Here is the recording of an ephemeral liveset I created for Ultratech Chaos Lab 1.0, the first instalment of a party series dedicated to experimental music and digital art. The event took place at le Local Bar, a great venue located in Strasbourg, and well known for its crafted beers and rock concerts. Even if there were few people, the vibe was great, and I remember very well this special feeling of complete freedom I had during my performance. Hence the last part that wasn't supposed to be that long initially.

Special thanks to the Local Bar team for hosting this event, and big up to all the other artists involved: Comtesse du Ghetto, Coloscope, and Crash Server.

Live setup: Reason + MIDI controllers
Recording: Zoom H5

...organise des images qui ne rendent rien sur photographie ; les verts d’imprimerie s’y confondent et ratatinent le beau.

rice and rain (naviarhaiku599)

Made for Naviar Records' 599th Haiku Challenge

Ta-no-Kami (田の神) is an agricultural deity, or kami, who is believed to observe the harvest of rice plants or to bring a good harvest, by Japanese farmers. Ta in Japanese means "rice fields". Ta-no-Kami is also called Noushin (kami of agriculture) or kami of peasants. Ta-no-Kami shares the kami of corn, the kami of water and the kami of defense, especially the kami of agriculture associated with mountain faith and veneration of the dead (faith in the sorei). Ta-no-Kami in Kagoshima Prefecture and parts of Miyazaki Prefecture is unique; farmers pray before Ta-no-Kami stone statues in their communities.

Ta-no-Kami (naviarhaiku 599)

Improv on top of layer and layers of guitars found lying dormant. 

An alley leading off of a main road to a restaurant (or other business) is what I found a striking urban feature as I wandered around Kyoto.

Multiple, mostly inaudible, enhancements implemented.

Enjoy!

Based this on a Charlie Chaplin sample - loads of breaks, chops, bouncing and chopping again.

Descent

Konstantinos Baras, a Greek composer with a passion for complex and saturated sound, embarked on his musical journey following a diagnosis of HanDL syndrome at the age of 18. Baras is recognized for creating works that convey intense emotions and delve into the complexities of trauma, employing visceral, chaotic sounds marked by a continuous energy flow and aggressive gestures. 

Utilizing digital signal processing, noise, distortion and live interactivity, Baras extends the timbral profile of traditional instruments and seamlessly blends disjunct materials into unified structures. With interest in site-specificity and interdisciplinary collaboration, he works often with dancers and movement artists and engages creatively with space, lights, and visual effects. 

His continued entanglement with black metal and techno contributes to an arrestingly distinctive sound palette, exploring the potential of repetition and bodily mechanics to intensify a sound’s impact on the listener. Toward that aim, Baras organizes his compositions through various processes of iteration and fragmented circularity, manipulating duration and density, often utilizing repetitive material but subtly altering it with every reappearance. The end result is driving, gripping, and grave.

His music has been performed and commissioned by Ensemble Modern, Ensemble Intercontemporain Moscow Contemporary Ensemble (MCME), Vertixe Sonora Ensemble,Ensemble Multilaterale, among other, with performances in festivals and conferences such as, IRCAM ManiFeste, MIXTUR, Darmstadt, reMusik, ilSuono, Ticino Musica, among others.

Currently pursuing a PhD in Composition at Northwestern University, Baras holds Masters degree from Boston University, and Bachelors degree Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
