Institutional Collaborative by Jane Dowe & Terre Thaemlitz
From the original introduction by Molly Taylor of Escape Tank (included as PDF):
Over several years of correspondence, the members of the Institutional Collaborative, Jane Dowe and Terre Thaemlitz, have only communicated via digital means - e-mail, DAT and CD. As a music journalist, Dowe had initially engaged Thaemlitz in discussion about some of his audio projects. Dowe's participation in major U.S. university Computer Music programs, as well as her various private and commercial audio endeavors, quickly led to a series of tape exchanges with Thaemlitz. As their dialogue grew, it became increasingly apparent that both Dowe and Thaemlitz share some peculiar similarities in their productive processes - both sonically and in terms of cultural relations. Aside from the obvious similarity of their avid use of direct digital synthesis techniques, both Dowe and Thaemlitz find themselves situated as both subjects and objects within the often contradictory economies of an Ambient marketplace, popular music media, and academia. As the moniker Institutional Collaborative suggests, it is through a recognition of such cultural associations that Dowe's and Thaemlitz' collaboration takes shape.
