Field Formation 3

-a modular sound environment by Daniel Hill
-Metaphor Projects 382 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn NY
-Sunday March 20, 2022, at 4p.m.
 
 
To assist entering the focused mind state required to make my paintings, I also create drone based sound environments which are then listened to as sonic support for the painting process. As a result, the sonic and visual have crystalized into a creative feedback loop: each modality informing and adapting from interaction with the other. Unlike a traditional musician, my main instrument has become the entire encompassing process of recording, performing, deep listening, sculpting, treating, and mixing found sounds and musical elements. Field Formation 3 is essentially a sonic meditation weaving textural elements such as cicadas, treefrogs, spring peepers, shortwave radio, analog synthesizer, and tapes into a sonic architecture conducive for thinking and creativity.
 
 
Drawing on what I learned with Reciprocal Synchrony, a recent sound installation exhibited in Athens Greece, this installation will utilize the same modular wood boxes playing loops from my library of field recordings. While these are looping, I will live mix other sonic elements.
 
This piece will be the third track from the upcoming Field Formations album, which will in turn, function as the sonic support for the next paintings in the Equivalent series.

SciArt Magazine “Algorithmic” June 2020

My article “Restoring Things with the Power of Sound” at Interalia Magazine.

 In all my sound work I examine the space between sound and music. As such, this is only marginally “music” in that the sonic relationships are organized around the tempo of a place or a field recording of a place. I have created this “music” as sonic thought structures in which one can cognitively inhabit. It is meant to be only marginally noticed and yet simultaneously fractal, in that close and deep listening is rewarded. 
I think of it as a foundational thought structure on which the listener may bring forth the high resolution thinking that is the result of sustained concentration. I value creative thinking higher than anything else and this is the fuel for all of my projects and endeavors. Hence, this is meditative thinking music, creating a cognitive space for painting, drawing, writing, reading, thinking, reflection, problem solving, and meditation.
As a person who has spent many years walking in the northern woods, I have found these walks to be of enormous benefit for creative thinking. When I am out in nature I always carry a field recorder and often employ these recordings in the works, which then become an instrument to be manipulated and sculpted. 
Recorded in 2016, this album comes from in the same sonic territory as the album Topos (2007), where I was working to capture the cognitive space of the Greek landscape. Borealis is the experiment of trying to capture the essence of an imagined place or a real place in the world which I have never been. The cognitive landscape here is one that I partially know having grown up on one of the Great Lakes, but also of further north, where the aurora borealis can be experienced.
“Boreas” (Βορέας, Boréas; also Βορρᾶς, Borrhás)[7] was the Greek god of the cold north wind and the bringer of winter.
Instruments: Field Recordings (found and made), electric bass, various analog synthesizers, digital synthesizer, hand and digital percussion, electric guitar, sonic sculpting.

“While grounded in science, Daniel Hill’s lyrical visual stenography offers a deep dive into resonances that reach beyond the five senses, and edge toward a more metaphysical realm along the lines of mystic-mathematician pythagoras’ theory of “the music of the spheres” 

The crisply defined, symmetrical lines expand outward in concentric ripples, forming graceful cascades of interweaving, emanating waves (of sound? of fluid? of light?)  One must spend some time staring into the paintings to begin viscerally *feeling* the pulses, rather than merely “looking at” them. There is an “op art” component to these paintings, as the crisscrossed sinuous lines can induce a slight sense of motion and warping of space. 

If we allow the work to take us into its world, maybe we can almost hear the the pulse of whatever source may be producing these emanations—if not audibly, then perhaps by engaging faculties of higher perception.”  _ Julie Nelson

“United by a shared transpersonal perspective that reaches beyond the individual ego, the artists of ODETTA’s current show “Bluebird of Happiness” employ the self as an instrument for making art, rather than as the subject of the work.
Refreshingly unmired in the daily temporal slog, curator Ellen Hackl Fagan has selected paintings that invite a renewed consideration of that which is instead eternal and unchanging—the laws of nature—and their concomitant physical and metaphysical dimensions.”
Julie Nelson
 

A harbinger of good luck,
the bluebird signals to us that joy is forthcoming.
For the artists of Bluebird of Happiness, each coming to blue in their own way, our joy is actualized in their paintings through saturated hues, an impossibly light touch, and a flair for the psychedelic. Their meditative fields invite us to move slowly, loosen the reins, and let our eyes dance.

