DAWN (2020)
Aurality -20°10’45.3176” -044°04’01.4329” is an array of sonic encounters that floats and wavers above the pliable junction of experimental electronics and field recording research.
The first release by French artist Niko de Paula Lefort (also known as nikoLFO) for Famous Grapes Recordings reflects on the relationship between bioacoustics and harmonic space; it explores the effects of Time Lag Accumulation, a tape looping technique developed by Terry Riley and Pauline Oliveros through their pioneering work in the 1960s.
For the visuals, distortion and lo fi retro quality play a key part in the compositing performance. The images are processed with analogue video synthesizers from unedited images from Nature recorded in Croatia by Monaí de Paula Antunes and Silvia Noronha. Oceans, Forests and the Sunlight are the main source of our inspiration.
DAWN is their second collaboration together.
