crisp metallic crackles to subtle scuffed textures to low rumbles to the gentle hum of motor oscillations. Across the 13 and a half minute recording, she moves seamlessly from sound source to sound source, creating an intimate, detailed piece. Even here, though, the meticulous detail of the recording captures the unstable nature of the devices she has constructed.  
Akama heads outside for her recording and finger snaps, harmonica, sputtering abrasive sounds, sharp crackles and the ambience of passing cars and bursts of breeze are woven together into a slowly evolving piece. It is difficult to ascertain whether this was all captured in real-time or whether it was constructed in the studio, but the spontaneous flow of the piece makes those distinctions irrelevant. As with Jacques’ recording, Akama moves between sounds and sources, letting the sounds gather and transition with a natural ease over the course of 14 and a half minutes. Following the suggestion of listening to both together, I slapped the two on top of each other to take a listen. As with the live recordings, the parallel activities meld together into a propulsive whole. Even after listening to the separate parts in isolation, the way that the two recordings converge is revelatory. Details pop out of the resulting mix and then dissolve back into the morphing whole. But it is enthralling to hear how effectively moments play off of each other, even having been recorded continents apart. Akama’s recording is a minute longer than Jacques’ and since I synched the two to start together a minute from the end, one can hear the sound-space open up bringing focus on the ambiences that Akama captured. Whether that was planned or a serendipitous outcome, it provides a perfect ending to the long-distance collaboration.

Section: "Did you know that..."
 Lake Louise, named Lake of the Little Fishes  by the Stoney Nakota First Nations people, is a glacial lake within Banff  National Park in Alberta, Canada. It is located 5 km (3.1 mi) west of the  Hamlet of Lake Louise and the Trans-Canada Highway.
Lake Louise is named after the Princess  Louise Caroline Alberta (1848–1939), the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria  and the wife of the Marquess of Lorne, who was the Governor General of Canada  from 1878 to 1883.
Lake Louise from eastern shoreline, facing  west.
The emerald colour of the water comes from  rock flour carried into the lake by melt-water from the glaciers that  overlook the lake. The lake has a surface of 0.8 km2 (0.31 sq mi) and is  drained through the 3 km long Louise Creek into the Bow River.
Fairmont's Chateau Lake Louise, one of  Canada's grand railway hotels, is located on Lake Louise's eastern shore. It  is a luxury resort hotel built in the early decades of the 20th century by  the Canadian Pacific Railway.
Moraine Lake and Lake Agnes are also  accessible from Lake Louise.
Wildlife at Lake Louise
A variety of hiking trails exist around the  lake. Hiking trails include trips to Saddleback Pass, Fairview Mountain  (2,744 m (9,003 ft)), Mirror Lake, Lake Agnes, Big Beehive, Little Beehive,  Devils Thumb, Mount Whyte, and Mount Niblock. Some of these trails are open  to mountain biking and horseback riding, and the surrounding mountain faces  offer opportunities for rock climbing. Kayaking and canoeing are popular  activities during summer, and a boat launch and rental facility are  maintained on the north-eastern shore.
The nearby Lake Louise Ski Area, formerly  known as Lake Louise Mountain Resort, offers amenities for alpine and  Cross-country skiing, as well as heli-skiing and snowboarding. The lake can  be used for ice fishing and ice skating in winter, while the surrounding area  offers settings for snowmobiling, dog sledding, snowshoeing and ice climbing

