Notes

The project Opho explores audio production and synthesis via participation and probability. The goal is to attempt new techniques which stretch beyond individual inspiration and which synthesizes inherent potentials from existent work. The purpose is to move beyond interacting with data as information and instead to integrate with data in relationship, and to cultivate relationships between varying data parameters in order to synthesize new forms. Opho’s participatory structure invites the creativity of the many with the ambition to create a singular product; however, the structure, or process, can be replicated by any artist, with any creative ambition (music, writing, filmmaking, designing, etc.) in order to align seemingly disparate elements into a unified record serving as the apex of previously non-related forces. Thus, the process, even if repeated again with identical initiating elements, will surely yield permutational results, because these parameters only set forth guidelines for developmental exploration. It is through this process that unexpected meaning will be derived and previously unforeseen relationship arrived at.

Opho was a collaborative project whose sources were provided by artists from around the globe. A total of 159 samples were submitted; after applying permutational and division parameters, 319 samples resulted. Although the project was coordinated, compiled, edited and sequenced by Brian K. Comerford (aka E23), this project would not have been possible without the generous collaborative spirit and audio contributions of the following artists:

Dave Alex (Larkspur, CO, USA)
Mike Brown (Denver, CO, USA)
Ronnie Cramer (Denver, CO, USA)
Deckmantel (Hannover, Germany, EU)
devslashnull (Lafayette, CO, USA)
Michael A. Doherty (Denver, CO, USA)
Elodie Durand (Cergy, France, EU)
Eric Gangloff (Denver, CO, USA)
GrandpaMojo aka Chris B. Hansen (Denver, CO, USA)
August Highland (San Diego, CA, USA)
George Millward (Sheffield, England, UK)
Maryse Morel (Seattle, WA, USA)
Chris Mosdell (Tokyo, Japan)
Socks’n’Sandals (Brooklyn, NY, USA)
