Génial ! Et un casting d'exception. Bravo !

@user-123934429 merci pour ton retour 😊

Fay(tr)/fault; A fault is a fracture or zone of fractures between two blocks of rock. Faults allow the blocks to move relative to each other. This movement may occur rapidly, in the form of an earthquake - or may occur slowly, in the form of creep. Most faults produce repeated displacements over geologic time.
The aim of this piece is mainly create polyphonic texture with a solo instrument. The main material has explored in the piece with it’s inharmonicity and the textural and rhythmical aspect of it’s granular quality.

a short excerpt from " Riavvolti ( elegia for Alzheimer's disease )"

Théalie se passionne pour les punaises ! surtout pas les punaises de lit mais celles qui se cachent dans la végétation. Elle est émerveillée par leur diversité, leurs formes, leurs couleurs. Elle n'est pas la seule !  il y a même une association de passionnés de punaises ! Un univers bien loin des idées reçues.

Avec les voix de Théalie Dhellemmes, François Dusoulier, Thérèse, Laura,  Martin et Olivier Pichard. Remerciement aux familles Pichard, Cathé et Crépin pour leurs écoutes critiques.

Oscillation

Multlayer performance by Jeff Gburek and Karolina Ossowska. Compositional framework generated by JG -- process derived from feeding a fire place while playing frame drum, cymbals and singing bowls so that the sounds of kindling, shovelling ash and other actions blend with the playful dance or organizing the burn. Karolina Ossowska improvised 3 violin tracks to accompany the stem sounds. These violin sounds (col legno battuto, flageolets, pressurized bow-drags) were reconfigured, splintered with various time-line offsets but remain organic and never subjected to any granular convolutions. Sounds from shortwave radio SDR create a kind of cantus firmus reflecting yet again the ionosopheric morphing layers of the planet in geomagnetic warped transitions as expressed by signals bounced into open radios tuned between stations on the floor. Work in progress/regress, clearly. I am reminded of a recent conversation whereine I paid homage to the nature mystic and great Romanian-born architect of chaos theory music, Iannis Xenakis.

The idea of stream recalled in the title and central in the piece has been inspired by Anselm Kiefer’s painting Alchemie consists of two canvases showing a dry desert-like landscape connected by a balance. A rainfall of salt and sunflower seeds falling down from the balance’s dishes. 
That’s a strong symbol of a possible new life re-growing from the desert landscape which is directly connected with the art of alchemy transforming lead into gold.


On the other hand streams of grains (especially salt) are traditionally associated with purification rituals of mind and spirit.
Driven by the strong symbolic meaning of this canvas and the message of hope that it conveys to me, I imagined a sound-world made of grains and streams which arise from silence and saturate space and time until leading the perception to an in-between dimension where temporal references are loosen.

Passionné par les sons en général mais avant tout par les sons de la nature. J'ai donc une affection particulière pour l'audionaturalisme mais je suis ouvert aussi au field recording plus largement.