Revival for the Notekillers, Still Noisy After All These Years
By SARAH GRANT APRIL 14, 2017
David First, in his Brooklyn apartment, led the noise-rock band the Notekillers, who played the New York music scene in the late 1970s and early ‘80s. Credit Demetrius Freeman for The New York Times
Tumblr media
  The student and the teacher faced each other on plain black foldout chairs. It was past 9 on a windy night, and this was David First’s last guitar lesson of the day. The student, Karen D’Ambrosi, a shy 28-year-old marketing manager at Etsy, began strumming one of Mr. First’s electric guitars. He joined in, gently plucking a melody over her chords.
In the next room, Mr. First’s wife, Mira Gwincinska Hirsch, listened in the dark, eating a piece of pumpkin pie. A small table lamp illuminated a jasmine flower in a red vase.
The scene was surprisingly tranquil considering that Mr. First, 63, is something of a lost noise-rock legend. In the late 1970s, his avant-rock band, the Notekillers, performed at clubs that now exist only as urban myths, like CBGB and Hurrah. Their songs were fast, jagged and wordless. They shared stages with volatile performers from Glenn Branca to the Misfits.
Before the lesson, Mr. First sat at his kitchen table with a mug of piping tea, clearly aware that his sedate appearance — cargo pants, button-down shirt, tea — belied his punk credentials.
But evidence of Mr. First’s rock ’n’ roll past abounds in his third-floor walk up in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Every wall seemed to be adorned with a Notekillers concert poster, and the group’s record covers were mounted on bookshelves. Their single, “The Zipper,” turned out to be pivotal for a band that went much further than the Notekillers.
“‘The Zipper’ was one of the Top 10 documents for me at the time,” Thurston Moore, singer and guitarist for Sonic Youth, said in an interview recently. “It was emblematic of the guitar music that inspired me. I mean, this guy was shredding like Hendrix.”
But in those pre-internet days, the Notekillers’ obscurity wasn’t a badge of honor. It was proof to the band that it had failed. One day in 1981, after four years together shuttling back and forth from the Lower East Side to their native Philadelphia, the trio (Mr. First, along with the bassist Stephen Bilenky and the drummer Barry Halkin) took the New Jersey Turnpike home and gave up on the New York music scene.

“We really weren’t connecting with people,” Mr. First said impassively.
Now, more than 30 years after inspiring Sonic Youth, the Notekillers are coming somewhat closer to having a moment.
The past 12 months have been a kind of renaissance for Mr. First, who released two solo records in addition to a new Notekillers album. He has just returned from performing at the Tate Modern in London as part of an exhibition of the experimental artist Phill Niblock. And he just released an album of pop songs, under the name Star Ballads.
“I’ve always thought David was one of the most underrated musicians,” said Kyle Gann, a Bard College professor and composer, who befriended Mr. First after years of covering his live performances for The Village Voice. Mr. Gann’s son, Bernard, formed the metal band Liturgy after taking guitar lessons from Mr. First. (He also plays bass on the Star Ballads record.)
“David’s music is amazing,” said Mr. Gann, who included Mr. First in his book, “American Music in the Twentieth Century.” “It’ll start strangely out of tune and then it just goes haywire in slow and gradual ways. He’s made the hair on the back of my neck stand up many times.”
Recognition was a long time coming, but one day Mr. First woke up and his fate changed.
About 15 years ago, Mr. First got a phone call from Barry Halkin, the drummer in the Notekillers. The glossy British music magazine Mojo published an article about the musicians who inspired the guitar innovations of Sonic Youth. Among more celebrated favorites, Mr. Moore singled out the Notekillers.
“Honestly, I assumed it was a mistake,” Mr. First said. But he sent a note to Mr. Moore, just to double-check.
The astonishment was mutual.
“I was blown away when David emailed me,” Mr. Moore, 58, said with boyish exuberance. Mr. Moore immediately wrote back and offered to release a Notekillers compilation on his own record label.

“For 25 years, I just thought we had no impact,” Mr. First said. “So to find out that we had a major influence — let alone on Sonic Youth — that was pretty huge.”
Mr. First rang his former bandmates to gauge their interest in playing again. The drummer had become a successful architectural photographer. The bassist designed custom-made bicycles.
“I said to them, ‘Maybe the world’s finally ready for us.’”
The compilation Mr. Moore released in 2004 catalyzed the Notekillers’ reunion after 23 years. They released a record in 2010 (“We’re Here to Help”) and another last year, “Songs and Jams Vol. 1.”
The Notekillers — all of whom are 63 — now do gigs at Brooklyn sites with rock bands half their age.
“To think that we’re still doing this at all,” Mr. First said, his voice trailing off. “Not to mention doing it better than we did it the first time, is still unreal to me.”
Mr. First grew up in a middle-class neighborhood in Philadelphia. His parents encouraged him creatively by letting his band, three Grateful Dead-worshiping teenagers (who later became the Notekillers), rehearse in their basement. By 1976, the Notekillers, already entrenched in Philadelphia punk clubs, were drawn by New York’s thriving avant-garde music scene.
But they found the downtown scene was difficult to crack.
“Back then, nobody really knew how to play guitar in a traditional sense,” Mr. Moore said. “And if you did, it was an anomaly.”

