Check out some of the sights and sounds Iâve been up to.
performance of âfor Richard Wakehamâ on âTheâ a custom instrument that controls field recordings.
Performed at Battery Books and Music in Pasadena, CA on 6/24/18
Video documentation of my debut of the "The," a homemade sampler designed to control field recordings I made over the last seven years.
Performed on May 24, 2018 at Coaxial Arts
Ethan Marksâ performs Thomas Sturm's âHaydnâs Concerto for Trumpet," a performance-art work for solo trumpet and electronics that explores the materialization of sound and its treatment as a plastic medium. Marks becomes phonograph as a speaker attached to the bell of his trumpet sends historic recordings of the instrument into his mouth, which he then manipulates with subtle (and not so subtle) changes in mouth shape and valve positions. The recordings are a plundered collage of trumpet repertoire, pieces of music significant to Marksâs relationship with the trumpet and his musical development.
Composer / Sound Artist / Computer Musician
Extremely excited to premier my website. Check it out!
Documentation of the premiere of my newest creation: a diy a multi-person wind instrument: âThe Tuberâ.
Tuber performed by Marta Tiesenga, Ethan Marks, and Louis Coy. Recorded in the R.O.D. at the California Institute of the arts on 4/25/17.
Video documentation of "Pneumata" an installation presented in the California Institute of the Artsâ Center for Integrated Media from 2/9/17 - 2/12/17.
"Pneumata" is a autonomous sound sculpture that evokes the presence of a person experiencing breathing difficulties. The simulation of regular deep breaths to rapid or limit breathing, and finally to total breathlessness, mimic the stages of human pneumological issues. The robot cycles through these states in a manner influenced by the breathing of interacting audience members. By sitting and breathing with Pneumata, participants experience a simulation of the interaction between breathless individuals and their caretakers.
5 track album
âThe Net is a metaphysical space that mimics our metaphysical experience of the dead as being neither here nor there but somehow everywhere yet nowhere in particularâ (Gibson, 2007). "everywhere yet nowhere in particular" explores instances of digital ghosts, infomorphs, and objects left online by people who have died. Originally presented as a sound installation comprised of three video collages and one sound collage which stitched together the remaining bits of these people / infomorphs. This album documents in the sound of the space as well as the five parts to the sound collage. Exhibited in the WaveCave from 4/26 - 5/2. Where do we stop? Where are our edges? project: Â wavecave.calarts.edu/2016/thomas-sturm-everywhere-yet-nowhere-particular/ video: Â www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANBwuj5NHgU contact: Â www.facebook.com/thomassturm/?fref=ts
16 track album
Album of music made by Calarts students and alumni. All involving field recordings. My track is on here under my name (Thomas Sturm) and is called Cybernetic 1. Check it out!
Ethan Marks, trumpet CALO, AI Synthesizer Performed on April 5, 2016 in the Open Space series of the International Summer Course for New Music in Darmstadt.
The CALO Research initiative is a collective exploring the implications of involving artificial intelligence in performance and improvisation. Drawing from pataphysics and speculative fiction, their research covers subjects such as the nature of machine voices, the intersection between technological and biological bodies, wearable technology, and the place of machine intelligence in an increasingly automated world.
The Initiatives current projects include: âThe CALO Research initiative presentsâŠâ, a series of lecture-performances. CALO_Field, a field recording and interview project focusing on automated workplaces, AI research, improvisation, and generative art.

My latest installation is now hosted on CalArtsâ WaveCave site. Check it out if you missed it!

Piece of music I composed in honor of my wifeâs B-Day and our First Anniversary.
The core of the piece focuses on laying audio realization of the Marfa Lights over desert ambience.
New music.
âThe Net is a metaphysical space that mimics our metaphysical experience of the dead as being neither here nor there but somehow everywhere yet nowhere in particularâ (Gibson, 2007). everywhere yet nowhere in particular is a sound and video installation exploring instances of digital ghosts, infomorphs, and objects left online by people who have died. Materials: church pews, wooden boxes, computer monitors, sound. Shown in the WaveCave from 4/26 - 5/2. Where do we stop? Where are our edges?

The CALO Research Initiative is a collective exploring the implications of involving AI performers in performance and improvisation. Drawing from pataphysics and speculative fiction, their research covers subjects such as the nature of machine voices, the intersection between technological and biological bodies, wearable technology, and the relationship between human and robot minds.
Cyber / Body / Sound is a free composition for Ethan Marks and CALO, an AI software synthesizer. Much like human improvisers, CALO can choose how to respond to the rest of the ensemble: it can follow Marks using complementary sounds, or just as viably, it can ignore Marksâs input providing a stark contrast. Furthermore, Marksâs virtuosic extended trumpet techniques create a harmonic landscape that more closely resembles machine noise than the kinds of sounds most would typically associate with the trumpet. Various low-tech enhancements, including various contact and peripheral microphones and unconventional mutes and trumpet accouterments, further distance Marks from the organic. The result of CALO and Marksâs biomechanical duet is a blurring of the line between natural and artificial, physical and virtual.
Cyber / Body / Sound is the documentation of the CALO Research Initiative's presentation at ISIM 2016 in Waterloo, Canada at the Wilfrid Laurier University School of Music on May, 13, 2016.

I'm really proud to share the recording I made of Ulrich Krieger performing Contrabass Clarinet with CALO. Thanks to Ulrich for collaborating with me and for all of his advice and guidance throughout the year. Enjoy!

Ethan Marks, CALO, and I continue our research at VDIY tomorrow at 8:00P.M. LA people can join us and other noise and experimental groups in B320. Everyone else: expect a recording soon.
