Drowning Hymns

We Are All Abstract Critters (Tape Queue V7 S1)

NYX live at  Artacts Festival 2018 in St Johann Austria (excerpts)
Isabelle Duthoit – clarinet, voice
Sophie Agnel – piano
Angélica Castelló – paetzold, tapes, electronics
“We are unsure whether the music of the trio that will perform in the second part of the evening “comes from heaven or hell,” writes the ArtActs Festival. Agnel tickles the ivory, dives deep into the piano’s gut and finally offers us a special voyage to space. Duthoit first screams, cries, gargles and curses, then grabs her clarinet only to wring and stretch it, producing sounds which, eyes closed, we cannot discern from her own voice. And finally comes Castelló, an amazing sound designer, adding electroacoustic pearls to this masterful ménage à trois. Witchcraft!” (Miha Zadnikar)

Inspired by the ancient and the contemporary: 
''octogon branches'' is a work centered around 8 drone like ''moments'', created by synthesizer connected together by low gentle tamtam hits,  and is interwoven by chants, glassbowl and a bit of brass:)

Transforming The Energy - Ivy Told a Secret | Myrh

Some time ago Irunak/Musical Alchemy contacted me and asked me whether I would be interested in doing an electroacoustic rework of one of his tracks, “Octogon Branches” (which you can listen to here: https://soundcloud.com/musicalalchemy-545093364/octogon-tree). The track that I came up with appears (but only appears) to have taken a kind of sample from the original one and a weird kind of micro-melody has crept in ... I organized the resulting material in a sequence of 3 (or perhaps 4) sonic spaces that are linked together by transitions.

This experimental acoustic piece is meant to portray the Phoenician goddess Tanit fighting for her life in the darkest depths of the sea… I'm encouraging disinformation here, because "true legends" about her don't relate her drowning... Fake news or T.S. Eliot's influence in this title?

I am a sound artist/composer of acousmatic or electroacoustic music/musique concrète and a dj of dark industrial techno music (https://www.mixcloud.com/rbhuysmans/). In essence, I compose by listening. My music is expressionistic and it is often described as narrative and visually evocative. My interests are new, as yet unheard electronic sounds and textures, field recordings, sound art, combining electronic music with acoustic instruments, as well as projects with artists from other fields. In collaborations, I am looking for synergy and mutual enrichment and I want to learn new approaches and concepts. I have had the pleasure to work with other musicians (organ, percussion), performance artists of experimental dance (Butoh), video artists, fashion designers, and visual artists (painting, sculpture). Besides developing these interests further, I am looking forward to new as yet unknown areas to discover with my music.
