2 Compositions
I have collaborated with Bruno Duplant on various projects over the last three years since I participated in Presque Rien (Rhizome-s) in 2013.

I immediately reacted with hesitation but Ko emailed me; "It would be very interesting to record materials like this. I…

Fades/Costellazioni
Tip! *100 copies limited edition* Fades/Costellazioni is a work of sound art designed to be exhibited in a dedicated space. It has been realised in the form of a web application: to listen to it you need an internet connection and a stereo audio system. It is a work to be explored and perceived in its plasticity, because the material of which it is made - the sound - by its own nature does not fill the air in a uniform way, manifesting itself instead through hollows and plenums, areas that thick…

Giving Water To The Dead
*In process of stocking.* The four tracks that comprise "Giving Water to the Dead" were composed using sound materials originally recorded for the sound installation Histories of the Present, a public artwork commissioned by the City of Berkeley in 2019. But where the installation was about a melding of practices and sounds into a single gesture, Crouch and Novak wanted to take the opportunity of a split release to exploring divergent paths starting from common ground. For "Giving Water to the D…
