Yair Elazar Glotman is a classically trained composer, contrabass player and sound artist living and working in Berlin. Currently his focus is on experimental electroacoustic composition, sound installations and sound sculptures. In addition, he works as sound designer and composer for film, dance and video art. He’s been releasing music under his own name and his KETEV moniker, we could hear him play the contrabass in ‘Nimbes’, a collaboration with James Ginzburg and he recently released his second full-length album, ‘Études’ on Subtext. We met Yair at Elektronmusikstudion (EMS) in Stockholm, and we had the pleasure to talk about his new album and his special relationship with the contrabass.

Emptyset – Signal

An exclusive premiere here for this extraordinary piece by Emptyset, the British duo of James Ginzburg and Paul Purgas. Signal was recorded live at CTM festival in Berlin earlier this year, and involved taking sine waves and beaming them around Europe in real time, before playing back the distorted results. The audio was fired first to the oldest radio transmission station in the world in Nauen, 40 miles away, and then sent to the French radio base Émetteur d’Issoudun, before being routed back to the concert venue. Along the way, the atmosphere and ionosphere break up the purity of the waves, resulting in the scoured, pulsating mutant you hear here.
