"OSCines" focuses on the process of translating melodies found in birdsongs. The nightingale belongs to the clade Passeri also commonly known as Oscine, from the Latin root oscen meaning “a songbird.” Its birdsong is composed of a wide range of whistles, trills, and gurgles, which create a rich and vibrant melodic contour. Nightingale and clarinet samples serve as source and target materials (interchangeably) for spectral information collected via signal-processing detection systems. "OSCines" explores the alignment and collisions of distinct timbre features and melodic topologies within the virtual aviary of the stereophonic speaker space.

Welcome to Bertrand Fraysse's personal soundcloud.

The music presented here is solo music, mainly spiritual/ritual mood changing music/sounds.
Vibrations.

I'm working at lieu-commun, in Toulouse, France.
It's a contemporary art space in which I have a recording studio, and artistic residency, where I got all my instruments and invite people to record their and/or our music.

I play music for around 10 years, fascinated by a wide range of sounds and musics.
I'm percussionist in a two saxophone / one drum band called PIAK.
A trance duo called nibul (bandcamp)
A crazy trio with DJ Urine and Yann is the Bastard called Duck Hunters
playing concerts mainly in Toulouse and around. (France)

don't hesitate to contact me if you want me to play anywhere.

I'm curating an ever growing compilation of music from everywhere too = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFWtJc6hUX4&list=PLuhuUhnXoLtzwhC5W6U4QcDTTmiShSYl8

enjoy.

This is a one-man expedition into the nebulous and mysterious realm of sonic vibrations, noise and texture.

Focused primarily on the creation of extended ambient dronescapes as well as peculiar sound and texture experiments, Elementgestalten is a project on an endeavor to capture for the pleasure of ears and souls a handful of sounds from planet Earth.  



+++  All pieces may want to be listened to with stereo headphones, or better yet a surround sound system for maximum sonic depth.. +++

SCORPIO-L is a Macau-born London-based singer-songwriter, audio-visual artist, producer and director. As a self-taught one-man band, he has spent a decade to build up his own musical universe. Combined with enigmatic melodies and beats with deep vocals, his music has a nordic hint and a twist of oriental. He always likes to manifest social phenomena like mental illness, dark revelation and even politics and religion through music. In order to let more people understand the philosophy from his music, SCORPIO-L sings in English principally, but sometimes he hums as ad-lib in his own language.
