3. ANTANAS JASENKA - Boarding Pass_electornic & video (duration: 13 min)
A. Jasenka about the work: My first idea was that this was a 'boarding pass' to nowhere. „Boarding Pass“ is an extension of my sonic atmospheres, based on parallel developments of different musical paths, rich of various combinations of sonic cuts, drills, drones and electroacoustic, digital manipulations, sometimes deeply immersive, although often evolving into intensive sound kaleidoscopes. The jet-man mythology appears in „Boarding Pass“, expanding recent sonic research, realized by complex sound investigations concerning the Man and the Machine.
In the other side i have frequency. We recognize the concept of frequency as the dynamics of processes. We can obtain the interrelation by applying frequencies and regulating them practically. This would mean that all our life is changing whenever we allow this process to develop in all directions simultaneously. This is the dynamics of the unspeakably fast information or events; everything is in action simultaneously. In other words, nothing is everything and everything is nothing... While working with electronic music or noise, i normally do not write scores - the very possibility to record sound in digital domain becomes the score..... I have chosen a sound which contains rhythm, form, and vibration. It is like a plane that can be considered to be a capsule of time storing everything that has been mentioned before...To me an artist is both a human being and a plane...
