"I'm a somebody" from the EP "Tarek X I -V"

gærald - I'm a somebody

There’s a body of water in the woods near Carrboro. Dappled light on the trail leads you to it. Crunch of leaves underfoot. A river feeds the swimming hole where people plunge, naked and alive. On a chair you sit reminiscing about the future. After a dip, you lay on a big smooth rock - let the sun bake you dry. Then you walk further into the woods.

Like coming upon some keyboardists situated at the mouth of a cave, the entreaties on this record are calming but enigmatic, tinged with melancholy and reflection. Recurring motifs are given room to grow—there’s much space, and the progressions percolate, an auditory mapping of emotional crevices. Sentimentalism given a rougher edge. It lures you in; an orb appears, bright and buzzing. It motions for you to continue. As you do, a fragrance floats through the cave and fills your psyche, like a thousand roses hidden in the dark.

On "Keyboard Suite Vol. 1", MARV imbues analog subtractive and FM synthesis with a distinct physicality. Dub studio techniques and rigorously hand-played performances create an 'environmental' keyboard masterpiece strongly connected to the lineage of 1970s-80s private press ambient and electronic recordings-- but elegantly modern sound design and production methods center the album in the present day. A timeless quality pervades "Keyboard Suite Vol. 1", allowing for easy repeats, marinating the subconscious ache of loss with a dreamily resolute hope.

Delta est l’exploration sonore d’un territoire, celui de la séparation d’un fleuve, en deux branches, le grand Rhône et le petit Rhône. Un bout de terre qui marque la fin du sol et le début de l’eau où l’on trouve, des roseaux, des moutons, des moustiques et des bateaux au milieu des arbres.

Une réalisation sonore de Diane Augier effectuée lors du stage            « initiation artistique et technique à la réalisation sonore », sous la direction de Bertrand Chaumeton du 12 au 15 novembre 2022 à Arles.
