The Redactions (2015-2020) were an exploration of ideas surrounding the extraction of "peaks," or "transients" from geographically & thematically relevant audio materials given each particular realization or performance. The outcome took a number of stylistic forms from classic Musique Concrète to poly-rhythmic chaos to soundscapes derived from the timings inherent to natural environments. 

After years of performing computer music & with variable hardware analogue / digital modular synthesizer setups, I had decided to again explore the merging of the two via the Expert Sleepers modules connecting Max-MSP & a Hybrid Digital / Analogue Eurorack Modular Synthesizer via Optical ADAT connection.

Hinging on the topographies of the"Occlusions" & "Generators" systems, it's the most complete performance solution I've come up with to date; very much a live performance work, generally performed in Quad, although stereo performances have more commonly been given.

The piece made its debut in recorded form in a “Private” lathe-cut edition for Laura & Mark Cetilia’s Estuary Ltd. before an early variant was issued by the storied Dalston venue Cafe Oto’s Otoroku series the following year. It was revisited multiple times during the 2020 “Hi-Res AUDIO” cassette program (H-RA 004; “[GRM] Redactions”, then H-RA 007; “Contemporary Drummer [Redactions]” w/ the former also arriving on LP in late 2022 via Koshiro Hino’s Nakid).
