Voyage One

sometimes the most trivial occurrences can turn into very significant ones. This recording is a result of being in quarantine for 10 days due to Covid- from June 7-17. I had time to think very differently during this time and as a result learned a lot from my experience-:)

Tone construction 01

Sturnus vulgaris cohibitus (2020) for piano & transducers inside the piano. 
Performed by Marco Riccelli (der/gelbe/klang). Recorded by Asparuh Tashev at Villa Waldberta 17.06.2022.
The impact of the lockdown on nature was pronounced, as people were confined at home, animals began to feel freer in cities, pollution and noise levels decreased and birdsong became more audible. Confined at home, I began to watch starling flocks in my garden and listen to their (by my first-impression) non melodic songs. I wanted to capture their voices, turning them into a virtual instrument.
Composition Sturnus vulgaris cohibitus reflects on the idea of confinement. Piano part has a developed rhythmical language and is treated as a percussion instrument with prepared strings inside the big resonating box. Tiny speakers inside the piano play the brief starling calls which have a timbre function, creating a reverb and later a delay of a played instrument. Expanding its register the piece progresses keeping the dependency between piano and tape while symbolising a bird trapped between the strings, only making sound when struck by piano hammers but still hoping to break free.

Nearly imperceptible shifts and trends, all the things that happen when you're not paying attention - and then something from that background noise erupts and changes everything...

Pyrrhic Victories

From the 1st Album of Seuil Optique, "Sparks" (Snow in Water Records, 2019).

Ce duo, composé de Sig Valax et Nicolas Tourney, propose une expérience singulière d'écoute musicale dans le noir.
Plongeant scène et public dans une obscurité intégrale, Seuil Optique élabore des transmissions électroniques éthérées, fabrique des drones qui oscillent entre bruitisme et voyage cinématique, sublime ces objets du quotidien que nos habitudes avaient rendu inaudibles. En bousculant les frontières entre l’écoute, la manipulation aveugle des machines et l'expérience immersive proposée au public, les deux musiciens recherchent de nouvelles pistes sonores. Cette recherche est aussi une exploration, en dialogue permanent avec les musicalités hybrides et la pratique d'instruments rares. Sur scène, ils utilisent des stratégies d'improvisation volontairement "ouvertes", et s'autorisent après-coup des chemins différés dans la création radiophonique.
Seuil Optique sort son premier EP (Still Crossing) chez Snow in Water Records en juin 2019.

This duo, composed of Sig Valax and Nicolas Tourney, offers a singular experience of listening to music in the dark.
Plunging stage and public in complete darkness, Seuil Optique elaborates ethereal electronic transmissions, manufactures drones which oscillate between noise and kinematic voyage, sublimates those objects of the daily life that our habits had made inaudible. By jostling the boundaries between listening, the blind manipulation of machines and the immersive experience offered to the public, the two musicians seek new sound tracks. This research is also an exploration, in permanent dialogue with hybrid musicalities and the practice of rare instruments. On stage, they use improvisation strategies voluntarily "open", and allow themselves after-the-fact paths in radio creation.
Seuil Optique released its first EP (Still Crossing) at Snow in Water Records in June 2019.

summer vacation

Seuil Optique, duo of Sig Valax and Nicolas Tourney, offers a unique experience of listening to music in the dark. Immersing the stage and the public in constant darkness, Seuil Optique creates soundscapes where electronic transmissions, acousmatic landscapes and refined drones intersect. By jostling the boundaries between listening, blind manipulation of machines and immersive experience offered to the audience, the two musicians explore new sound tracks, in permanent dialogue with hybrid musicalities and the practice of singular instruments: persephone, field recording, electro-acoustic devices, matrices and samples.

On stage, they use deliberately “open” improvisation strategies and defeat the boundaries between manipulating machines in the dark, harmonics tinged with noise-producing materials and the “eyes closed” hearing experience offered to the public.

Seuil Optique builds frescoes where electronic impulses, slow gestures and acoustic responses intersect: each of their albums, tells the story of an eyeless camera, of a journey beyond the screen. An ephemeral present filled with the memory of this interior film that everyone projects on their eyelids in the evening.
