Artist Talk
Hans Tammen talks about his 25+ experience with live sound processing, first with his interactive Endangered Guitar project, then processing all sorts of reeds & brass, strings and string quartets, percussion, other’s guitars, prepared piano, poets & voices, large ensembles; but also a tabla machine, an empty church, suitcases, tarot card decks, sound sculptures, sound-emitting lightbulbs, the ripping of paper, and more. Not to forget suitcases!
Until recently this has been done using custom computer software, but, coming back to playing guitar again, he has recently moved some of his favorite processes onto guitar pedals. He'll discuss his experience programming the Electrosmith Daisyseed using Max/MSP's gen~.
Bio
Hans Tammen is just another worker in rhythms, frequencies and intensities. He likes to set sounds in motion, and then sit back to watch the movements unfold. Using textures, timbre and dynamics as primary elements, his music is continuously shifting, with different layers floating into the foreground while others disappear. This flows like clockwork, “transforming a sequence of instrumental gestures into a wide territory of semi-hostile discontinuity; percussive, droning, intricately colorful, or simply blowing your socks off” (Touching Extremes).
Hans Tammen is currently teaching at School of Visual Arts, Hunter College and NYU. From 2001 to 2014 he worked at Harvestworks Digital Media Art Center in NYC, where he was responsible for the Client Services, Education and Artist In Residence program, helping countless digital media artists through completion of their works. As an arbitrator at BTQ in the 1990s, he spent a decade advising unions about electronic monitoring and surveillance at the workplace, and negotiating contracts and agreements to minimize surveillance aspects. He received his undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Kassel, studying on a stipend from Friedrich Ebert Foundation.
