Far from the extended still lifes and mises en abîmes of their acclaimed Penultimate Press debut A Sunset for Walter, Noetinger & Pateras' 15 Coruscations weaves frequencies and stirs data into an agitated series of deft psychoacoustic miniatures. Employing electronics as a deformed mirror reflecting joyous lacerations and interweavings, 15 Coruscations borrows from both brut and skilled musical practices, emerging from the current despair to blister light across the moribund horizontalities of post-surveillance musical product. Jérôme Noetinger (Marseille, 1966) is one of the most respected composers/performers of electronic music working today. Discovering the ReVox B77 as a powerful tool for live electro-acoustic creation in the mid-1980s, he has developed a singular performance language unmatched in agility and invention. Anthony Pateras (Melbourne/Naarm, 1979) works at an evolving nexus of notation, improvisation, electro-acoustics + keyboard instruments. Active since the late '90s as both a composer of concert music and independent bandleader, he has created a unique body of work across multiple genres and contexts. Noetinger & Pateras' working relationship began in 2009 in the Thymolphthalein quintet, extending through to the development of the six-channel tape part for Pateras' percussion sextet Beauty Will Be Amnesiac Or Will Not Be At All (Immediata, 2017). Establishing their duo in 2018 with A Sunset For Walter, they have performed across Europe in both piano/tape and pureelectronic configurations. 15 Coruscations is their latest testament to their quest for the unheard, deploying tape, computer, samplers, garbage, environmental recordings, lo-fi electronics, hi-fi circuitry and a deep love of all things concrète.
