about

The Third Room was created as a companion piece to my multi-room electroacoustic fixed-media work Two Rooms from the Memory Palace, which premiered in 2015 at the New York Electronic Art Festival. An additional and spatially peripheral installation that acts as a de-centered sonic disturbance in real-time relation to Two Rooms’ more saturated sound world, The Third Room was embedded within Two Rooms’ fixed media work – and now appears via this weblink: www.andreaparkins-thirdroom.com as a randomized playlist: a catalogue of sonic wisps, gestures and fragments that I have recorded and accumulated during the past 25 years, focusing on the interplay between sonified objects, bodies in motion, and idiosyncratic acoustic spaces.

This project represents my investigation of audio poetics: What do these sounds mean in relation to each other as they appear, one after the other, in no order that can be predicted? And what does it imply when they emerge and join — or alternatively, intervene and resist — an immersive sonic situation?

Andrea Parkins

The Third Room can be listened to on its own, or while listening to the stereo fold-down recording of Two Rooms from the Memory Palace (IS-1037) on a separate device.

For best results, play this 62-track album on the Bandcamp mobile app with the queue in shuffle mode, or click on andreaparkins-thirdroom.com

My listening connection here is Colin Stetson. This immediately caught my ear as something oddly alluring that I couldn't pull away from. Drop in to any random thirty seconds of Void Patrol and it might feel a bit lacking of focus, or purpose. But that's not how you listen to music, and it's not how these musicians play it either. This is an ultimately captivating journey of expertly crafted, unique soundscapes. rvss.eel
