During the autumn of 2015, I spent 3 nights of spontaneous and chaotic recording session with myself, recluse in a welding factory in Drummondville (CA). I was armed with drums, a guitar, a bass synth, some bottles of red wine, recording stuff and some piercing and confused intentions. The main thing i can remember of those nights is that they were inspired by burgundy and deep purple colors. Finally, a white sun appeared.

dedicated to and assembled from the aural expressiveness of a particular automatic coffee maker.

we shall for the moment put aside the acute feelings of personal dismay associated with being already sufficiently conscious to hear these sounds when strikes the painfully early hour at which this beast is programmed to kick into gear -- it's never a good sign.

A weekend in September 2018, sleeping in a hammock close to the shore, recording mostly watery sounds with my brand new Sound Devices Mixpre-3. I used Audio-Technica AT-8022 mic for these recordings. Headphones, please!

As the title suggests, this work serves as the final lullaby one hears. The catastrophic aftermath of the recent earthquake in Turkey has profoundly affected even those who were not directly impacted by the disaster. This composition is the product of the thoughts that have occupied my mind since that fateful day.
The tape segment of the piece involves the manipulation of a recorded excerpt from the Turkish lullaby "Dandini Dandini Dasdana."

The piece was commissioned by Schallfeld Ensemble
