ROBERT CURGENVEN (CD)

Many Ice cream vending machines have a touch screen front door. Most ice Cream vending machines have coin changers, and bill stackers. Generally, ice cream vending machines are decorated with striking accessories such as logos, side covers, hub caps etc.

After some years working and making field recordings in remote Northern and Central Australia, a year in Germany, from late July 2004 to July 2005, initiated a return to the piano for Robert Curgenven. Robert’s approach to piano found form in moments of sustain, release and confluent tensions, sans attack, and structure in the fundaments of his clear and personal field recordings. Unprocessed, spacious and minimal, yet full and evocative: atemporal,spaces juxtapose resonances within smaller man-made architecture; overtones within a grand piano merge and move with the harmonics of landscapes’ topologies.
