DISCOMEDUSAE

“Qui influence qui?” nous lance Mathieu A Seulement. Pour ce volume de schisme.s, il nous convie à une exploration des allez-retours entre musique instrumentale et musique électronique, dans un monde où cette relation n’est plus unidirectionnelle. Ce qui d’ailleurs fait écho à son propre parcours entre plusieurs mondes. Sa formation rock expérimentale @technicalkidman flirtait déjà avec l’électronique voire l’industriel; EX PO (@mothland), premier album de son nouvel alter ego, nous porte ailleurs: des compositions électroniques pointues s’entrelacent avec des structures pop pleinement assumées. C’est sans doute un des albums francophones les plus aventuriers des dernières années. S'ajoutent à sa feuille de route plusieurs collaborations intriguantes, notamment avec les iconoclastes art-punk @crabecbrae ou le kraut-keb de @meteocielbleu. Mathieu nous convie à une heure de communion solennelle dans l’entre-deux-mondes analogue et digital.

schisme.s vol. 20 - SEULEMENT

Torrent tranquille été hanté

Autour d'un fait divers est une collection de 3 pièces enregistrées sur bandes magnétiques à l'été 2015, puis re-contextualisées par l'épreuve du temps sur les intentions et les moyens techniques, pour aboutir au résultat présenté ici quatre ans plus tard.

Dans la continuité du EP Plein de places. Des gens partout (2018) et des deux pièces Le Mensonge c'est l'extase (2018) et Nouveaux souvenirs du monde à refaire. Pour perdre ceux d'avant (2019), Autour d'un fait divers exploite les tensions entre méthodes d'enregistrement analogiques de basse-fidélité et synthèse numérique, ainsi que l'idée de sabotage formel de mélodies et de progressions harmoniques délibérément convenues.

Dans son ensemble, Autour d'un fait divers est nourri d'impressions de confinement, de spleen estival et de rêves obsédants et répétés.

*Photographie de couverture prise dans l'urgence à l'insu d'un salaud qui s'est brièvement glissé comme une mauvaise présence à la maison. Bon débarras. Continue de t'enfoncer...

Autour d'un fait divers is a short collection of pieces, recorded on tape during summer 2015, and recontextualised through the last years and the influence of time on artistic intents and technical means.

Following the path of the 2018 EP Plein de places. Des gens partout and the two singles Le Mensonge c'est l'extase (2018) and Nouveaux souvenirs du monde à refaire. Pour perdre ceux d'avant (2019), Autour d'un fait divers puts forwards the idea of tension between lo-fi analog recording techniques and computer-based digital synthesis, while embracing melodic and harmonic clichés, only to sabotage them in the meantime.

In a broader perspective, Autour d'un fait divers is built upon ideas of isolation, summertime spleen and recurring dreams.

*Cover photograph taken in a moment of urgency, stealing secretly from the life of a jerk who stayed briefly like a bad presence at home. Good riddance. Keep sinking deeper and deeper...

EXCEPTÉ 1

Taken from Hypnagogic Surge (GEN043). Presale is on!
To be released on November 22 on tape & digital on Genot Centre.

Produced by https://soundcloud.com/amselysen.
Mastered by @wimdehaen. 
Album cover by eurasiandesert.
Limited edition of 55 C29 tapes with on-body printing pro-dubbed by Headless Duplicated Tapes.

HYPNAGOGIC SURGE (GEN043) by AMSELYSEN is a dense setup of signal interferences, of jacked up, spliced, reconstructed digital snippets, of outbursts whose amplitude overcooks the microphone's defenseless circuitry. Anxious with unreleased energy build-ups, the music is always pregnant with a double quality, something like a dagger made from ice, the possibility to shatter or crumble into a thousand shards combined with the looming threat of clean rupture posed by the blade's edge. Digital distortion is used here to unmask materials, to frontally attack them and expose their shimmering metallic face; pitch-time processing dilemmas get dodged by exploding into the high frequency gleam embedded but hidden in their algorithms. Completely removed from the "Lo-Fi" paradigm seeking warmth or nostalgia, the present degradation-reconstructions result in newly audible chirp figures, the sparkle of aliasing and the descent into the grainy territory of microscopic sound events. From a more panoramic perspective, these tracks are continually transforming contraptions, with looping frames accelerating, doubling, halting or stuttering, overloading, seemingly struggling to buffer, sometimes mixing with immiscible materials to form a glistening suspension of new sound material.

// Hakeem Lapointe (Amselysen) about the album 
"Stemming from confusion, indignation, and feeling disoriented, Hypnagogic Surge appeals to dream-like lenses that reinterpret the everyday world; words lose clarity and are reduced to phonemes and their perceived energy, well-known advert jingles and hit songs are obfuscated and develop into undecipherable melodies, feelings ranging from relief to aggression flash quickly into succession without rhyme or reason. In the awareness gaps of the dream state, information is made up and averaged into confusing erroneous approximations — here translated in the poised presence of aural artifacts such as bad mp3 bit rate shimmer, 1/8in inlet pops, bad aliasing and interpolation, unshielded cable radio interference, fake stereo, inverted polarizing, etc 
Amselysen’s nightmarish interpretation of the hypnagogic state is heavily informed by tropes surrounding hardcore music, only this time the tropes are removed from their context and reimagined before reappearing into the album, thus resulting in a hyperreality; a simulacra of hardcore, intensity and dynamism. Remediating genres like punk, techno, metal, rap and noise through distant mimicry and radical sampling, Hypnagogic Surge approaches liminal reverie with a garish maximalist attitude."

// Amselysen artist bio 
Amselysen is Montreal-based intermedia artist Hakeem Lapointe’s latest musical project. It focuses on approaching experimental electronics with a critical lens, bridging the gap between conceptual spaces typically reserved to institutional practices and accessible aural aesthetics. Usually described as an outsider artist, never privy to the music academia and alien to most of the underground scene, Lapointe sheds all concerns for musical conventions and pursues their own sonic obsessions, which commonly sit in the leftfield genre. Their current work process ponders on indeterminacy, plunderphonics, hyperrealities, cultural foraging, and hypnagogia. 
Works, outside of their own visual practice, include scores and sound design for short films, performances and installations in various exhibitions, including the After Hours at the McCord presented under Kent Monkman - Shame and Prejudice: A Story of Resilience.

Jordan Torres Bussière is a musician and sound artist from Montreal, Quebec, who performs under his own name and within the duo Chabanel. Obsessed with the notions of ersatz and simulacrum, his practice is feeded with an interest in reframing different layers of signifiers and shifting between listening/recording perspectives. His work encompasses a variety of sound sources, such as electronics, field-recordings, guitar and voice.

Francesca Tallone is a multi-disciplinary artist and curator whose work is informed by natural and available materials and space and seeks to abstract them. Originally from California, she is currently residing in Montreal.
