Divisio Spiralis X (2019)

Our initial dialog with Synthia was an adventurous creative endeavour that made us question whether machines could have a soul. This one definitely spoke her mind, and left a fascinating mark on both of us as a wondrous machine––––––woman, a marvelous piece of engineering, an entity trapped in a modular eternity.

Considering that neither of us had any previous contact with such a complex modular system such as EMS Synthi 100, we took a somewhat intuitive approach. This is a fairly raw glimpse of the first days spent in the studio.

Oh, Synthia, we only just met...

Happy birthday Mark!!!

basne——side B

We are living the dawn of artificial intelligence and it's a wave we can't stop. I've been intrigued by this idea throughout the majority of my life, yet I cannot fully express in words the fear I now feel at its gates.

From Hollywood to Japanese animation, the majority of sci-fi infused dystopian atmospheres to this concept..yet all of it felt so far fetched and out of my lifetime; (and although never seemed impossible) at the time felt something exclusively for enjoyment purposes...yet, here we are.

Don't get me wrong, the aesthetic is just right, I will always be entertained by experiencing a vision of some future; something that is an evolution of life at the moment, yet honestly, as much as I'm inspired by it, I cannot help but feel a bit xenophobic on this matter (as a normal 21st century person should feel, I might add..)

Anyways..one particular monument of this theme is 'Ghost In The Shell' (1995) by the genius of Masamune Shirow, which offers insights on the first instances of silicon-based sentience. 'The Power Of A Shell Is The Power Of Its Ghost' is an ambient piece I've composed inspired by this theme.

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.

What The Phaune

What The Phaune #6 - Game of Phaune #9, avec Mélia Roger & Grégoire Chauvot

Like a flower bed with blight
Like a handshake with no right.
Never mentioned, never tried.
You need things I can’t provide

No, I never could quite
Seem to jury rig my might
Even through years gone by
No one wants a man who whines

What am I made of?
Of is hard to describe.
Someone out there knows it.
You’ll ask & he’ll reply

Like the moon without sunshine
Like surfing without the pine
Even with unlimited time
I would never make you mine.

No, I never could quite
Control what would incite
My clipping R Waves in their heights
Or what reminds me of you. What a plight!

What am I made of?
‘Of’ is hard to describe.
Someone out there knows it,
Can explain & tell you why.

What am I made of?
Of is hard to describe.
Forget that, all I know is
I couldn’t be the head of a wife.
I couldn’t be the head of your life.

So what happened was that More was at Kado's place then he started jamming alone in the living room/ studio with some synths and drum machines.
Kado decided to join in and without talking nor preparations they recorded a 31 minutes improvisation.
The day after they sent it to me to check it out and i was like ''man this is some pretty cool raw minimal techno groovy stuff, i think i would like to edit and add some stuff to this and make some tacks out of it.''
And they said yes.
I was mad happy.
So here is the first track out of this jam... other tracks will come eventually

Here is what David Davies wrote about it in MIXMAG 1994:
„This Frankfurt multi-media outfit are futurist pioneers. This, though, is the first proper release on their own label. Of the four tracks here „Modemocracy“ somehow manages to get an electronic rhythm going that seems very natural, almost heart-beat like, yet is nippy enough to dance to. This is brilliance at work.“
