“6 Hauntings” are a set of generative soundscapes based on material recorded for the digital release “Hauntings”. Each piece is continuous, without a start or an end and the music is suspended in constant flux, ever evolving. The system keeps launching new combinations of sounds based on carefully set probability rules and durations and the stream of samples is fed into a chain of digital effects. Thus, (dis)harmonic textures appear, fight for attention and then eventually die away. 
At any time the listener experiences just a fraction of the infinite number of possible combinations that the setup can generate. And yet, stochastic as the process may be, the sonic landscape soon settles for a steady tonal colour and mood. The compositional objective here is Complexity, not Chaos.

6 Hauntings

Fourth Haunting (based on Ningyo)

~1992. Korg DS8 and Prophet Six-Trak.

This special extended version was probably a live recording. Mix treatments by Dirk Serries/vidnaObmana (thanks!).

Album version on CD "Cambrian" (2014).

Meeting Infinity On The Riemann Sphere (Long version)

2000.

Treated loops of electric guitar. 

An unused piece from early recordings for the Cambrian album.

Dendrimérique 2 - Boucles

2000.

Treated electric guitar. As its name suggests, this piece can be heard both forward and backward and will sound exactly the same. It's a mirror recording.

An unused piece from early recordings for the Cambrian album.

A Sonic Palindrome

Prophet 12, Sledge, Wavestation.

Recorded live in Augsburg at Re:flexions festival (Aug 8th 2016, Ganze Bäckerei). Thanks to Sascha Stadlmeier!

Dream Damage (live in Augsburg)

A studio rehearsal of a track prepared for my set at Cosmic Night Festival, 2nd Edition (Carthusian Church of St-Martens Lierde, Belgium, 2014).

With a gentle (and humble)nod to TD...

The Devastations Of Epiphany

Early live versions of two pieces for my Taxon album, played as a continuous soundscape. 

Recorded live in Dießen-am-Ammersee (Germany), at the 2017 Rinneberg exhibition. I mainly played Prophet 12, Sledge & loops.
