Amarres en el Puerto de El Musel (Contact microphones)

This is my approach of rework of an old classic tune by Simon and Garfunkel, concentrating on the thought, how the ideas of "silence" and "sound" relates  to eachother. Enjoy.

Please check out the great original too!
Headphones highly recommended!

Stillness Studio

A lockdown measures finitude, shade tolerance. Like deciduous trees we bend, leaves upon the river. Tedium & anguish cement the ground building solidarity. Andrà tutto bene, they stick it on walls while streets familiarise with stillness. Stay put, for anomalies are schizoid, internally disjointed.
The risk, the perception of it, Gaussian figures, contain, delay, collective responsibility. An equaliser, they say, we’re all enrolled, sorted in descending order.

Science. What does it mean guided by science? Is intensive care a fact? The utmost care. Fatality is the wrong yardstick. What a solace to share the same vision, herd immunity. Herd immunity.

Ultimately, where is love? Love in the time of the outbreak.
A pandemic, 4 weeks behind.

Scanning An Ocean Of Sound (disquiet0455)

I decided, after looking at several of Martin's paintings, that I wanted to focus on that precision repetition, the light/dark alternation, and the subtle gradations of field.

The track is an improvisation inside Live, with one instance of the Buchla Music Easel (providing the upper-register track) and one of ARP 2600 V3 (providing the lower one), with Live's BrainDance and Squishy Beat Repeat effects to put in additional emergent rhythmic effects. I potted down both synths, gradually faded them in, and then slowly tweaked the filter frequency and resonance on the ARP, gradually adding in ore modulation from the ring modulator, then slowly removing it. The Buchla's variations came from tweaking the effects following it, but basically leaving the patch alone to imitate the regular ruled lines.

One Hundred Years (premiere)

My artist-friend Christophe Rodiac took that picture which inspired me at first sight, envisioning sound-objects splattering all over... Et voila !

Philippe Petit - Splash Sonic Disruption

Wednesday night, playing with loops, one seven beats long, the other eight, then layering occasional accent notes. Fade in and out just turning the knob on the amp once the loops were left to their looping. Recorded to phone put in front of the amp. Not sure why the eight-beat loop is more prominent than the seven-beat one, except perhaps that it's in 4/4 so the brain registers it more easily. Also not sure about that one hiccup at :46 seconds. Something suddenly went out of alignment and then came just as suddenly back into alignment. The bit at the very end isn't a tape cassette stopping. It just sounds like that.
