Aron Ottignon - KINGFISH (Rodi Kirk Remix)

Aron's Light & Sound Lab sounds like a captivating and innovative audio-visual project that brings together the talents of Aron Ottignon, Helin Ulas, and Jan Leipnitz to create a unique experience for the audience. The fusion of electronic music, live instrumentation, and mesmerizing visuals showcases the convergence of art and technology, leading to a dreamlike and immersive performance.

Aron Ottignon's use of analogue synth, electric piano, and drum machine provides the foundational musical elements, while Helin Ulas' algorithmic tools add a layer of complexity and transformation to the audio spectrum. The involvement of Jan Leipnitz and his drumming skills contributes rhythm and energy, grounding the performance with primal beats.

The visual aspect of the performance, based on Helin's research, adds another dimension to the experience. Exploring the relationship between female movements and algorithmic processes, the visuals aim to convey the intricacies of human motion and the potential shortcomings of technology in capturing such nuances. This concept of technology's limitations in interpreting the complexity of human expression is a thought-provoking theme that resonates with many discussions about the role of technology in art.

What sets Aron's Light & Sound Lab apart is its improvisational nature and its ability to create a new and unique experience with each performance. This approach, combined with meticulous preparation, allows the creative team to guide the audience on a journey through different dimensions, capturing their imagination and inviting them to lose themselves in a world of vibrant dreams.

Overall, Aron's Light & Sound Lab appears to be a futuristic and visionary project that pushes the boundaries of both audio and visual art. By seamlessly blending technology, live performance, and artistic exploration, it offers audiences a chance to experience a multisensory journey that stimulates both the mind and the senses.

In their ‘Spaces’ series, Aron and Rodi travel to a variety of locations to perform their unique take on improvised music. 

Aron is often building a melodic motif on the piano by bouncing off the unpredictable timbre, tone, texture and noise Rodi is creating through sampling, granular synthesis and live studio mixing techniques. 

Some of the additional elements utilized are west african percussion, melodica, and a series of live feedback loops run through filters. They also heavily rely on the natural acoustics of the space and dynamics through using varied microphone placement.

Ottignon & Manzanza is a collaboration between drummer Myele Manzanza (First Word Records / Sound Signature) and keyboardist Aron Ottignon (Blue Note France / Urban Trout).
17th April 2020 will see the release of their debut single and live video 'I'm Moving On'.
Recorded live at Funkhaus Berlin, 'I'm Moving On' is an emotional journey showcasing their blend of jazz and house with Myele Manzanza developing a whirling dervish tornado behind the kit and Aron Ottignon mixing his vocoder flavours with swirling sonics and a virtuosic keyboard & synth bass improvisation. The song is jazz music rooted to the earth by dance, and house music elevated to the sky with freedom & improvisation.
Having both collaborated with artists as diverse as Theo Parrish, Woodkid, Baaba Maal, Stromae, Electric Wire Hustle, Jordan Rakei, Mark de Clive-Lowe & Miguel Atwood Fergusson, and drawing from their shared love of jazz, broken beat and electronic music, Ottignon & Manzanza have created a sound of their own that fuses top tier improvisation with a seamless integration of modern tech and organic acoustic sonics. Formed in their home country of New Zealand in 2019, Ottignon & Manzanza is a project driven by the raw passion of two kiwi expats determined to make their mark on the world stage.
