We are very pleased to be sharing with you today a second instalment of new music via our Research Centre.
The latest track 'Sonic Refrabulator Stochos Forester’ is from a project called 𝙼𝙸𝚂𝚂𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝙼𝚄𝚂𝙸𝙲 by Suren Seneviratne (aka My Panda Shall Fly).
Suren is a prolific Sri Lankan sound artist based in London and Kent, UK. His conceptual project Missing Music meticulously documents obsolete music software, VST plugins and sound tools designed for Macintosh computers during the 1990s and 2000s. Originally conceived as an online repository boasting over 250+ archival entries, the project has since transformed into a compelling audio-visual improvisational live performance featuring Apple iBook and PowerBook computers authentic to the Y2K era.
"I've been fascinated by rare and esoteric Mac music software for a few years as I've found these tools to be innovative and very inspiring, even by today's standards. I've amassed a collection of 'obsolete' Mac laptop and desktop computers to write music and perform with as well as preserve this software for the future."
As My Panda Shall Fly, Seneviratne has explored and pushed the threshold of experimental media for over a decade across record production, remix work, radio broadcast, film composition, theatre design, Net Art, interactive VR and exhibition
credits.
