The Garden of Incorrigible Bicycles - (Premiere)
by Iñaki de Ahorcarte
Iñaki de Ahorcarte on his piece 'The Garden of Incorrigible Bicycles':
This piece was produced with sounds made by my bicycle itself and the sounds made when my bicycle interacted with the elements; the startup sound of my synthesizer; and the sound bank of an old sound called Fiona Brion. My dilapidated bicycle and its worn out parts react to the changes in climate (in this case the cold.) I recorded the noises made by the rear wheel, pedals and the chain and then put them through different filters and processes. I played all of the recorded sounds using Midi. I later added the synthesizer’s startup sound to the mix and worked with it on Midi until I arrived at a place I found interesting. To finish, I added little melancholic tunes with Christmas character via Midi, still using the old sound of Fiona Brion, improvising it all.
Iñaki Muñoz de Ahorcarte was born in Santiago, Chile in 1980. He is an alumnus of Arcis University where he studied graphic design. He evaluates, destroys and rebuilds the meanings of things from his daily life, accepting the existence of error and imperfection in his improvised and notorious existence. The language of music, writing, painting and video allow him to create and destroy the elements at work in his life. He has exhibited his work locally as well as internationally, collaborating with Chilean surrealist groups such as Derrame and Sonámbula, members of the surrealist universe of Latin America. He has also participated in two international surrealist exhibits: one in Coimbra, Portugal (2008) and Santiago, Chile (2009). In 2008 and 2010, he participated in two Festivals FOBIA (formula básica en imagen audio)
