NightBirds - Modular 2.6 / 01 07 2021

Emma Grace
CRAVINGS OF PEGASUS
The third album, October 2021
A journey between organic and artificial soundscapes,
between verbal and non verbal sounds, with mythological guides and impulsive language. 

“Pegasus is the body that does not follow words, it is the one who doesn’t need to behave, the one who plays hide and seek when you’re not able to fall asleep. It is the urge to speak another language.
It’s there. When you finally trust yourself and the world around you.
It’s that voice that asks you to play in the mud, 
to sing,
and just be. ”

Composed and recorded by Emma Grace
Mastered by Capitano Merletti at Studio Garp

Released by Pipapop Records

***** ARTIST BIO *****

* French :

" NightBirds ", duo de musique électronique / expérimentale, originaire du sud de la France créé à la fin de l’année 1985.

L’idée de départ est née d’une simple phrase :  " créer la musique que l’on aurait aimé entendre ".
Le ton est ainsi lancé.

Le groupe ira dans la direction d’achats de multiples synthétiseurs analogiques, un monde sans mémoire et pour une création sonore infinie.
Leurs influences sont larges, mais pour seul point commun : le synthétiseur.

De 85 à 91 : ils enregistrent une multitude de démos sur K7 audio et bandes magnétiques afin de trouver un style propre à eux-mêmes. A cette occasion, ils finalisent leur première K7, un album (fin 89) : " GEODE ".
Le projet " Géode " est un des aboutissements de recherches et d’idées de leur musique, mais également une ouverture pour le style que les " NightBirds " vont se créer.
Le 26 juin 1993 : participation au festival " Electronic Waves " (Paris).
Suite à ce concert : de nombreux travaux sur bandes, continuité dans la recherche, l’expérimentation, mais aussi études sur les synthétiseurs et leur possibilité sur de nouvelles créations.
1994 : nouveaux travaux sur la bande de démo " Géode " et remasterisation.
Réalisation d’un mini album sur K7 : " Tree Birds ", jamais édité ou distribué.
En octobre 1995, ils donnèrent un concert de 2h30 au " Palais des Congrès du Cap d’Agde " : musiques improvisées et séquences sont au programme...

***** ARTIST BIO *****

* English :

" Nightbirds " is a french duo founded in 1985 by twin brothers who are interested in new electronic music.

At the very beginning, the original idea was to release an album late in 1985 with the few instruments they had. So Came their first self-produced album " Géode ".
After some years, " Nightbirds " presented their project live in 1993, at the " Electronic Waves " festival in Paris (France).
After this performance, the band studied electronic music instruments and mastering techniques.

The music of " Nightbirds " is like a picture of sounds full of ambiances, minimalism and electroacoustic events.
The band could be identified by the creation of long pieces like a gallery where artists could meet each other.

Their music in now known through self-produced releases and through some contributions like the " Dreamwatchers' Tales " series.
Now, " Nightbirds " go on their way creating electronic landscapes...
