<p>The newest track from Rumori, "Entries", has been released as part of the new compilation from Cached Media, <a contents="FLITR" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://cachedmedia.bandcamp.com/album/flitr">FLITR</a>.</p>

<p>From the label:</p>
<p>flitr is a research initiative by cached.media</p>
<p>this project seeks to explore the fleeting and immaterial nature of music and the mounting and tangible confusion of consumer sound objects as they disintegrate into a hypothetical cultural obsolescence. </p>
<p>recorded sound is a relatively recent invention; before recorded sound music only existed once, in the air, as it moved through time and space. historically, music cannot be held forever on any medium; it's elusive, it's fleeting. </p>
<p>flitr began as a collection of curated samples, a "data set," provided to artists in an open source fashion. </p>
<p>flitr is a digital musical compilation featuring 36 artists implementing those samples with the optional addition of including their own human voice(s) </p>
<p>this digital object itself, a 36 track compilation of research results, is an idea that exists only digitally and doesn’t function apart from simply playing back and becoming air in motion </p>
<p>a representational vibration sequence <br>a content who’s content is data </p>
<p>music is truly intangible <br>flitr seeks to trouble that boundary </p>
<p>explore the non-functional tangible object associated with this release; purchase of this non-functional tangible object includes access to download, not just the digital flitr sequence, but also the samples used. you can use these samples at your whim.</p>Jason Adamstag:soundsbyjason.com,2005:Post/69508972022-03-30T10:00:00-07:002022-04-18T10:21:08-07:00Jason Adams to perform with Marc Merza at Late Breakfast<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/215941/431a8deb04c67acac7b81510762e64ba1f93b942/original/lb-2022-04-10-square-2400x2400.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" />Jason Adams will perform alongside <a contents="Marc Merza" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.marcmerza.com/" target="_blank">Marc Merza</a> for the concert series <a contents="Late Breakfast" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.instagram.com/latebreakfastla/" target="_blank">Late Breakfast</a> at Ham & Eggs Tavern, April 10th, 2022.</p>

<p>Jason Adams, performing under the name <a contents="Rumori" data-link-label="Rumori" data-link-type="page" href="/rumori" target="_blank">Rumori</a> developed <a contents="Deviance" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://rumoricello.bandcamp.com/album/deviance" target="_blank">Deviance</a> from live performances and has really made some amazing music in this album. In the description of the album on BandCamp, the composition of the pieces is described where "Each piece of music works to create its own unique environment, minimal melodies laying a foundation for complex textures and exploration." Each movement follows this structure incredibly well, but they all are so much more complex than the description implies. Pieces like "Shrouded" and "Deviance" emphasize this minimal melody creating significantly more complexity through the polyphonic behaviors of the music. The use of effects also expands on the depth of complexity by allowing expansion into sonic realms the cello cannot reach on its own.</p>

<p>“Kii was about painting with recordings: patching together loops, deconstructing and repurposing those parts, and then recreating them. It led to this place where the highly digital aspects feel just as emotive as the human performance.

<p>“Live Drawing Session” invites you to sit and experience a distance yet visceral butoh performance prayer by divinebrick, Chris Soohoo, and Rumori, transposed into a figure drawing workshop in motion. Through the guidance of Chris SooHoo and haunting soundscapes woven by Rumori (aka Jason Adams), this session offers points of inspiration stemming from movement, video, and sound. It invites watchers to participate in its wholly improvised performance through their own drawing. Create a composite illustration of body in flow. Focus and capture elements of mood and meaning, or just observe and allow the spectrum of dreams to invade your consciousness as you become part of this new collaboration.

