staalplaat labelstaalplaat is an independent record label. Founded in 1982 Amsterdam, the company's mission is to create a sound forum for sound artists, who write and perform new and experimental music.Deep City Wanderings : experimental Tape 1987-2022 by Quartz Locked, released 29 November 20221. G.Viederland, Cosmic Pager Multiplex2. G.Viederland, Roadside Traffic SignalThe music on Quartz Locked, Deep City Wandering, was sourced from non-musical, professional electronic appliances recorded back in 1987 and preserved on a C-90 cassette until this day. The original sounds were mainly derived from two electronic devices: a hacked, roadside traffic signal data logger, on the one hand, and a physician's pager, on the other.Wires were soldered to various parts of the data logger's motherboard and connected to a tape recorder's audio inputs, emitting a rich assortment of glitch sounds, static noises and buzzing a-plenty. A physician's pager, smuggled from the local hospital, was similarly hacked and manipulated in order to produce high frequency buzzing noises with striking modulation/demodulation effects. Both devices were eventually plugged together to create additional random interference patterns, while occasional tape manipulation and varispeed effect were also applied during the recording process.Thus unleashed into the human frequency range, these incredibly raw, ur-electronic sounds seem to pop out of the speakers as if to vindicate their technological origin, in a kind of statement of inhuman music. I tried to preserve the documentary nature of these recordings when finally digitizing and editing the tape in February 2022. In truth, I feel Quartz Loked still challenges the conventions of what we deem 'music' today, and it might even be more appropriate to call it 'non-music'.(liner notes by Laurent Fairon)