Before forming Sonic Youth, Mr. Moore said that his band, the Coachmen, also failed to emerge from the same scene.
By 1984, the Notekillers were over, and Mr. First relocated permanently to Manhattan, working part time as the manager of a cookie store in Midtown. He paid $75 a week to live in a transient hotel, chaining his guitar to his bed before going to work.
A year later, he was laid off from another job, as the manager of an ice cream shop. This was not a setback but a windfall. During six months of paid unemployment, Mr. First finally had time to do music full time, playing solo and with other ensembles he formed. And, critically, he amassed a cadre of students to teach guitar for extra cash when necessary. He never worked a 9-to-5 job again.
As a free musician, Mr. First has flourished. Now he is considered a beacon of futuristic sound among experimental composers.
Though much of his music is heavily electronic, at a recent performance at the Roulette theater in Downtown Brooklyn, Mr. First switched among very traditional acoustic instruments during a suite of improvisations: a crimson sitar, a scalloped-neck electric guitar from Vietnam and a harmonica (just the regular kind). His ensemble partners were equally diverse: a violist, a trombonist and a percussionist.
“People who know me in these contexts would be very surprised to find out I’d been in this crazy rock band,” Mr. First said.
As are his students. Today, Mr. First composes and records from his Greenpoint apartment thanks to an amalgam of creative grants and commissions. Through it all, he has maintained his side gig as a guitar teacher.
Ms. D’Ambrosi, the Etsy employee, asked Mr. First for guitar lessons through a mutual musician friend five years ago. “I remember seeing on Facebook that he was in this band, but we didn’t really discuss it,” she said. “We just play Bob Dylan and Neil Young.”

Taking in a Wintry Landscape at the Lake Agnes Teahouse (Banff National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: This was a view that I'd wanted to see for many a year. Most of the hikes that I've done in the Lake Louise area have been to the Plain of the Six Glaciers. For this trip though, I was determined to make it to Lake Agnes. While there was still quite a bit of snowy areas, thanks to a friend who had on some crampons, we were able to hike all the way and take in these views! For this image, I got down low near the lake edge and tried to capture a view looking across the lake with some nearby reflections. Above that portion was the mountain peaks of the Devil's Thumb, Mount Whyte, and Mount Niblock...and lots of blue skies and puffy clouds.

Banff National Park Agnes Tea House by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: Taking in a Wintry Landscape at the Lake Agnes Teahouse. The original image I captured with my D800E Nikon SLR camera was a place in Banff National Park that I’d wanted to hike to see for many a year. All the hikes in the Lake Louise area that I’d been to the Plain of the Six Glaciers and teahouse, which is definitely amazing! That trip though, a friend and I hiked in the snow up to the Lake Agnes Teahouse and experienced a magical wintry but turning into Spring wonderland. That image can be found online here on Flickr (www.flickr.com/photos/markcstevens/23767483344/in/album-7...). For the digital painting, this was done as a sketch, and then I added colors later in pencil, using Adobe Fresco app on my iPad Pro. I started out sketching how I wanted to lay this out, using the original image as a "scaffolding" to help me along. I considered doing the live brush oil painting brush in the Adobe Fresco app, but something drew me to try out pencils and seeing what I might be able to do with that, especially as the sketching was done with a pencil brush. I practiced many different styles and strokes in order to get that brush like look but not have it look like I was using a pencil. A little right of center In the foreground of the digital painting, you'll find that stick figure image of me "hiking" with my Cubbies hat, truly loving my time exploring Alberta and Canada once again!
