about

This album is part of the Communal Music series. AEMC created this ongoing experiment as an exploration of the usage of audio sources, the methodology of experimental ambient composers and sound in general.

Beforehand, each composer contributed audio - recorded instruments, field recordings, analog synthesizers, etc - resulting in a collective sample pack. The composers then had to translate this audio material to a musical composition. They weren’t allowed to add anything, so each composition is made with the same audio material.

It is striking to hear how the audio is interpreted, used and contextualized differently by the individual composers and how diverse and unique the compositions are. This clarifies the agency of the creators: they - not the audio - make the music. On the other hand, the audio sources demarcate a certain musical terrain, similar as to the limits of an acoustic instrument.

Above all, the Communal Music series is a celebration of experimental music and the collaboration between - often underappreciated - artists.

***All proceeds will go to the Black Lives Matter Global Network***
***EDIT: on 12-10-2020, AEMC donated 200$ to the Black Lives Matter Global Network, thank you all for your support. Donations are no longer possible and the album is downloadable for free! ***

Due to recent events - such as the killings of Stephon Clark, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd - AEMC feels the need to contribute to the fight against racial inequality, police violence against black people and racism in general. Although the above mentioned events are the reason behind this project, they are not the main issue here. Systematic racism is still very much embedded in our society and equality is still not realized.

AEMC wants to support the mission of the BLM movement to create "a world free of anti-Blackness, where every Black person has the social, economic, and political power to thrive". (source: blacklivesmatter.com/what-we-believe/)
