An improvised field recording set on aquatic life and death in the age of the Anthropocene. It combines underwater recordings of singing glaciers, pulsating aquatic plants and water insects with spatial resonances from hydropower dams and reservoirs.

The Mutant Orchestra haven't been let out of their cavern for a long time. Possibly with good reason. Probably should have been more careful what or who I fed to them...

Inoperative System & SenSen - Rec:Arm V2

For this project I used a recording of a walk in the lovely Swiss mountain village of Ernen. You can hear lots of cow bells, children and a stroller. I cut several parts out of the recording that have wind shear, I then pitched them down and looped them, gradually focusing more on the windy parts. Also I added a Glockenspiel arpeggio. Drawing is based on a mural in Ernen.

Game of Phaune, Episode #9: Au-delà du Cercle - Avec Mélia Roger & Grégoire Chauvot

Aujourd’hui, on décolle avec nos oreilles dans les pas de Mélia Roger et Grégoire Chauvot. On suit avec eux les traces sonores, fragiles et puissantes, de ces présences multiples qui peuplent un paysage sans heure.

Et si à l’aventure, on ne sait jamais sur quoi on va tomber, on sait qu’on va tomber. Ici : sur un moment de grâce et de beauté.

Entrelacement de vies, territoires chantés, goût de l’air et frisson du monde, c’est Game of Phaune #9, avec Mélia Roger et Grégoire Chauvot.

Today, we take off with our ears in the footsteps of Mélia Roger and Grégoire Chauvot. With them, we follow the fragile and powerful sound traces of these multiple presences which populate a hourless landscape.

And if on an adventure you never know what you're going to fall in with, you know you're going to fall. Here: on a moment of grace and beauty.

Interweaving of lives, sung territories, taste of the air and thrill of the world, this is Game of Phaune #9, with Mélia Roger and Grégoire Chauvot.

Not sure this will be enjoyable to many people but:

These are the sounds of aquatic organisms recorded with a hydrophone via a Hologram Microcosm Granular/Looper/Delay/Pitch shifting pedal.  The Microcosm manipulated the sounds of aquatic organisms to create some mad soundscapes.

Recorded with:

A collection of found sound objects originally explored in an hands-on creative workshop exploring sound, object and mark making. This workshop was a collaboration between sound artist Emma Margetson, The Barber Collective and The Barber Institute of Fine Arts Learning and Engagement Team. The recorded found sound objects from this workshop were repurposed for this eight-channel composition, Abstracted Objects.