Deep Field:  a new album (three tracks) of sound environments finished and on Soundcloud. The cognitive space created by this album I find conducive as sonic support for thinking, painting, drawing, mediation, writing, reading, creative problem solving, etc… It is best experienced with headphones or at higher volume on speakers.
Instruments: Moog Prodigy, Arturia Microbrute, Field Recordings, Yamaha synth, mbira, harmonizer, various sonic sculpting techniques.

I am happy to be part of this critical dialogue of the art and science connection: 

Strange Attractors: Art, Science, and the Question of Convergence

A Multi-format Symposium.
Co-organized by CUE Art Foundation and Taney Roniger.
November 4 – 15, 2017.

With the current groundswell of interest in interdisciplinary thinking sweeping the arts and academia, the intersection of art and science is becoming increasingly promising terrain for many contemporary artists. But with the two fields representing such distinct epistemological enterprises, prospects for a mutually beneficial partnership remain unclear. The objective of this symposium is to examine some of the underlying assumptions and motivations of this burgeoning movement, to clarify what its practitioners seek to accomplish, and to consider ways in which an art-science alliance might contribute to the larger cultural discourse of our fraught and complex century.

Co-organized by the CUE Art Foundation and Taney Roniger, Strange Attractors features a panel of distinguished artists, scientists, writers, and curators in a ten-day online dialogue, initiated by a live lecture given by art historian James Elkins at the Foundation’s Chelsea gallery. Both components are free and open to the public, and readers of the online symposium are encouraged to contribute through moderated comments. Strange Attractors concludes with a social gathering at the Foundation gallery welcoming all participants. As a follow-up to the conference, selected participant essays will be published in the December/January issue of The Brooklyn Rail which will be dedicated to the intersection of art and science.

Full details to be announced.

Opening Reception:

    Friday, December 2, 7–9pm
NURTUREart, 56 Bogart Street, Lower Level, Brooklyn NY
Phone:718-782-7755
 
NURTUREart presents Interference, curated by Steven Salzman and featuring artists Johnny Abrahams, John Aslanidis, Daniel Hill, Gilbert Hsiao, Julie Oppermann and Jessica Rosner. Interference explores the physical phenomena of the superposition of two or more waves resulting in a new wave pattern. Waves of air, sound and electro-magnetism—and their subsequent interference patterns—permeate our environment. These phenomena surround, bombard and penetrate our bodies continuously. The artists in this exhibit explore these omnipresent patterns as a visual motifs, including hard-edge geometry, gestural improvisation, and handwriting. Inspirational sources include optics, physics, music and meditation. The ensemble of works on view grasp the pervasive hum of interference radiation to capture and re-present it as analysis visually and poetically.

Curated by Jonathan Lippincott, CHROMATIC SPACE is the third of three exhibitions held this year in celebration of the 80th anniversary of AMERICAN ABSTRACT ARTISTS. This exhibition seeks to illuminate the ways that artists use color to explore the possibilities of depth, scale, atmosphere, and movement, and to create the content and iconography in their work. From the rigorous flatness of hard edge painting to the celestial expanse of color field work, the use of color activates a work of art in an exciting variety of ways.

What Lies Beneath: Panel Discussion

Join us on Thursday June 26th for a conversation with four of the artists showcased in our inaugural show, “What Lies Beneath.”

Daniel Hill is a painter inspired by the scientific method and the physics of sound (our event image). Jonathon Wells, geologist and photographer, creates photo-geoloic composites of what lies below the earth’s crust. Jonathan Feldschuh creates images based on the Large Hadron Collider as well as cosmic radiation patterns based on NASA data. Steve Miller prints and paints X-rays of the floura, fauna and wildlife found in the Amazon, the movement of ions across cellular membranes, and the structure of proteins, to name a few.

The panel will be moderated by SciArt Center executive director Julia Buntaine.

Admission is free for qualifying members and $5 for the public.
