The Semantics of Redaction (Klein) [2014]

from sacrificial zones: chamber music XI [2014] by Lindsay Vickery

/

about

The Information Revolution brought brought with it what seemed at first to be a greater openness of information. It appears increasing redaction of information is the new direction for global media: be it “the right to be forgotten” by Google or the blank pages of the shooting incident report for Ferguson resident Michael Brown. In the semantics of redaction the performer loads a recording of a topical news item into a scoreplayer which both renders and redacts it asscrolling notation. Musical “stems” and “noteheads” are generated to correspond with accents detected in the recorded speech and the noteheads are colour-coded to represent timbres. The notation is also sometimes obscured by large black “redactangles” and accompanying sonic bleeps. The work was written for and is dedicated to Vanessa Tomlinson.
