Hello
I think of you, of what you are going through in this period of
confinement. as I think about the stillness, this planetary sharing of a crisis
situation. How is it going with you? how are you spending this singular time?
Artist, is it a time to relax, to reflect? Are you on the contrary in a (new?)
Production phase?
I’m curious to know if this period affects your imagination? If the
crisis is an inspiration? How do you react artistically to our uncertain
future? More generally, how do you see the artist’s contribution to solving the
crises that are shaking the planet? Will we be different once the effects of
the health crisis have dissipated? I hope you have time (!!!!) to answer me. I
have time to read you.
Love you. Take care
Ah !!!!! If ever « they" should put as much efforts to

I wasn’t feeling very well this past month but I am with more energy and
a bit of inspiration now, a lot of reflecting and experimenting in my

Dear Jen Reimer
I hope all is well on your side
Sorry for my silence: we were in the south on a desert island and no one
told us there would be no internet. Back, and in confinement, I resume, tanned,
work (!!!!): it feels good (!)
We need to develop new frameworks for creation and distribution. There
are about ten proposals on my table so far, which is good for a series. Radio
transmission is for sure one key of communication, old technology, new
application.
Have you developped on that idea of Micro FM Radio? Is that Live, on the
Internet. I have great connexions with Internet Radios, this could be a match
for one part of transmitting…
I would like to
apply to CALQ for this project before the end of the year, if possible the next
few weeks.
It would be necessary to define in a paragraph the mandate that you give
yourself, present the mode of creation then distribution, send me a brief
budget (that I would study, that we would confirm), a CV and links to similar
works if possible ( here it will not be possible but audio ?, a sketch?)
Hoping to hear from you, know that I am going, filled with happiness
after our stay under the coconut trees, to put my energy in the next few days
to this project.
Hello Eric,
Since the beginning of COVID, and being
quarantined at home, I’ve been listening to the so-called ‘silence’ of my
surroundings and discovering the depth of sound it contains. I’ve been spending
a lot of time listening to the sound of the rooms in my home; outside my window
and walking to more desolate places along the tracks to listen and record. As I
listen attentively to my surroundings, seemingly static noises and tones reveal
themselves to be rich and complex, a network of frequencies and
overtones. Through this practise of embodied listening, I am more connected
to the spaces I inhabit, I am more present. I propose to create a performance
in a reverberant space (a tunnel for instance). The performance will emerge
from silence, and grow in response to the surrounding acoustic environment into
a massive sound, an accumulation of resonances. The composition will be
generated on site with field recordings collected from inside the space, live
recording and live processing in pure data. Due to the intimate nature of the
performance, and COVID restrictions
considered, I imagine only a few people there at a time to experience it,
perhaps it could happen over a longer duration so that small groups can come
and go.

Do you want to check if this is still the project to be carried out, is its

Budget, I have an almost
balanced budget, in relation to the amount obtained, which gives in the current
state:
a departure fee of
1250. This is for being IN, everyone gets it.
150, to make it all
as you wanted
a fee of $ 150 +
Taxes for a short distance interview with me.
A fee of 150$ for
an assistant
50$ for
transportation
Then keep the
bills. For now, there can be no budgeted events, but if you have to, I have a
little personal cushion of $ in case of deseperate needs.
There is also
always the hope of receiving a grant from the CAC,in which case we will adjust
in particular for the Internet radio-Internet broadcasting part.
We can communicate at any time and think of traces to inform our auditors
and for dissemination. I will need this to put the 14 projects together into
one set.
Please communicate with me, and participate in this project with the

Félix-Antoine Morin
Martin
Rodriguez
Mathieu
P. Lapierre
Nady
Larchet
Samuel
Thulin
Vincent
Thériault.
My project:
The Loudest Tone is a project that explores the complexity of silence
through a methodology of embodied listening, field recording and audio
processing in Pure Data. I propose to develop an improvised performance and
audio work in a remote reverberant space in Montréal (TBA). The
performance will emerge from the silence of the space and grow in response to
the surrounding acoustic environment into a massive sound. The composition will
be generated on site with field recordings and microphones placed strategically
around the space and live processing in Pure Data. I will develop programming
in Pd to generate music that responds to the environment in real time. I will
shape the sounds through bringing out certain tones, frequencies and textures
that accumulate over time. The performance will be amplified via 2-4 portable
battery-powered PA speakers. Due to the remote and intimate nature of the
performance, only a few people will gather on site. It will be recorded and
streamed online as a way to share with a wider audience.

Hi Eric! I’ve been thinking
about this – I like the idea of composing 1 more audio work and then eventually
releasing it – but I don’t think a vinyl could be finished in time for this
exhibit. Many manufacturers are taking 6 months to make an LP right now. For
the box idea: I could get a very limited-edition CD made that includes
photos, and I could hire my friend to help design it. I think this kind of
object could be finished in time for the exhibit. What do you think? I do like
the idea of having an object rather than putting the audio work on a USB key,
but I am open to other ideas you may have… For the event: I could hang a
photo/poster, I’m also
considering performing the piece live… or, simply amplifying the piece. We
can talk more about this after I return from my trip after July1. I hope you
are having a good trip…

Hi Jen. Just a resume of

on that issue: jacket layout, graphic design, number of copies, pressing

work. I am awaiting his answer if he is still available to work with me.

will be part of a listing of Manual tracks which will
be played at Produit Rien from Sept 6 to 12
(11!), not sure exactly yet about the sound system (headphones or room?) Will
you be around? Would you like to make a presentation, an audio diffusion, or be part of a
kind of friendly panel? The audio track will also be accessed thru a headphone
Jack on a Raspberry Pi installed in a knitting box I bought which I see as our
travelling Manual. I am thinking
about Printed Cards for each project
with links to the Internet files. Maybe also a 6×9 poster of some dimensions
I must think about. Is that OK with you? A diffusion fee will be
available, amount will be determined by the various interventions each artist
may do these days. All the best to you. Keep me updated on your project.

