In between Marseille and Naples, and navigating through the Mediterranean . One is the city in which I was born; the other is the one that has adopted me.
“La vie en bleu” is an intimate immersion into two realities where the main element is still the sea. The sea that cleanses, that purifies, that represents a form of catharsis because you can immerse yourself and forget what’s left outside. In both cities, the sea filtrates reality, and this is also what water does in this radio piece. The intimate perspective becomes an aquatic trip.
Field recordings and hydrophonic recordings in a soundscape composition in which blue is the dominant color. Blue as the sea, blue as the colors of both Naples and Marseille’s football teams…

2021 #23: ASIP - A Weird Winter Gathering

After his debut on ASIP with the ‘impossible instrument’ focused album, Multiverse, https://soundcloud.com/gadisassoon follows with the Chaos & Order EP. Inspired by the relationship between the organic, synthetic and bionic elements of his approach to music creation, the EP comes to life across a number of versions, remixes and formats, inviting the listener to immerse themselves through the EP's fundamental elements in various different ways. https://asip.me/asipv037

Consisting of three core pieces of music, with each one originally conceived as Quadraphonic, the release expands into two immersive listening experiences. Firstly, the digital album with accompanying Binaural* mixes designed for expansive headphone listening and Dolby Atmos** versions for compatible devices. Second, a limited edition 2LP lathe cut, where each quadraphonic track has been split into two stereo versions, across 4 sides of vinyl, resulting in various potential playback scenarios.

“The continuum with synthetic and organic at opposite ends and bionic in the middle, bleeding into one another… that’s the roadmap of my work. I like this simple diagram because it’s easy to navigate, and there is so much to explore within and between these realms. When I write, I splay and combine these elements on more than two speakers if I can. The stereo field is a coded language, as are standard immersive formats that force the listener in a fixed perspective. Fine methods of delivery, but the experience of sound can be so much more - a happening…” - Gadi Sassoon.

This music ‘hacking’ mentality is further extended into three remixes of the tracks by fellow purveyors of intricate sound design; Olga Wojciechowska, Max Würden and FRKTL. Olga takes ‘Organico’ into a dramatic orchestral beat-driven space, Max Würden adds structure and warmth to Sintetico, and Sarah Badr (aka FRKTL) tunes extreme deconstruction in Bionico.

The end result is an experience that can be listened to in many different ways, across many different formats, inviting the listener closer to the many elements Gadi honed and crafted across his studio in Milan, and the EMS Elektronmusikstudion in Stockholm.

Featuring artwork by Noah M / Keep Adding, and mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri, Chaos & Order will be available as a digital album on Bandcamp featuring the original tracks, remixes and Binaural Versions and a 2LP Lathe Cut (30 copies) featuring the Quadraphonic Versions. There will also be a limited edition Metallic Print of the artwork available on Bandcamp

I recreated one of my favourite Aphex Twin prepared piano tracks off Drukqs by layering piano with Physical Audio's Preparation physical modelling synth. It’s the same “Net1” algorithm I used for “Pi” and other pieces of Multiverse, in plug-in form. The evolving and varied “muted prepared string” effect is achieved by applying random velocity in Ableton into my preset “Drukqs Plucks”, which ships with Preparation 2, by way of key and velocity mapping on string stiffness, rattler mass and nonlinearity.  You can get Preparation 2 for a discount by using the promo code GADI for all of August.  I am amazed how far the team has come since these algorithms were server based machine code, it’s basically ray-tracing for sound.
