Here is the recording of an ephemeral liveset I created for Ultratech Chaos Lab 1.0, the first instalment of a party series dedicated to experimental music and digital art. The event took place at le Local Bar, a great venue located in Strasbourg, and well known for its crafted beers and rock concerts. Even if there were few people, the vibe was great, and I remember very well this special feeling of complete freedom I had during my performance. Hence the last part that wasn't supposed to be that long initially.

Special thanks to the Local Bar team for hosting this event, and big up to all the other artists involved: Comtesse du Ghetto, Coloscope, and Crash Server.

Live setup: Reason + MIDI controllers
Recording: Zoom H5

Expedition 16: Ultratech Chaos Lab 1​.​0 (Local) [Intro]

while trying to sort out the archive I came across this recording from 27 May '22.
Unfortunately it is an unrecoverable project... the program it was created with (Ableton) crashes every time you try to open the project.
I don't remember anything about it, what equipment was used for the recording... 
the only thing that remains is this file, very interesting in my opinion.
it's pretty much as recorded except for a small reduction in volume and the duration changed by about a minute less..
the only attempt to try to recover it is to look in the archive for the days immediately before or after the creation to try to understand what I was working on in that period..

These are two studies realized in Csound in 1995 and revised in 2025. The first is a study on the timbral variations resulting from the interference of sounds with closely related frequencies; the second is a study on noise and the manipulation of sound through filters, delay, and feedback.

Thomas Sander × Aoki Satoru - Mountain

if only once belongs to a new collection of works that explores memory in attics, dusty mirrors, and half-drawn windows.   Fragments from life pass along with snippets of half-remembered tunes played on the piano.   It's still taking shape - but it certainly indicates a direction.
