Airlock Talk by goosemotor
Airlock Talk is the first record release of the Goosemotor project (https://goosemotor.com), the culmination of a twenty-year collaboration between Adam James Wilson and Arto Artinian.
Goosemotor integrates microtonal, freely improvised experimental rock with software developed by Adam to learn and extend the duo's musical language—colloquially mistermed, an "artificial intelligence" feedback system.
Arto performs on the Haken Continuum, lending microtonal precision and expressivity to a myriad of software and analog synthesizers, while Adam constrains himself to the fretless electric guitar and high-level manipulation of his semi-autonomous software agent, Skronkbot.
On Airlock Talk, Arto and Adam are joined by Killick Hinds (https://killick.bandcamp.com), an inimitable fretless guitarist commanding a ridiculously extensive lexicon of string excitation techniques. Adam and Killick both play instruments designed and built by luthier Rick Toone (https://www.ricktoone.com).
Skronkbot's contribution to the recording can be identified by listening for the sound of Harry Partch's Harmonic Canon; Skronkbot plays a physical model of the Canon, tuned to Partch's 43-tone scale.
