Stochastic synthesis is a microsound synthesis technique invented by Iannis Xenakis that uses stochastic processes to create and vary waveforms. I composed all the sounds in this piece using my own extensions to Xenakis's stochastic synthesis algorithms that I have been developing for the last 20 years in the programming languages SuperCollider and C. No samples were used.

The online meetings we have all become accustomed to are often accompanied by the experience
of being distracted and drifting off into daydreams. In this piece, you will take part in a journey into
the mind of a host in an online meeting with multiple participants. You will hear how the ringing of
a phone, a car horn, or a glitch in the online stream trigger an irresistible sonic journey in which all
these events dissolve and abandon their old meaning to form new sound worlds that emerge from
their material.

« 100 vaches à l’heure » est une pièce quadriphonique pensée comme une installation sonore pouvant s’écouter en boucle. Réalisée dans le cadre de l’exposition photographique de l’artiste visuelle Anne Leroy intitulée « On voudrait pas se faire manger », la pièce nous plonge dans le quotidien d’une ferme de Haute-Marne. Les enregistrements de terrain (field recordings) réalisés sur place dialoguent avec des fragments d’entretiens de deux trayeurs.

Laura et Martial sont salarié.es d’une exploitation laitière sur laquelle trois cent vingt-cinq vaches sont traites matin et soir. Au quotidien, ils soignent autant les animaux que les machines : si la traite se fait encore en branchant les vaches à la main, l’alimentation des animaux est entièrement automatisée. Ensemble, ils nous invitent à réfléchir au sens du travail avec les animaux en élevage intensif.
 
C’est une version stéréo qui vous est proposée ici.

100 vaches à l'heure - création sonore (extrait)

A pack of wild Eurasian wolf howls after sunset in mountain forest of Vercors.
One male starts howling, quickly joined by the others in what might most probably be a rallying cry.

We can hear, behind the stridulating insects (Upland Green Bush-cricket), European edible dormouse squeaking and throwing things from the top of the trees.

Vercors, France, Late summer.

Eurasian Wolf, Wild pack howling in the mountains - Mélia Roger & Grégoire Chauvot

Blue Chemise documents the hermetic soundworld of Australia’s Mark Gomes. “Daughters of Time” follows 2017’s brilliant full-length “Influence on Dusk,” released in micro-edition on Gomes’ own Greedy Ventilator imprint. It is an elegiac set of vignettes recorded straight to dictaphone with minimal post-production. For me these pieces function in a manner akin to Loren Connor’s evocative “airs,” conjuring poignant, intangible senses of longing and nostalgia then disappearing well before overstaying their welcome. Regarding their genesis, Gomes points to a quote from Australian artist Robert Hunter: "It's like I'm external to them. They develop their own assertion and character; their becoming finished is a thing they decide themselves. It's unexplainable." LP/Digital available 9/7/2018 via studentsofdecay.com
