Fractal Friction

extract from the track 'the space between'
from the album 'where light touches'

this music is built upon the vibrational structures of the elements. at the most subtle level of being, in the equanimity of compassion.
nature or the self or the infinite emptiness of sky are all one.

all is mind, all is vibration
all that is can be seen as intervals, relations, architectures in interaction.
in the subtlety of the creases inside the surface are the intimate characteristics of all forms.

I’ll be seeing you in the interweave where all is reflected.

informed by emptiness.

in one grain of sand, the universe.

Knowledge Of Appearances

based on a piano sample from http://soundcloud.com/izumikimura
with soprano sax, electronics, field recordings, sound design and arrangements by hervé perez

the sun went out feat. izumi kimura (piano)

In the light of recent events, I have been thinking about this Coltrane song that moves me very deeply. I decided to transcribe the saxophone and recorded this version on the fly, in one take. Thinking of all my brothers. #BLM

Alabama

improvised weaving of vibrations. sound sculpture. cellular dance routines and nerve malaxation. brain entrainment and altered egos guarantied.
