這是一張由巴塞隆納實驗電子廠牌 Modern Obscure Music 結合影像、文字、音樂的藝術計畫，透過不同領域的藝術家來表達消費者是如何在 21 世紀與音樂互動；最初的想法來自一份網路資訊量縮短人類注意力的研究，其中顯示在串流平台上有三分之一的聽眾在不同曲目間僅花 30 秒的聆聽時間。此專輯在音樂方面，邀請了包括 坂本龍一、Lafawndah、Lyra Pramuk、Lucrecia Dalt 和 Visible Cloaks 等... 優秀的電子音樂人，創作時間限制在 32 秒內，在被限制的長度中創造有價值且引人入勝的作品。
PRSNT is a unique global artistic project combining the input of artists across the worlds of music, video and written word which acts as a statement on how we, as consumers, engage with music in the 21 st century. Vital electronic musicians including Ryuichi Sakamoto, Lafawndah, Lyra Pramuk, Lucrecia Dalt and Visible Cloaks have each contributed untitled tracks, which are approximately 32 seconds long.
The concept was devised by Created By Us and the Barcelona-based label Modern Obscure Music. They read a study which identified that the overwhelming volume of instantly accessible information
online is shortening attention spans and altering how audiences engage with music digitally. Their curiosity about the state of online consumption developed further on discovering that around a third of all listeners using digital platforms skip to the next track, within the first 30 seconds of playing.
Each musician was given a fascinating challenge to create engaging compositions with real artistic merit, inside the confines of this shortened span. Akin to Brian Eno s famous Windows 95 start-up music, the time constraints are crucial, and the compositions are deceptively complex and more substantial than expectations of their nano nature would suggest.
PRSNT acts as a critique of flighty feed culture, but is simultaneously constructive, providing something which is either proposed solution or “if you cannot beat em join em” resignation. Every artist has interpreted the brief differently, resulting in an intriguing blueprint for the potential future of
digital music. Could abbreviated micro compositions satisfy, inspire and nourish like their longer counterparts? They certainly take up much less of listeners busy lives, which are often spent tackling
ever-increasing workloads.
