Choreograhy of Noise

Henry Gwiazda (b. 1952, silent i) is a composer who specializes in virtual audio, the simulation of a three dimensional sound space in either headphones or precisely positioned speakers. He composes what may be called musique concrète, using samples usually without "tinker[ing]" with them. His most easily available music is on the CD noTnoTesnoTrhyThms, see external link below.

It contains the following compositions:

1. MANEATINGCHIPSLISTENINGTOAVIOLIN (1990)
2. whErEyoulivE (1989)
3. wM (1992)
4. aftergloW (1990)
5. themythofAcceptAnce (1991), Jeffrey Krieger, electronic cello
6. thefLuteintheworLdthefLuteistheworLd (1995), virtual audio-for headphones only, Ann LaBerge, electronic flute
7. Speaker Placement Instructions
8. buzzingreynold'sdreamland (1994), virtual audio-for speakers only

Gwiazda is credited with sound effects, sampler, electric guitar, and voice. He also composed, published, produced, and engineered. Focal Point 3D Audio by Bo Gehring.

* "Gwiazda produces 'animated' audioscapes, oddly situating twisted and chopped real-sound samples . . . combining elements that don't have any clear relationship into compositions of surprising unity." - reviewed in CMJ by Robin Edgerton Douglas Wolk.

From usyukuro space
Gwiazda is most radicalist from innova.mu like David Dunn,Robert Macht.
Innova.mu artists encouraged some Usyukuro artists among late 90 to early00.
His dealing with sampler reminds us Gibsonian Affordance .Inn0va 505::
This is documentaly Act with perception through changing enviroment,
Investigation about immanance in pan-tonality,we think.....
But we think ordinaly people seems no interest in this disc.
Actualy we need concentration about hearing this disc.
HwEvEr ,WeGoTLotOfFuN!-(like Gwiazda letter)


we also got Innova 639 DVD titled "She's walking" from Gwiazda.

This is one of those 'in between' moments.

Henry Gwiazda doesn稚 want to be thought of as a composer anymore; the three animated video works on this DVD may put the kibosh on that once and for all. The former guitar-and-sampler guru has gone anything but Hollywood.

These are sparse Zen studies of everydayness: houses on a suburban street, a downtown outdoor restaurant, or a guitarist practicing in the living room. Just enough sound and gesture to catch your attention without rattling your Cage.

"Theye the most trivial little happenings, and somehow Gwiazda makes us start eagerly anticipating them. What he hopes is, that once we turn away from his art and go back to our lives, we値l take that same attitude to the sensuous details around us. It works for me." [Kyle Gann]

"Perhaps we should focus our attention on the vast majority of time in which we live, those times 'in between' where nothing is going on- those empty spots, while we're waiting for what we believe are the events of our life." [Henry Gwiazda]
