Here is what Pietruschka has to say about Itinerant Labours:
The works presently on Itinerant Labours constitute my practical research into the tape based composition techniques of Pierre Henry and Luigi Nono, amongst others. Within each composition there is a complex tapestry of concrete, instrumental, and electronic sounds.
Specifically, each piece is a study or commentary on a particular film or films and the accompanying soundtrack. The films were chosen as provide a significant point of intersection between the cloistered world of avant garde and experimental music and the populist world of cinema. Acting as an introduction of such music for many people - the frequently horrific or phantasmagoric nature of the movies inevitably framing peoples’ experience of similar music there after. The pieces may be understood as both homage and as hypothetical 'what-ifs' to the solutions and syntheses created in these movies.
Valeria has been previously presented at the Sydney Opera House Gallery as part of the D'Art 04 festival.
I Love Coeds was used as the soundtrack to the video Vengence is Mine, directed by Cassandra Tytler. This video was first presented at Gerturde St Contemporary Art Spaces as part of the Cult Classics show during the 2004 Next Wave Festival.
Hidden Lattitudes of Truth and Non-truth was composed for the Descore project, and accompanies a video by Geoff Robinson. It was first presented in 2004 at the ACMI Cinemas as part of the Descore program.
The Evidence of Love was composed for a installation by Cassandra Tytler. The installation was first presented in 2004 at Westspace Art Gallery. The soundtrack has also appeared on the Decomposition CD published by Sound Punch, and a Retrospective CD published by Liquid Architecture to accompany an issue of The Wire magazine.
