A packed 60 seconds. Can't praise it enough.

"Foam. The space between the white and the noise.
Embodying the foam and the space between the white
and the noise."

Annotazione*

"Schiuma. Lo spazio tra il bianco e il rumore.
Divenire schiuma e spazio tra il bianco
e il rumore."

Annotation* tries to capture 'Tristitia', an affect and a state of the soul. An embodied experience blending sorrow and pain.

Field Writings I est une pièce improvisée née de quatre accords/amalgames de notes prédéterminés.  Nous y jouons avec la rencontre et la quasi-synchronicité des sonorités de nos instruments afin de bouger au sein de ces bassins de notes.  Prenant l'allure d'un thème et variation, la progression harmonique reste la même tout au long de la pièce mais la clarté de l'harmonie se voile ci et là du aux libertés et développements que nous empruntons.  La pièce suit le parcours d’un élargissement énergétique depuis une mélodie à l’unisson et d’un retour final à son miroir plongeant vers le bas.

SenSen - 173th

Our initial dialog with Synthia was an adventurous creative endeavour that made us question whether machines could have a soul. This one definitely spoke her mind, and left a fascinating mark on both of us as a wondrous machine––––––woman, a marvelous piece of engineering, an entity trapped in a modular eternity.

Considering that neither of us had any previous contact with such a complex modular system such as EMS Synthi 100, we took a somewhat intuitive approach. This is a fairly raw glimpse of the first days spent in the studio.

Oh, Synthia, we only just met...

Happy birthday Mark!!!
