Toshiya Tsunoda
Scenery of Decalcomania
Naturestrip
Available through the Helen Scarsdale Agency: $16.00
Decalcomania is the artisan process of transferring
images or designs into china, marble or glass in such
a way as to permanently fix the image to the surface.
Within his latest body of magnificent environmental
recordings, Toshiya Tsunoda considers this unusual and
technical craft a metaphor for his own conceptions of
how he stages, records, and listens to sound. As is
his wont, Tsunoda explains in detail the situations
for each of his recordings. Some of these are raw demonstrations
of sonorous phenomena, such as the eerie whistling from
a slit in a pipe whose piercing tones are the result
of heavy winds passing through the corroded orifice,
or the headcleaning drones from a low frequency static
vibration that manifests a subtle phase pattern. Others
are experiments with vibration plates and sinewaves
rattling bottles and copper foil, which manifest complex
tonal reflection.
