Some Disaster On Difusor

Groove n° 37

À l’aube,
Un petit duc sonne la cloche du village et réveille les rossignols,
Solo de mobylette qui dessine le paysage,
Un bourdon drague un saxophone,
L’eau capricieuse se fraie un chemin jusqu’au vignoble d’un mélomane, 
Le boulanger guette le vent…
Au commencement était le son.

Avec la participation de Vincent, Georges, Stéphane, Victor, Emma, Jacques, Marc et Myriam.

Création sonore collective réalisée par Ana Sany, Anaïs Binggeli, Celia Dessardo, Cicely Fell, Déborah Benarrosch, Irazema Vera, Jacob Redman, Léa Roger, Marie Casanova et Mathias Arrignon.

Night Listening means sitting, through the night, in a chosen location, as still and quiet as possible, often for many hours, absorbed in purely listening, while recording. This is an excerpt from a recent Night Listening. It involves three Brushtail Possums, and one Red Fox. The responses of the Possums to the barking of the Fox are very interesting. (Don't start with the volume raised to more than 50 to 60 per cent: some of the fox barks are quite close and loud.)

Recorded on the land of the Kaurna people.

2023.12.28 Night Listening. Night Forest. Red Fox and Brushtail Possums. Early Summer.

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!!!

Recorded shortly after a shower during the rainy season in the Atlantic Forest Reserve Mbaracayú, Paraguay. 

This dusk chorus climax is dominated by amphibians. After some initial research, the species heard are Leptodactylus elenae (or fuscus?), Leptodactylus mystacinus and a Dendrosophus (minutus or nanus). 

If anyone reading this can help to confirm or correct any of the ID, please get in touch. Thank you for listening!

Félix Blume is a sound artist and sound engineer. 
His work is focused on listening, it invites us to live sonic experiences that enable a different perception of the surrounding. He uses sound as a basic material in sound pieces, videos, actions and installations. His process is often collaborative, working with communities, using public space as the context within which he explores and presents his works. He is interested in myths and their contemporary interpretation, in human dialogues both with inhabited natural and urban contexts, in what voices can tell beyond words.
