Auditory Distortion Synthesis
Superpang return to otoacoustic fuckery with Christopher Haworth’s investigations of the inner ear, after Scott Cazan’s excellent curios in SP148
Landing on ears Otex-ed only last night and giving me a bit of jip right now, the release of ‘Auditory Distortion Synthesis’ is uncannily timed for this set of lugs. Like Cazan’s preceding release, Haworth’s psychoacoustic manipulations of the inner ear’s minuscule bones is probably not for general consumption, but anyone au fait with this form of composition (stemming from doctors’ hearing response tests for babies, and made “musical” by the likes of Maryanne Amacher, Marcus Schmickler or EVOL) will probably appreciate what’s going on here.
Frankly, it’s fucking weird, soberly hallucinatory stuff. Perhaps torture to some, pleasurable to others, the five parts explore variations within the theme, from the mercifully brief, piercing, tintinabulating qualities of ‘ADS 1 (QDT endless)’, thru more sensually playful iridescence of his shredded Shepard tones in ‘ADS 2 (Shepshards and QDT-JI)’, and the stereoscopic whorl of ‘ADS 3 (CDT panning)’, to what sounds like an alien organ recital in ‘Sssssstretch’ and an 8 minute wonder ‘ADS 4 (Correlation Number One)’ where he really makes a virtue of the synthesis method resulting deeply uncanny sort of melodic cadence lurking inside, like we can hear a Pita tune beamed form beyond - weirdos take note!
