Alpha Live

This recording of ‘Alpha’ was performed on the 5th of May at the E82 Entr’acte record release event. The recording is a 21-minute performance made with digital sound files from the original electronic work.Lee Gamble,John Wall Piers Martin, Shelly Parker , Oliver Fay,Sheikh Ahmed and Filter Feeder all participated in this event.

Alpha Live to Digital Release

The original work Alpha was composed around metaphors of transformation and the ether. Based on the work of Donna Harrway’s Cyborg Manifesto Alpha strives to create a meta-body in digital sound. To release this live recording through the internet seemed a natural musical and media progression.
These files are available in uncompressed pure audio. This ensures all sonic and spatial qualities are kept extremely close to the original performance. The files are also available for people to share and edit.

Many Thanks to Entr’acte and all who came on that night.
