BMC Radio Art: Zazie Productions - Cheaper Impressions
Starting with Erik Satie’s Gymnoèdie No. 1 and using Musique Concrète techniques, Zazie pays tribute to "Cheap Imitation," John Cage's homage to Satie.
Zazie Kanwar-Torge (they/them) is a composer and multi-instrumentalist living in Asheville, North Carolina, where they are a rising tenth grader at the School of Inquiry and Life Sciences. Zazie has been interested in sound art and avant-garde music production since age nine and it was actually Black Mountain College's experimental performance history that drew Zazie and their mom and sister to move to the area.
Drawing from Cage's concept of indeterminacy, Zazie layers found objects, transposed recording speeds and tempos, multiple arrangements and phrasings, homemade instruments, percussive patterns, micro-rhythms, and glitches into increasingly intricate sound collages to reveal unexpected and kinetic elements of the original composition placed out of context.
