about

Over the course of 02000/02001, The three members of The MVM wrote 23 compositions for field recordings.
We wanted to explore the question

What is the sound of the rhythm of a human life?

Lee then wore binaural mics affixed to his glasses 24 hours a day/7 days a week for one year: between 02001.09.01 00:00 and 02002.09.06 23:59. he recorded 8,760 hours of his life onto DAT (2 hours max) and MiniDisc (up to 4 hours, if memory serves.)
Yes, he had to wake every two or four hours (depending on the media he had available, we did not prepare very well for the first months) to change tapes/discs.
Yes, he was constantly changing and charging batteries.
Yes, it was expensive.
Yes, that is a ridiculous amount of tape and disc.
Yes, he was a wreck by the end of the process.

Over the next four years this material was manipulated to create 23 autobiographical compositions. An additional 12 compositions were composed during this phase for a total of 35 compositions. Each composition was burned to a single CD-r. These 35 CD-r were packaged in a handmade glass box and sold as a single edition sound art work.

The MVM did not keep copies of most of the tracks. We only have these five.

The owner of Une Fleuve Maudit has consistently declined to share the recordings with us, as they know we will want to share them with the world, and they like the idea of one of a kind sound works. They own several of our single edition CD and tape sound art works from the late 90s and early 00s. None of these are publicly available, to the best of our knowledge.

In 2007 we installed an archive of this project in the Henry Wing of the Museum of Viral Memory. It was open as Portal 3 of 23 Entryways Into My Mind in May, 02007, after which the raw materials and original recordings were buried in a time capsule as part of Portal 4 of 23 Entryways Into My Mind in May, 02008.

We repeated this process again nine years later, recording from 02009.09.07 00:00 to 02010.09.07 23:59, with Lee wearing binaural mics attached to his glasses.
The work was recorded using digital recorders, making it slightly easier. And much cheaper.

We are in the process of finishing the compositions composed for Une Fleuve Maudit II. They should be available here on Bandcamp in late 02021.
As a bonus for this anemic 5 track UFM, we recreated the original 1 minute expansion piece, 21:47 to 21:48, using the same minute from 02009 and the full gamut of Ableton expansion features..
We think it makes for beautiful listening.

Each track has a description of the composition used to create it.

Another living, breathing body of pure art and soul delivered with purpose and intent. Wings Of An Angel has changed the way I listen to music, as if a light switch that I though was non-existent suddenly illuminated every dark corner. Incredibly deep and sincere artistic expressions grace this album. Definitely my favorite artist that has made me interested in ambient music again after I had been drifting for a while. I love this! tonepoet
