Artist Statement:
From Here to Another Time features Postcommodity artists Kade Twist and Cristobal Martinez using a prototype of their purpose-built sound-engine for a forthcoming project called Cosmovisión. These recordings document Postcommodity performing unusual duets using earcons associated with sounds that reflect the places they are from (like a Kit Fox and Sonic Boom). With their sound engine the artists use granular synthesis techniques to tell a set of short stories that underscore their experiences growing up in Bakersfield, California and Alcalde, New Mexico. The recording reveals a curious, peculiar, urgent, and personal exploration of land, culture and community. Postcommodity believes that this “instrument” enables its performers the opportunity to collaboratively engage in symbolic exchange and the intersubjective negotiation of meaning.
