"Edward Ruchalski is an American composer currently living in Syracuse, New York,
where he teaches guitar. He has been commissioned by the Bang on a Can All-Stars,
Helen Boatwright and Syracuse's Society for New Music. Ruchalski has also been the
recipient of two Individual Artists Grants from the Cultural Resources Council in
Syracuse for his compositions Private Harmonies, a series written for motorized string
and percussion instruments, and Kafka Resolution, written for speaker and
percussion.For the last ten years he has been creating sound installations, motorized
string and percussion instruments and playable percussive sculptures. His music has
been released worldwide on labels such as Humbug, Pseudoarcana, Digitalis and
Taâlem; he also contributed to many compilations.
Territorial Objects is his latest full-length work, a collection of thirteen untitled short
pieces recorded during 2005-2006 with the help of Michael Burton and Matt Broad.
According to Edward's own words: 'primary source materials used on the album include
Michael Burton standing in Butternut Creek, playing cymbals, bells and artillery casings,
sometimes using the water to vary the pitch of a cymbal or casing. Also, the two of us
improvising on various drums and cymbals at Michael's house. Secondary source
materials consist of Matt Broad playing long single notes on his tin whistle. Additional
source materials include field recordings, bells, guitar, toy piano, various old recordings
of motor instruments and samples from two old keyboard compositions. Source materials
were transferred from minidisc to computer in order to create a library of sounds. Multiple
copies of each sound were made so that variations could be created by envelope
manipulation, filtering and pitch altering.'
Territorial Objects is a complex and powerful work focusing more on the percussive and
mechanical side of Ruchalski's music rather than on the droning elements." (AFE)
