An improvised field recording set on aquatic life and death in the age of the Anthropocene. It combines underwater recordings of singing glaciers, pulsating aquatic plants and water insects with spatial resonances from hydropower dams and reservoirs.

Game of Phaune, Episode #9: Au-delà du Cercle - Avec Mélia Roger & Grégoire Chauvot

Aujourd’hui, on décolle avec nos oreilles dans les pas de Mélia Roger et Grégoire Chauvot. On suit avec eux les traces sonores, fragiles et puissantes, de ces présences multiples qui peuplent un paysage sans heure.

Et si à l’aventure, on ne sait jamais sur quoi on va tomber, on sait qu’on va tomber. Ici : sur un moment de grâce et de beauté.

Entrelacement de vies, territoires chantés, goût de l’air et frisson du monde, c’est Game of Phaune #9, avec Mélia Roger et Grégoire Chauvot.


 ——

Today, we take off with our ears in the footsteps of Mélia Roger and Grégoire Chauvot. With them, we follow the fragile and powerful sound traces of these multiple presences which populate a hourless landscape.

And if on an adventure you never know what you're going to fall in with, you know you're going to fall. Here: on a moment of grace and beauty.

Interweaving of lives, sung territories, taste of the air and thrill of the world, this is Game of Phaune #9, with Mélia Roger and Grégoire Chauvot.

I'm embarking on a new project series that will focus on long-form generative eurorack pieces. I was delighted to discover the ability to use the Generations generative midi controller that was created by Innesti (innesti.bandcamp.com/merch/generations-handmade-midi-controller) with the 1010 Bitbox Micro, and so this combination created the foundation for the piece. I very much consider this to be a companion piece to my recently released 'Generational Drift-A Seasonal Reflection in Four Movements' on Handstiched* (handstitched.bandcamp.com/album/generational-drift-the-celestial-sphere), as some of the elements are shared, as well as the use of Generations, however, this feels quite a bit warmer...thus Spring.

Basic patch notes~

Generations triggering four midi clips in Bitbox, as well as modulating various parameters (pan, filter cut off). Other samples in Bitbox triggered by random gates from Marbles, witch is slowly clocked by PNW. White noise triggering ProbMel/ProbDiv in O_c Hemispheres, which is delicately playing Rings, which then goes thru Draad and Monsoon. Øchd is creating an offset drone from Ensemble Osc and Plaits + Three Sisters, all while sending modulation to various param's throughout..

Recorded 4/21/24...Eurorack > Bluebox > Ableton, and then a basic mastering chain..

I hope you'll enjoy, and hopefully I'll be able to continue with these bits for the foreseeable future :)
