about

New from R. Weis is this mix of excerpts from five sound projects presented in gallery/museum installations alongside other art forms. These compositions were created over an 18-year span of Weis’ nearly 40-year body of work composing with manipulated sound; as such, they also span wildly in style -- from gritty to funny, tense to sumptuous.

“These scores were all presented in simple installation with hidden speakers,” says Weis.
“They are not background music and were played at a loud volume.” The scores were all newly mastered for this CD.

Our Cells, Our Selves, Our Homes was a 1990 installation at New York City's Art et Industrie Gallery on the theme of electromagnetism and mutation. Paul Ludick's something's-not-quite-right art furniture was viewed in gallery rooms vibrating with Weis' sinister score, created with samples from a variety of mechanisms powered by electricity.
The original score is 1.5 hours long. 5 excerpts are included.

In 1994, Weis collaborated with photographer Arthur Tress to create Requiem for a Paperweight, originally presented as an installation at University Art Museum, California State University Long Beach. Tress arranged his series of vibrant, single-exposure photographs into 12 chapters telling the story of an overworked/expendable businessman based on the stereotype of a Japanese "Salaryman." Weis created a score in 12 chapters to help advance the story. The complete score is 19 minutes long. 3 excerpts are included.

Weis lived in a cramped East Village, New York City, tenement apartment for 16 years. He moved in 1998, shrinking into the gigantic landscape of the California desert around Palm Springs. For three years he worked on a project expressing some huge concepts: repeating patterns in the Universe, DNA, Time, the Chakras, whole and prime
numbers. The result is the trance-inducing, 29-minute noitatu MovE oveR, first presented at Pittsburgh Filmmakers Galleries in 2007, with 3 excerpts on this CD.

In 2003, The Savannah College of Art and Design asked Weis to compose something for "Pour l'Amour des Chiens," an exhibition they were presenting at the Mona Bismarck Foundation in Paris (now the Mona Bismarck American Foundation). Dog Choir stole the
show, which included dog jewelry, dog bowls by ceramic artists, dog fashion, paintings, etc. The complete 3 minute piece is track #?.

Leaving California in 2006, Weis moved into a late-period Victorian house in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. To him, that house was an amazing concert hall of squeaks, creaks and groans that inspired Victoriana, an hour-long composition created from 15 seconds of antique door sounds recorded in his house. It was first presented at the Mattress Factory
Museum of Contemporary Art, Pittsburgh, 2009. 4 excerpts are included.

R. Weis has been composing with manipulated sound since the 1980s, creating scores for film, dance, and art installations, as well as many solo projects. Over the years, his work as been heard in performance spaces, galleries, museums and on radio stations across the USA and Europe. Now a resident of Pittsburgh, PA, Weis composes exclusively with original samples; his compositions are fixed recordings and he is not a performing artist.
