Nada Presents: Sound, Systems, and Psychoacoustics
Sound, Systems and Psychoacoustics spans two back-to-back days of performance at Indexical, presented with Nada. The mini-festival outlines a contemporary practice in the tradition of electronic music while dramatizing the auditory process as material in itself. The artists featured in this festival foreground the act of listening, offering a means of better understanding the dynamic systems (whether auditory, musical, or human-machine) at play, as well as opening space for aesthetic exploration and meaningful critique. These five featured artists work in aesthetic and theoretical threads spanning psychoacoustics, visual and auditory illusions, and generative systems of sound synthesis and composition.

William Fields - Live at In Situ 2019
Digital DL available at: nadarecs.bandcamp.com
"This recording documents my performance at the In Situ festival in Minneapolis on December 6, 2019. The first half of the set are improvisations based on an algorithm developed in conjunction with the audience at a workshop the night before. The second half are based on randomly selected "seeds" that were generated in advance. In both cases, I didn't know what was coming at the beginning of each section. I had to improvise based on whatever was presented by my music system, and attempt to shape it into something musically interesting. It's a scary way to perform, but it's an interesting challenge and very engaging for the performer!" -William Fields

Nada Presents: New Works For Unorthodox Loudspeaker Arrangements
“New Works For Unorthodox Loudspeaker Arrangements” re-examines the traditional model of stereo sound through an unusual loudspeaker configuration and new sound pieces by artists Michael M. Flora and Pooch Karton.
NWULA attempts to create an environment where sound is the primary focus of the experience and the focus is on the act of listening. Whereas the dominant consensus regarding stereo sound recommends a fixed and central “sweet spot,” NWULA encourages the auditor to move about the room and examine their relationship to space in regards to what they are hearing.
Welcome to the New Website.
We have new releases and events on the horizon. Stay tuned.