<p>The work of the Danketsu group - formerly 9, now 10 - has always revolved around ideas of unity, inclusion and equality. Their latest, completely improvised album titled From a distance, everything shines embodies these ideals; in the subtlety of each contribution, the gentleness of each performer, the willingness to contribute to something greater than each member on their own. The music here is largely graceful, sublime, almost peaceful, and even the more harrowing moments dissolve into a conclusion that's uplifting. The title of the track “ชั่วเจ็ดทีดีเจ็ดหน” is a Thai Buddhist proverb which translates to “Bad seven times, good seven times”. Patrick Shiroishi, the leader of the group, explains that to him this means that “there is something good even in a bad situation.” </p>
<p>'From a distance, everything shines' is the third release of the Danketsu group. As Danketsu 9, they released albums on Never Anything Records and Patient Sounds. This album is their first as Danketsu 10. </p>

Rumori)", along with a music video featuring both artists. The premiere includes an interview with Wolf, as well as praise for the single.</p>
<p>"The song opens with composer and cellist Rumori’s breathtaking solo. As the song progresses, it feels almost as if the listener is inside a cave, scraping to get out. Wolf’s voice is a hand reaching down into the dark, grasping for a lost soul; their voice pulses angelically, creating ripples against the wooden timber of Rumori’s cello."</p>

<p>Danketsu 10 has announced their newest album, <em>From a distance, everything shines</em>, to be released 8/21 on cassette and digital platforms via <a contents="Warm Winters Ltd." data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://warmwinters.ltd/" target="_blank">Warm Winters Ltd.</a> Listen to an excerpt from the 32-minute improvised live performance at the above player.</p>
<p>Danketsu 10 is Jason Adams (cello), Kelly Coats (flute), Dylan Fujioka (accordion & percussion), Noah Guevara (guitar), Pauline Lay (violin), Ken Moore (double bass), Amber Navran (clarinet & tenor saxophone), Patrick Shiroishi (suona & alto saxophone), Mallory Soto (voice), Ang Wilson (flute).</p>

<p>The work of the Danketsu group - formerly 9, now 10 - has always revolved around ideas of unity, inclusion and equality. Their latest, completely improvised album titled 'From a distance, everything shines' embodies these ideals; in the subtlety of each contribution, the gentleness of each performer, the willingness to contribute to something greater than each member on their own. The music here is largely graceful, sublime, almost peaceful, and even the more harrowing moments dissolve into a conclusion that's uplifting. The title of the track “ชั่วเจ็ดทีดีเจ็ดหน” is a Thai Buddhist proverb which translates to “Bad seven times, good seven times”. Patrick Shiroishi, the leader of the group, explains that to him this means that “there is something good even in a bad situation.”</p>

