about

interXection for Drum Kit and Ring Modulator was made for Tissue Culture & Art’s film Pig Wings (2003), in which they speculated: ‘the rhetoric surrounding the human genome project and xenotranplantation made us wonder if pigs would fly one day and if they will what shape their wings would take.’

The physical project used ‘differentiated bone marrow stem cells to grow pig bone tissue in the shape of the three solutions for flight in vertebrates.’ The music set out to highlight the analogy of the microphone as an audio microscope by magnifying barely audible sounds from the drum kit and processing them through a Ring Modulator. The intention was that the Ring Modulator would bring the source sound’s component harmonics into relief in a way that is analogous to a colour imaging microscope’s rendering of biological samples.

An overarching structure is used to independently control a number of parameters including the percussionist’s tempo, roll speed, instrument, mallet type, accent, dynamics, rest position and length and the vertical and horizontal coordinates of the microphonist’s mic in relation to the percussionist’s current instrument.
