frank bretschneider's new project »sinn + form« (meaning and form) is based on the idea of a fundamentally chaotic world as we know it from mathematical or physical theories and models (dynamical systems, probability theory, stochastic systems), and the constant attempt of man to recognize this world and to describe, predict, control and change it.
musically, this system is simulated electronically using a modular synthesizer system. various modules produce a constant flow of randomly generated data that modulate the decisive musical parameters (pitch, note length, volume, tone).
the material was recorded in july 2014 at EMS, stockholm's elektronmusikstudion, using the buchla and serge analogue synthesizer systems and will be out on raster-noton in early 2015.
