Composed and performed by Francisco Meirino & Jamasp Jhabvala

The source material for this disc is the sound of different setups involved in additive manufacturing : fiber laser emission, powder deposition system, electromagnetic inspection and ultrasonic cleaning.

The setups were activated by Jamasp Jhabvala and recorded by Francisco Meirino with binaural microphones, custom electromagnetic field recorders, eIectronic PVDF stethoscopes, stereo condenser microphones, hydrophones and piezo transducers.

Then a multichannel improvisation session was recorded with Jhabvala pIaying the vioIin and Meirino using the source recordings through a max/msp patch on the computer.

Edited and mastered at Shiver Mobile.

Anecdotic musics.
As with Luc Ferrari, it is an assemblage of recorded sequences in which we recognize a succession of various events and we reconstruct in our imaginary a possible narrative that may have been at the origin of these sounds. This is not the sound landscape (Soundscape or Field recording) whose neutrality of the author
must be one of the characteristics. It is not reportage. Above all, it involves the assembly, by montage and superposition, of sounds of different origin with the intention of composing a musical continuity which can be assimilated to some kind of sonorous narrative.
In any case, it is the listener who has to construct his own history based on his recognition of the sources, or according to his interpretation of these sources. The composer organizes the different sounds, puts them in relation, creating associations but also contradictions in the mind of the listener.

"Nabla" is based on the APL, an information processing description language designed in the 1960s to conveniently describe global operations on mathematical and pre-computing arrays, the PLA grammar was similar to that of natural language but did not use words, but many signs, each corresponding to a specific concept. 
In this language, the sign Nabla (∇) means that one wishes to enter 
or leave the mode of definition of a function.

A short extract edited from various tracks from my forthcoming CD
 "Undetected (untreated recordings from on-site testimonies archives)" 
on Japanese new label  "oto"

http://oto-jpn.narod2.ru/oto_releases/

For this CD, I have chosen to compile a selection of sounds
extracted from my personal audio library, sounds that I have
recorded sometimes at home, sometimes during my travels.

I have incorporated « field recordings » in almost all of my
previous works but I never had the chance to present on disc
these sounds untreated, exactly as they are, nothing added.

With this CD I hope to have achieved, with the
help of a carefully chosen track listing, an enjoyable listening
experience.

Undetected (extracts from various tracks)

Butcher edit of various parts from my new piece 
"Hear After : matters of auditory paranoia " to be released by

Francisco Meirino & Kiko C. Esseiva "untitled extract"

In 2019, Serge Vuille, the artistic director of the Ensemble Contrechamp, invited me to work for a few days with 4 musicians of the Ensemble. A sort of tryout for a future piece commission. I asked the musicians to imitate, each one of them, a specific soundscape that I created on my modular synthesizer for their specific instrument.  I ask them to only use their instruments in acoustic, no electronic effects.

Ensemble Contrechamps plays Francisco Meirino's "Imitation Of An Action"(work in progress - extract)

Spanish, born in 1975, Francisco Meirino is active since 1994 (as phroq until 2009) in experimental music and live performance. 

His music explores the tension between programmable material and the potential for its failure, he is primarily interested in the idea of recording what is not supposed to be : gear failures, the death of PA systems, magnetic fields and electro-static noises and in how he can use them and hear them radically out of context. 
Francisco Meirino's music is fascinating by its physical intensity and detail precision. 
He mainly works with the computer, modular synthesizer, reel-to-reel tape recorders, magnetic fields detectors, piezo tranducers, field recorders and various home-made electronics. ﻿​

His music is widely published by labels such as : 
Misanthropic Agenda / The Helen Scarsdale Agency / Antrifrost / Fragment Factory / Idiosyncratics / Entr’acte / Firework Editions / Gerauschmanufakur / Banned Productions / Shiver Sounds / Observatoire etc… 

More than 200 live performances in various venues in Europe, Japan and North America and in festivals such as : 
Borderline (Athens, Greece) / La Digestion (Naples, Italy) / Textures (London, UK) / La Cité (Lausanne, Switzerland) / Ende Tymes (New York, USA) / Cable (Nantes, France) / Santander Arte Sonore (Santander, Spain) / Activating The Medium (San Francisco, USA) / LUFF does Tokyo (Toyko, Japan) / Observatori (Valencia, Spain) / Musica Genera (Warsaw, Poland) / Norberg Electronic Music Festival (Norberg, Sweden) / Akousma (Montréal, Canada) / Lausanne Underground Film and Music Festival (LUFF, Lausanne, Switzerland) / Ertz (Bera, Spain) among others… ﻿​

Over the years, he had the honor to collaborate on studio and in live with great artists such as : 
Eryck Abecassis / Leif Elggren / Dave Phillips / Scott Arford / Michael Gendreau / Michael Esposito / Randy H.Y. Yau / Lasse Marhaug / Gerritt Wittmer / Kiko C. Esseiva / Jason Kahn / ILIOS / Tim Olive / Mike Shiflet / Roro Perrot / Miguel A. Garcia … ﻿​

He has been commissioned with music for: 
Yann Marrusich / Ensemble Vortex / Ensemble Oscillateurs / Ensemble Phoenix / Cie Greffe/Cindy Van Acker / Pro-Helvetia / Radio Airplane / Mostra d'Art Sonor i Visual de Barcelona / Standard/Deluxe / Radio Pic-Nic /  Residency at GRM / Residency at EMS / Galeria Valenzuela Klenner (Columbia) / Workshop at HEAR (France) ﻿​

Francisco Meirino has been awarded with the Award for Electronic Music Composition 2003 by Pro-Helvetia - Swiss Arts Council. ﻿​﻿​

He lives and works in Lausanne, Switzerland.
