about

Είναι ατέρμονη η συζήτηση μεταξύ των καλύτερων τρόπων δημιουργίας μουσικής. Κάποιοι θα επικαλεστούν καταξιωμένους μουσικούς - δημιουργούς που χρησιμοποίησαν τις μηχανές, άλλοι θα επιλέξουν τη δαιμονοποίηση εκείνων των άμουσων και κουρασμένων τυχάρπαστων. Το πιθανότερο θα μιλάνε για τους ίδιους που έχουν προβληθεί στο σύντομο πέρασμα των καιρών της ηλεκτρονικής μουσικής.
Κυρίως γιατί μας αφορά τι θα γράψει και τι θα πει ο απέναντι συνομιλητής μας, ο παλιός κριτικός ή κάποιο επώνυμο σάιτ με διεύθυνση γραμμάτων κι αριθμών στο διαδίκτυο.

Γιατί όμως να μην αφήσουμε το τυχαίο να καθορίσει κάποια από τα ακούσματά μας; Κι έτσι κατόπιν να το κρίνουμε σαν ένα κομμάτι μουσικής και τέχνης ανεξαρτήτου ποιος και πως το έφτιαξε. Πόσες φορές ακόμα πρέπει κάποιοι να δημιουργήσουν σενάρια υποτιθέμενων πολύωρων και κοπιαστικών δημιουργιών για να κρύψουν το ντροπαλό πρόσωπό τους; Και τι έγινε αν ένα έργο εκτελέστηκε μέσα σε κλάσματα δευτερολέπτου από ένα υπολογιστικό πρόγραμμα; Κάποιος το έφτιαξε κι αυτό. Αρχικά σε χαρτί και με μολύβι. Κάποιος επιμελήθηκε το σύνολο των στοιχείων που τώρα βρίσκεται μπροστά στα μάτια σας και αναρωτιέστε ποια εντολή θα δώσετε στα δάχτυλά σας για να επιλέξετε ανάμεσα σ' αυτούς τους περίεργους τίτλους.
Κάντε μια τυχαία επιλογή!
Κλείστε τα μάτια κι απομονώστε την αίσθηση της ακοής.

The debate between the best ways to create music is endless. Some will refer to renowned musicians - creators who used the machines, others will choose to demonize those dumb and tired bastards. Most likely they will talk about themselves who have been screened in the short passage of time of electronic music.
Mainly because it concerns us what the other interlocutor will write and say, the old critic or a branded site with letters and numbers as an address on the internet.

But why not let chance determine some of our hearings? And so then to judge it as a piece of music and art regardless of who and how made it. How many more times do some have to create scenarios of supposedly long and arduous creations to hide their shy face? And what if a project was executed in fractions of a second by a computer program? Someone made that too. Initially on paper and with pencil. Someone edited all the items that are now in front of your eyes and you wonder what command you will give to your fingers to choose between these strange titles.
Make a random choice!
Close your eyes and isolate the sense of hearing.

Some words by Thomas Park about the giant conception & realization of "et cetera et cetera", a retrospective compilation & demystification of the man and his craft.

"In college, I took a course in which we discussed different ways to write an autobiography. I discovered that there are more and less linear ways to write about one’s past.
When the 1tracktape netlabel requested that I assemble a retrospective of my musical works, this sounded, at first, to be largely an archival task. However, to be clear, I have released a few retrospectives already, including a more recent musical “Biography” on the Aural Films netlabel. These were mostly archival in nature.
I wanted to do something different for Olympus-- I wanted to take a look at the years of music from the eyes of the present. How to do this, exactly? I just so happen to be in the middle of a phase of great experimentation with Generative/Iterative composition.
This is a form of Generative music that takes audio samples, processes them, and assembles them automatically into complete works.
I leveraged my Gen/It chops against my older sounds, breaking my career into 5 main Phases.
One through Four use vintage mystified sounds, in tandem with others. The final Phase is simply the current one, featuring examples of Generative/Iterative of composition.
There is never a dull moment in etcetera etcetera-- everything is from a fresh perspective-- revisited, represented, re-imagined. I hope that you will enjoy listening to these songs, as I have had fun assembling them".