Hi Eric, nice to hear from

exhibition – a poster sounds great and
listening to the work on headphones would work well. I could also be into a

Hey Eric, I could do a kind

The paradox here is: you can’t do 50 CDS, it then must be CDrs. This is
not expensive. Few dollars each with Black Texts or graphic on silver surface.
Can’t be fully black then. But Jackets can depend on what you desire. This is
the key question: what kind of Jacket you want. At end if all is customs, with graphic honorariums of 400 it will be an expensive release.

Hi Eric, I liked the black

This is not a question of what I can afford in the budget. It is first

for numbers.
so far collaborators to any other Manual projects have been
paid 300 dollars, may I say their contribution was much more than a so simple
design or a 4 »5 x4 »5 Jacket recto verso. For the Jacket, I would like to
print at ADC, where I will print the postcards and posters. It can be more
complicated. than my simple Jacket which is now assembled not printable. ADC
can print and assemble more complicated Jackets or re-do this one with your

Printed text or graphic Black on Silver (may not be masses of black but
lines, texts…) Simple Black simple Jacket: 50 copies. Graphic design: your

have to be on the Jacket: if produced by that grant, it should be mentioned Manual for a New

Newsprint comes in broadsheet format and should be incredibly cheap as the

is some visibility of the print through the page but not too much. Maybe

PS-Ideally, I’d like to have the digital and CD released all at once. If
your plan is to start a page that can be edited with the CD and digital info
later then I can send you the details to put inside of it!

This is up to you. Could be both a digital version and access to buy the
actual Cd, same page, as I usually do for most releases…
would be good to be #90 as I Just uploaded some data files for Barbara
if you are OK with it, I need to do it today so I can have that link to
it and post it to François to get clear QRs codes. Then once posted, you may
correct it, as you want… will do this this Pm as I do leave to work with Thomas

Hi Eric, I see it is
possible to publish a private release, so people are not notified
once it’s posted. Is it possible for you? If it doesn’t work, I would prefer to
wait until all materials are ready before releasing it publicly. Another
option – if the private release setting doesn’t work for you, could the QR code
on the back of my postcard direct
people to the ORAL Bandcamp site as a whole? And then once it’s released
people will see it there…
I am almost finished preparing the Bandcamp info’s, and can send them to
you soon…

I have done a draft Private version, uploading the material I had. so

it…I guess. Once I will upload your credits, texts etc.… we may agree to a time
where I open it up public, then you see it, you send me corrections, we put it
back right away to Private I realized Marcus doesn’t live here, so he has no
idea of other printers around who may work with Newsprint paper, For me, it is
really strange the idea to print on a really cheap but not usual to printers
(except newspapers, fanzines or so…) not easy to find paper, then realizing the
number and the requested size not matching standard makes it a jewel at start !

Hi Eric, ok I am glad it
is private. Could you use the information below? And we will re-check it before
the release! Magnus and I are looking into other options – and we might have
found an alternative. Just waiting to hear back from the printer! I’ll keep you
in the loop. Title: The Loudest Tone, Jen Reimer
Could you use the black and white poster image that Magnus
sent as the album photo for now? Description:
Oral Records presents the first instalment of Jen Reimer‘s ongoing project
"The Loudest Tone". This recording is a document of a live
performance in a subterranean tunnel in Tiohtia:ke/Montreal–a woven composition
of field recordings, subsonic vibrations and resonant tones recorded in the
same tunnel June 2021-April 2022.
Thank you Nuc, Kara Keith, Travis West, Magnus Tiesenhausen, Max Stein,
Nancy Wright, Eric Mattson and matralab for
your collaboration and support.
Credits: Recording, composition & performance – Jen Reimer; Album design –
Magnus Tiesenhausen ; Photography & tunnel companion – Nuc ; Mastering –
James Plotkin
This project is part of Manual for a New
Neighbourhood – Archive #10. Made possible with the support of the Canada
council for the arts and CALQ.

I’d like to use Just the black image for all the cover art for

And the entire poster with text/info we
can include as CD art documentation. Or I will make a high-quality image for
this because this image is low quality.
Can you change it to the black poster for now? Thanks!

Hi Eric, we have an
update. I am in contact with NewspaperClub. Max and I printed with them in 2016
and they did a great job. They can print exactly what we need, and it can be
shipped in time, but I will need to place the order by tomorrow for it to
arrive before September 1. As soon as we upload the artwork to their site, I
will receive an invoice for the total cost including shipping. They are quoting 140 GBP which is
equivalent to $220 CAD including shipping. I can pay for it and invoice you
afterward.
Let us know what you think! And, changing the release number on the CD
& poster design will
require a lot of work, so it would be great if you could change Barbara’s
release number instead. Thanks! Jen Reimer

For the postcard, you could use the

the poster, it would be great
if we could hang the album art poster on the wall. I can
order an additional print from Newspaperclub for this. Let me know what you think,
Thanks!

Hi Eric, Newspaper club is
sending me the prints flat (not folded) so we can use it as a poster in the
space. I would prefer to hang the newspaper album artwork in the
space because it is designed as a poster (15" x
20") and would relate to the CD in the Manual box. But if
you need something 11 x 17" then you can print the black image attached
(same as postcard) to hang in the
space.
I will work on the CD master.
Thanks!
