Carl Lindh is a sound artist in Sweden, and he usually performs using primitive electronic devices. This work includes two recordings of his performances. In these recordings he also uses primitive sound devices, however, their sound variations are rich that there are delicate noises emanating from the equipment, repetitive rattling sounds, feedback-like sounds, sometimes metallic and sometimes harsh noises there. And by delicately controlling sometimes multiple sounds simultaneously and sometimes just one sound, he creates multi-layered sound spaces and evolving flows.

Carl Lindhはスウェーデンのサウンド・アーティストで、普段はプリミティヴな電子機器をもちいた演奏をおこなっている。本作ではそんな彼の演奏の録音2つを記録したものである。 ここでの演奏でもプリミティヴな機器をもちいており、しかしながら鳴らされる音のバリエーションは非常に豊かである。機器から発せられる繊細なノイズの音、カタカタという反復、ハウリングのように鳴る音、ときに金属的でときにハーシ��なノイズ。あるときには複数の音を同時に、またあるときにはたったひとつの音を繊細にコントロールすることで、多層的な音の空間や展開のある流れを創出している。

Carl Lindh

Carl Lindh is an artist based in Malmö, Sweden. Through a diverse range of mediums, practices and forms of presentation he explores themes and subjects such as listening, improvisation, site specificity, time, slowness and stone. His recorded works are mostly distributed in handmade and very limited editions. He often collaborates with other artists and musicians on short and long term projects one of them being with the Swedish poet and musician Pär Thörn. Carl Lindh operates from his studio Underjorden (the Underworld) in Malmö where he also organises semi-public listening events of different kinds. He is also the co-director of SIGNAL – Center for Contemporary Art in Malmö.

【Reviews】 Noise Not Music: Unless I’m missing out on even more than I thought, listening with the tips of my fingers is Carl Lindh’s first solo full-length. The Malmö-based sound artist has released a small handful of material, mostly as splits with various Swedish noise acts (including a C30 that pairs a Pär Thörn collaboration on the A side with a Heinz Hopf ripper on the B), but this handsome CD on Tokyo small-batch label zappak feels definitive. Two lengthy live tracks feature Lindh’s tabletop potpourri of devices and circuits, which he nimbly controls with simple touches and taps. The infamous “cracked everyday electronics” of legendary Swiss duo Voice Crack are a clear influence, not just on the approach but also on the music itself, which hums and buzzes with both mechanical dispassion and natural fluidity. Neither “sound becomes word becomes sound” nor “a certain lack of consistency” mine soundscapes as obtuse or oblique as Möslang and Guhl’s uneasy improvisations, though; there’s something strangely accessible about the sound Lindh is experimenting with here, something that’s especially apparent when the vocal elements crop up. I have no idea if they’re his contributions in the moment or preloaded samples being triggered just like the rest of the electromagnetic haze—I lean toward the former because of how unstructured yet deliberate they feel. His description of another recording applies here as well: “There are no big gestures in this performance. Instead I let the sounds perform. I let them fill the room and resonate with it. I listen and I follow. Loud continuous sounds create a sensation of comfort within me. It makes my mind empty and my body calm.”(written by Jack Davidson) https://noisenotmusic.com/2024/09/28/review-carl-lindh-listening-with-the-tips-of-my-fingers-zappak-sep-1/

Vital Weekly: It seems I missed out on a few releases by the Japanese Zappak label. This new CD by Carl Lindh is their 18th release. I reviewed a CDR by Lindh before in Vital Weekly 907, and I have no idea how one sounded. I read my old review while playing this neww release and wrote him working “with hearing-aid devices, paper, controlled feedback, record player (spinning ‘Sounds From Insects’ from the 1960), effect pedals and PA”. As per information for this new one, Zappak writes, “he also uses primitive sound devices. However, their sound variations are rich in that there are delicate noises emanating from the equipment, repetitive rattling sounds, feedback-like sounds, sometimes metallic and sometimes harsh noises. And by delicately controlling multiple sounds simultaneously and sometimes just one sound, he creates multi-layered sound spaces and evolving flows.” In this case, I see the title as a technique of using his fingers to control and manipulate devices and objects. Straight from the opening piece, ‘Sound Becomes Word Becomes Sound,’ he starts with feedback and noise, but it’s different from your average storm box manipulator. There is a tactile approach in his music, which is controlled and uncontrolled simultaneously. In ‘A Certain Lack Of Consistency’, ten minutes longer than the other one, 30 in total, he continues this approach, and at fifty minutes, this is, sonically, quite a burden on the ears. Maybe because Lindh avoids easy noise, it is all a bit much. Even when, at one point, he uses his voice, it sounds like good old fashioned power electronics; it’s quite funny, but still a lot to carry through in one go. In terms of noise and something different, this is a great release, a kind of highly brutal musique concrète. (written by Frans de Waard) https://www.vitalweekly.net/number-1462/

