Torben Sylvest & Pär Carlsson

Just a lil sum'n we made for our friends @farfromthenorm 's NORMGROUND film. NORMGROUND is a project that got a group of great artists together to train, play, push, open up and share with eachother. the cool artists... @AlbaVillarGarcia @chloewanner @conteigeous @xuakatara @kotoha.koko @noorjayani @penelopeklamert @roseaida Filmed and edited by the inimitable @benny_wyn Music by the dingus @tlsylvest for @pato_studios Supported by @ueldanceurbanpractice @aceagrams and The Fenton Arts Trust

Think we shifted into autumn yesterday. Experimenting with some generative sound processing of some simple chords. Beauty in simplicity. Spring is around the corner

Regularly, here in the secret PÄTO bunker, we will experiment with small sound design challenges. This week we asked ourselves what it might sound like if a track was slowly set alight allowing something new to grow out of it. This was Torben's shot, how do you think he did?

We haven't been super on top of our social media over here at PÄTO. But maybe instead of complaining, more of you should be making rad animations like SEPTEMBER collaborator @mario_manara "SEPTEMBER is about wanting to live in a moment forever, and the relentless pace of life dragging us forwards. It is about love and saying goodbye. It is a physical poem and a cascade of emotions." ❤️ SEPTEMBER is an artistic collaboration between Matthew Robinson @matthewwilliamrobinson , music producer Torben Sylvest @tlsylvest , costume designer George Hampton Wale @georgehwale and the artists of @ndcwales

Just wrapped the mix for a somewhat maddening but very special piece of music for an upcoming dance piece for @matthewwilliamrobinson @ndcwales Premiering on the 2nd of March in Cardiff. Be there to witness the resurrection of vanishing sound, abstract rhythm, feedback screams and a beautiful time. Composed by @tlsylvest Sound Design and Mix by @pear_shapes For @pato_studios Torben will be doing a Q&A after the first show - go learn something!

Dusting off the cassettes for some abstract drums vibes. Finalising a piece for @matthewwilliamrobinson @ndcwales Premiering 2nd of March in Cardiff. Torben will be doing a Q&A afterwards - be there to heckle him or enjoy some knowledge. Thanks bye 🙌
