Mathieu Charbonneau présente son duo avec Pietro Amato et ses autres projets

A co-release with Backward Music. This page is intended for physical orders of the 12" lathe - for digital version, please visit sarahpage.bandcamp.com/album/code-versus

Code Versus is a re-imaging of experimental harpist Sarah Pagé's solo debut Dose Curves; by electronic producer Joni Void. Six conceptual remixes of the album's originals & B-sides, these rhythmic re-interpretations represent a 5 year exchange between both artists. One of the first live performances of Dose Curves material taking place at Montreal's loft-venue La Plante in January 2016, witnessed by Joni Void, a resident & event organizer there at the time who happened to be the sound-tech that evening; the connection to the album continued with a first JV remix of 'Stasis' in 2017 after it's initial self-release, which lead to the pair to begin collaborating as a duo. First with Sarah featuring on the piece 'Abusers' from Joni Void's Constellation album Mise en Abyme; and later with collaborative live performances as 'Page Vide' and a shared co-release tour in Fall 2019, when Dose Curves was released on Backward Music. Code Versus acts as a prelude of sorts for their own duo material, where the sonic explorations & re-imagined performance of the Harp with electronics collide with sound-editing narratives & cinematic atmospheres.

La Era del GigaHertz

EN:
Although their names are familiar, and Amato and Charbonneau have worked together off and on since their earliest days of music-making, Synth Works Vol.1 is actually your first occasion to hear these two together specifically as a duo. This project continues on a path initially forged by early electronic artists like Harmonia, Neu! and Laurie Spiegel, among many others. Synth Works Vol.1 is a slow, pensive experience that unfolds over many listens. Entirely self-produced and thoughtfully rendered, the music was made over long distance while each player was on tour with other bands; Charbonneau developed the modular synth elements, and Amato fleshed out the minimalist arrangements with texture and melody, until ultimately the two reconvened to sculpt, edit and mix these instrumental tracks. The spacious soundscapes, unidentifiable sounds and complex textures offer suggestive nods to some ambient music references, but there remains always a melodic thread that brings the work into focus. Charbonneau and Amato plumb the depths of all of their unique sensibility, talent and shared history to bring you something calming, compelling and entirely new.

Presented as part of STREAM ON, a project by MUTEK, with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.

Bien que leurs noms soient familiers et que leur collaboration intermittente remonte à leurs premiers pas en création musicale, Synth Works Vol. 1 est, en fait, votre toute première occasion de les écouter en duo. Ce projet prolonge le chemin initialement tracé par des pionniers de la musique électronique tels que Harmonia, Neu!, Laurie Spiegel et bien d’autres. Synth Works Vol. 1 est une expérience lente et pensive qui se déploie au fil de plusieurs écoutes. Sa musique, entièrement autoproduite et consciencieusement rendue, est le fruit d’une collaboration faite à distance alors que les deux musiciens étaient en tournée avec d’autres groupes ; Charbonneau a conçu les éléments de synthétiseur modulaire et Amato a étoffé les arrangements minimalistes, leur ajoutant texture et mélodie, jusqu’à ce que les retrouvailles des deux musiciens permettent le façonnement, l’édition et le mixage de ces pistes instrumentales. Les paysages sonores spacieux, les sons indiscernables et les textures complexes de Synth Works Vol. 1 offrent quelques clins d’œil à la musique ambiante, mais un fil mélodique parcourant l’œuvre à toutes ses étapes l’en dote d’une ligne directrice. Charbonneau et Amato sondent l’essence de leurs uniques sensibilités, talents et histoire commune pour vous offrir quelque chose d’apaisant, de captivant et d'entièrement nouveau.