<p>I’m happy to share this interview with <a contents="Jason Adams" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://soundsbyjason.com" target="_blank">Jason Adams</a>, an artist who is involved in a lot of great stuff in Los Angeles and shows no signs of slowing down. Currently, he keeps himself busy as a sound engineer, composer, one-half of uneasy techno duo, <a contents="Chollas" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://chollas.bandcamp.com" target="_blank">Chollas</a>, and finally, the brains behind beloved monthly DTLA experimental music series, <a contents="Late Breakfast" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://instagram.com/latebreakfastLA" target="_blank">Late Breakfast</a>. It would seem incredibly daunting were it not for Jason’s clearheaded approach to all of it. </p>
<p>When you have your hands in as many projects as Jason does, you really have to be intrepid and curious - intrepid with regard to making mistakes, and curious in order to look at how those mistakes might shift or create relationships between your efforts. As Jason notes, it can be hard to draw a linear trajectory through different creative experiences, but each of them is crucial to where you end up. </p>
<p>I asked Jason the same questions I ask everyone - I need to know what people are afraid of and how they deal with their hangovers! - but also touched on his experiences within both electronic and classical music realms. I’m grateful to be able to share my discussion with this creative powerhouse with you. Enjoy it, and visit the embedded links - the cello sketches are especially gorgeous. </p>
<p>KP: What can you share about your creative trajectory? How did you get to your current creative life and who/what are your biggest influences? </p>
<p>JA: I work as a sound engineer and composer, so I'm lucky that my job informs and is part of my creative life. Over the years I've worked in recording studios, television & film, radio, live venues, and a label & artist management company. Tracing a trajectory between all of those is a little daunting, but whether they felt like it at the time or not, each of those gigs and jobs was crucial to getting to where I am now. </p>
<p>Some positions helped me hone the skills that I use for my career and my creative pursuits, others taught me how to do ancillary work such as social media or promotion. Most importantly, every single one has connected me to incredible and talented people who I look to as influences (and close friends). But my biggest influence right now is minimalism - the more I pare things down, the better the end result. (...maybe I should try that with interviews, too?) </p>
<p>KP: Can you talk about time you were afraid to fail (with regard to creative efforts) and/or a time that you did? How did you bounce back? </p>
<p>JA: On one of my early gigs as a composer for a short film, the director gave me some artists as reference points that I considered to be...uninspired. So I ignored her guidelines and set off to do something completely different. I obsessed over it, worked all night for a few days in a row until I came up with something I thought was unique and great, and finished the whole score in that vein without checking in. And the director hated it. I had to redo every single cue in a third of the time I would have had otherwise. The upshot is I learned four huge lessons from a single project: don't get attached to your first ideas, give multiple options at once, check in frequently and early to see if you're going in the direction they want, and pay attention to what they're asking for. I applied these to my next score and finished it with a lot less stress, a lot more sleep, and a much happier director. </p><!-- more -->
<p>KP: What motivates you? </p>
<p>JA: I'm motivated by the desire to get better, to improve myself and the things I create. There will never be the perfect show, or perfect song, or perfect mix, but every time you do something is a chance to develop. Sometimes it seems like self-improvement is the only thing that's actually in our control. </p>
<p>KP: What terrifies you or inspires vulnerability? </p>
<p>JA: Seeing people's eyes while performing or listening to something I've made is so unnerving to me. I could play to a packed hall of silhouettes and be ok, but put me in a well-lit room with two people staring intently at me and I become a total wreck. </p>
<p>KP: How do you perceive and navigate the relationship between your classical work and that in electronic music? </p>
<p>JA: My classical background intersects my electronic music in weird ways, beyond the clear-cut comprehension of chord voicing and progression. It provides strong foundation for understanding how elements work with each other in a piece of music, wanting different synths or percussive elements to perform the sonic duties of, say, a violin section, or a brass section. I've used classical compositional structures for techno, sometimes intentionally and sometimes not. (You can find a lot of similarities between sonata form and a typical techno floor track!) </p>
<p>But one of my favorite aspects of working with Philip Meyer on Chollas is that he has no formal musical training, and because of that, he's able to react very instinctually to the creative process. That takes him to very different places than I'd go by myself. If the two of us write basslines, for instance, I'm always gravitating towards something melodic, whereas he generally creates a one or two note pattern. Chollas is always a push and pull between our two styles, though I think Phil ends up being right more often that not. </p>
<p>It goes the other way, too - in my cello material and musical scores that I've written since delving into electronic music, I've tried to focus more on manipulating sparse elements instead of fixating on grand, sweeping melodies or intricate counterpoint. I think it's less forceful and shows appreciation for the way the brain works. Instead of "you're going to feel sad because I'm laying on the minor chords right now", it's "here's a few things that relate to each other - I've changed one of them slightly, how does that change their relationship? What if I now tweak this other element, what does that do?" I'm trying to let the listener and the performer provide their own interpretation and context in a way I never tried to before. It's been so much more rewarding for me. </p>
<p>KP: What is your favorite hangover cure? </p>
<p>JA: The shrimp cocktail from El Siete Mares on Sunset (seriously next level), a horchata, and several cups of coffee. </p>
<p>KP: What are your goals for the upcoming year? </p>
<p>JA: I'd like to release an EP for my experimental cello project, finish another Chollas EP, and have a big blowout show for the one-year anniversary of Late Breakfast. </p>
