PLOrk: Princeton Laptop Orchestra will premiere my work “Audio Chandelier/TILT” April 24th, 2013
in Princeton. The piece is related to my solo multi-channel work “Audio Chandelier” using granular synthesis of field recordings and close miked sounds dispersed across many audio channels. In this case there is not only one speaker per “grain”, but also one person/laptop in control of it.

Hans Tammen & Zavodniks! Fri, Apr 12, 2013
“Factory (A strike!) Prison (The leader of the strikers is arrested!) Masters of the Universe (Declaration of a lockout!) Ball for the Masters of the Universe (Ending with revolution and victory of the workers!) Stock Exchange. Seizure of the stock exchange by the proletariat, who turn it into a pantheon of work.”
Unsettling, frantic and anti-sentimental, Hans Tammen’s ZAVODNIKS – for whom machine oil is mother’s milk – fuse relentless polyrhythmic machinations with ethereal yet roughly sewn soundscapes, like a mix of Mwandishi, Bitches Brew and Sextant, with a hint of Magma. Dark, sometimes brooding ensemble passages mix and mingle with tightly woven drum-loops, and extended solo cadenzas build up to a mighty hymn to machine work, music of a metallic nightmare.
ZAVODNIKS!
Machine 1: Michael Lytle, Exaltron
Machine 2: Ursel Schlicht, Shoko Nagai
Machine 3: Dafna Naphtali, Lola Regenthal
Machine 4: Jonas Tauber
Machine 5: Andrew Drury, Michael Evans
Hans Tammen – modular, composing, binary conducting