Not what i was thinking i was gonna post on halloween, but this software is so fucked up it’s scary. Gotta say, the way rain world levels work is utterly fascinating to me. Like, technically and visually. It’s important to note rain world is a 2.5d game here. Let’s get an image example: GW_A24 (which stands for garbage wastes single screen room 24 in room file shorthand)

Note the 3-dimensionality of the space, as well as survivor’s shadow on the curved stone pillar behind it. This is rendered as 2.5d in the gamespace. Now let’s look at the room render in the files:

A... flat .png image? Yes. Rain world renders this 2.5d world from a red depthmap. The overbearing redness may stick out, far from the browns and toxic greens of the room in-game. This is because the game applies palettes

In the bottom left corner, see the palette menu, note the fade palette? yes, rooms get not one but two palettes to play with, which gives much more colour depth and variance in a region.

toning down the toxic fade palette, we get nothing but the sun-bleached grey palette 9, and turning it up...

Yeowch! The toxic hues in full force. Obviously this palette, palette 11 couldn’t be used like this, but with palette 9 as a moderator, it manages to show the intense pollution of the garbage wastes.

Now, as for the origin of the png image, it is created in the rain world level editor. To someone who has not used the level editor, this may seem simple. To someone who has, the mere mention may bring a tear to their eye.

the editor is split into quite a few editors, but here is the most relevant one for this, the tile editor.

One look at this and you might think “hey, those assets look like they were drawn in MS paint, where are my 2.5d objects? And where are the objects lying on the floor?” To answer this, i must elaborate. The tile editor shows previews of the tiles. the actual models, or to resort to technical vocabulary, voxelstructs, would be too impractical to render within the tile editor. The models are, too, stored as pngs, descending from the closest layer to the furthest, with the editor symbol positioned last. As an example, have the “big brick” tile that features prominently. The amount of times a layer repeates is controlled in the tile’s line in the init (ie: [#nm:"BigBrick", #sz:point(2,2), #specs:[1,1,1,1], #specs2:0, #tp:"voxelStruct", #repeatL:[1, 1, 1, 7], #bfTiles:0, #rnd:1, #ptPos:0, #tags:[]])

The RGB layers are used to generate the 3d model for the render, and the black outlines are what are shown in the tile editor.

Non-grid aligned objects, or “props” are placed in the prop editor, and they do use the 3d layers. This is because it is necessary for the prop editor’s function. While the tile editor is limited to the three major layers, the (2.5d) world is made up of 30 pixel layers (well, gameplay objects exist between layers 5 and 6, and water starts either between layer 0 and layer 1 or above layer 0) , and props can be placed as starting from any of these layers.

These are all assembled to make a 2.5d level... in red, green and blue. Not yet in the red read by the game. And also notice: there aren’t any plants! plants are generated by effects, which you can see haven’t been fully applied yet. The dark space surrounding most rooms is one, called “BlackGoo”

I don’t really have the strength of will to elaborate on effects, so onto lighting we go: the sunlight in a room is generated from an often crude monochrome image, which is projected onto the layers of the room after effects are generated, many of the intricacies of the lighting exist through light angle and distance.

In the last stage of rendering, the harsh red lightmap generated by this projection is used to determine whether a pixel is sunlit or in shadow. Light distance and angle are also saved for the game, so that it generates the shadows of gameplay objects in accordance.

All of this isn’t quite how it works but rather... an approximation. The editor still has many strange things, but this is what i’ve worked out from my own experience with it, as well as the experiences both of the modding community and others who worked on downpour. So yeah, basically rain world rooms go between 2.5d and 2d multiple times and it’s fucked up and the level editor is probably possessed by some kind of evil spirit. This piece of software is the hardest i’ve ever had to deal with, and apparently it’s even weirder internally, like half the code is in swedish. I haven’t even gotten into describing how the blues work, and i won’t, because i have no idea how the blues work, just that everything that isn’t controlled by the palette is rendered as blue.

do you remember andreas tilliander's lovely label named 'repeatle' label? well, there were three vinyl only releases by the swedish mastermind, all are lovely ambient acid stuff, very similar to his brand new tm404 project. well, if you missed them, he reminds you with one of the best tracks taken off the second release as a generous freebie! if you need more, just get them on plastic

the swedish electronica don have uploaded the archives of his lovely vinyl output 'repeatle'. if you are familiar with his tm404 moniker debuted last year, you will be surprised to hear the deep and hypnotic acid minimalism  of the same kind, back from 2007. what is better than hearing these three timeless gems again is the news of repeatle's rebirth!
