Asteroid * (∞) is

* some fragments from live & unprocessed 'potentially hazardous improvisations' created by the manipulation of a complex feedback patch on a KORG MS-20 mini and effects pedals.

* inspired by my fascination with the raw and aggressive sounds collected by space telescopes during different NASA missions.

Electronic piece for stereo audio support

Year — 2024
Duration — 10'38''
Première — tbd
Informations — Based on strange attractor models, ꋪꍟꉣꍟ꒒꒒ꀤꈤꁅ ꍏ꓄꓄ꋪꍏꉓ꓄ꂦꋪꌗ oscillates between states of equilibrium and non-periodic phases, repetitions and sudden bifurcations. The result is a very organic and fluid composition stretched or atomized in space — the material staggering from explosive bursts of percussive, noisy impacts to static but recurrent drones. The whole system expands gesturally from complex, chaotic activity to full suspension state — like an unpredictable, non-linear, yet adaptive and self-sustaining ecosystem.
