Création sonore réalisée pour l'installation "Galb’Achalay" d'Abdessamad El Montassir en collaboration avec Matthieu Guillin, compositeur.
Composée originellement sur un système 5.1.
Compositeur: Matthieu Guillin
Poésies/poetry : Badi Wel M'hamed Salem
Voix/voice : Wel Sidi


Galb’Achalay puise dans les formes architecturales du Sahara et ses ruines afin de retracer et raviver ses micro-histoires. Composée à partir de poésies du Sahara, Galb’Achalay emprunte aux chants et récits méconnus de ce territoire pour ouvrir un interstice inédit qui laisse émerger et se déployer une histoire dominée. Galb’Achalay est réalisée en étroite complicité par Abdessamad El Montassir et Matthieu Guillin.

Excerpt from a live recording at Les Instants Chavirés, Montreuil, 17th June 2022

Les Instants Chavirés LIVE Excerpt 17June2022

Far from the extended still lifes and mises en abîmes of their acclaimed Penultimate Press debut A Sunset for Walter (PP43, 2019), Noetinger & Pateras’ 15 Coruscations weaves frequencies & stirs data into an agitated series of deft psychoacoustic miniatures. Employing electronics as a deformed mirror reflecting joyous lacerations & interweavings, 15 Coruscations borrows from both brut & skilled musical practises, emerging from the current despair to blister light across the moribund horizontalities of post-surveillance musical product. 

Jérôme Noetinger (Marseille, 1966) is one of the most respected composer/performers of electronic music working today. Discovering the ReVox B77 as a powerful tool for live electro-acoustic creation in the mid 1980s, he has developed a singular performance language unmatched in agility & invention. 

Anthony Pateras (Melbourne/Naarm, 1979) works at an evolving nexus of notation, improvisation, electro-acoustics + keyboard instruments. Active since the late 90s as both a composer of concert music and independent bandleader, he has created a unique body of work across multiple genres & contexts. 

Noetinger & Pateras’ working relationship began in 2009 in the Thymolphthalein quintet (Editions Mego, 2011), extending through to the development of the 6-channel tape part for Pateras’ percussion sextet Beauty Will Be Amnesiac Or Will Not Be At All (Immediata, 2017). Establishing their duo in 2018 with A Sunset For Walter, they have performed across Europe in both piano/tape and pure electronic configurations. 15 Coruscations is their latest testament to their quest for the unheard, deploying tape, computer, samplers, garbage, environmental recordings, lo-fi electronics, hi-fi circuitry and a deep love of all things concrète.

Jérôme Noetinger & Anthony Pateras - Coruscation 1

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.

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.
