V.Vecker
Keith Wecker Performance
V.Vecker transforms instrumental samples and field recordings through expansive digital processing to create a temporal collage of different physical spaces from different points in time through collapsing these multiple moments upon one another.
Inspired by the writing of Bruno Latour and Jane Bennett, V.Vecker's process examines the layering, combining, and processing of these field recordings works to reveal the agency found in the sounds as multiple narratives that can be coaxed from these moments in time.
V.Vecker uses these theoretical frameworks to guide compositional decisions that operate as both a creative act but as well as one of discovery.
Artist: Keith Wecker
Keith Arthur Wecker, (b. 1983) is a composer, improvisor, and multi-instrumentalist using technology to explore the timbral and temporal properties of granular synthesis in the creation of electroacoustic music. Keith puts a focus on bringing the in-between sounds to the forefront through a layering intensive process, creating rich sonic textures that evoke a meditative sonic environment for the listener to immerse themselves in.
His personal approach to sound creation is highlighted by the diversity of the acts he has shared the stage with (Tim Hecker, Clark, Sumac, Thundercat, Wolf Eyes, Six Organs of Admittance, Goblin, Lori Goldston and Sun Araw) as well as participating in projects of Anthony Braxton and Glenn Branca. Keith has had his music featured across North America, including multiple appearances at the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, ICMC Boston, New Forms Festival, VU Symposium, MOXSonic and Improvisors Summit PDX.
