Title:  Quatervois: Four-Track Magnetic Tape Arrangements Artist:  Iovae Label:  Zarek Format:  CD Price:  € 13.00   Mp3 samples:   1   2

Title Description:
IOVAE, native of Cincinnati is a true alchemist, working out lo-fi tape collages
and simple four track assemblages. He uses unusual sound sources and layers these into rather dense and industrial etudes of found sound.
Iovae (Ron Orovitz) has been playing with sound in the culturally
insular confines of Cincinnati Ohio since circa 1988. Initially,
tape & turntable manipulations were the medium. Through the 1990s,
more and more unique sound sources were sought to serve as the subject
of developing manipulative techniques. Scientific instruments such as
tone generators became a favorite tool, as well as the fashioning of
various "procussion" instruments (utilizing fire-works). The recordings
herein demonstrate some of these sonic characteristics as composed and
processed stochastically (Xenakis is the inspiration in this
respect) upon a four-track recorder.
