about

'sustenance' by Alan B. Brock-Richmond is an investigational abstract symphony of a family meal. Two contact microphones placed on opposite ends of a glass table provide the stereo field for this recorded work, capturing the intricate orchestral tones, unique percussion, and irregular meters of flatware, utensils, beverages, serving dishes, meal contents, and conversation. These tones are accentuated through careful and extensive use of delay, reverb, and other effects, thus sustaining their clear and complex characteristics and constructing chords and drones of rich harmonies, modulations, and other such compositional elements. These elements are further abstracted and processed through sample waveform editing and suspension, granular synthesis, frequency modulation, side chain gating, and filter envelopes, which allow for fundamental frequencies and harmonics articulation and emphasis. This 23 minute work is comprised of three movements, beginning at 0:00, 4:00, and 19:40.

This work is released in participation of an exhibition, FOOD the exhibit, to benefit the Sequim Food Bank. To celebrate the exhibition opening and this new release, this track will be available for free download (soundcloud.com/audioeins) with request and appreciation for donations of any amount to be given directly to the Sequim Food Bank through their website, sequimfoodbank.org/giving/give-money. Thank You.
