Adishatz monde !

"Projècte Calandreta" est un projet qui m'a été proposé par la Calandreta de Lescar (mercés a tu Joan-Pau e a l'equipa tota !) à la rentrée 2024 : la demande était de créer un morceau original de musiques traditionnelles et en occitan, et de le décliner ensuite dans des genres musicaux différents.
Le but du projet était de faire travailler les Calandrons sur les morceaux tout au long de l'année et, à la fois, les faire chanter et jouer de la musique mais aussi ouvrir leurs oreilles et leurs sensibilités à des genres esthétiques différents. Et par là même, leur faire explorer et découvrir les genres en questions, leur origine, comment ils sont faits... Au final, le but du projet était de leur montrer qu'on pouvait faire de la création avec la langue occitane du Béarn qu'ils pratiquent chaque jour. Et du coup peut être leur donner des envies de créer à leur tour !
Le morceau original est donc "Quan la musica e jòga_trad" et il a été décliné ensuite en versions rock, rap et électro. Les paroles sont simples et se retrouvent dans chaque morceau, sous des formes légèrement différentes. Elles sont pensées de manière à pouvoir facilement se les approprier, selon les codes de la chanson à répondre et à danser de Gascogne.
J'ai pris beaucoup de plaisir à imaginer ces morceaux et à réaliser ce projet : mercés enqüera a l'equipa de la Calandreta de Lescar e au son director Joan-Pau Goarré de me l'aver perpausat !

Bona escota e amistats, M.

magnus frickelsen livesets are not usual
he also goes very straight into the manipulation of the sounds. 
effects lover magnus shows a enthusiastic liveset - stream or download...

info:
only a few weeks ago we were very proud of the result from the further CONTACT liveset. allover a full range techno liveset with self created sounds and arrangements - and we didnt stop working on it and we want to share the upgrade of CONTACT -  the liveset became more samples, we added a lot of additional percussion elements to be sure that every sound played just one time. we overworked the setting of the channel effects and we named all created clips with senseful descriptions. it stayed raw and dirty but i wanted to change the main synth because of the old one was using system ressources without effort and then we found something maybe better. the one shot vocals became the most volume fixing work but there were many sounds that i changed because the sound was to similar to another sound. the channel effects got updated and the parameter manipulations were on nearly every given knob or fader. also the buttons became a overworked routine because i found a way where i think its more sorted and the overview makes sense. what you cant see is the colorful liveset in ableton while the process. just a small change and the whole liveset was clearer. now its complete structured and sorted what was our big hope. its near to the point where we say a better workflow isn´t possible... in this state of the work it became a detailed (experimental) minimal techno liveset with a high grade on groove and atmosphere. with supporting short vocal elements and more familiar sounds. we are proud of it because its the best work so far. 

maybe you like it too. comments welcome...

Inspired by one man’s over-the-top suffering and an over-compressed swarm of oscillating rage, this track is a love letter to The Wicker Man—but make it DnB.

Built in Ableton 12. Basslines scream. Synths sting. The bees are in your ears now.

🐝 Nic Cage wouldn’t approve. You definitely should.

Screaming Bees

We all feel it at times, and I guess that's what I tried to capture here. The progression hopefully signifies an inevitable escape.

I'd left this beat unattended for a while, so the mood took me and it turned into an unintentional boss fight.

I have been creating music since my misspent youth. Every song has a story.

I started with sample based tracks via Dance eJay and Acid Music on my x486 PC, the output from which I would describe as interpretive.

My first writing from scratch started with the glorious Yamaha RM1x and subsequently the Yamaha RS7000. With limited responsibility and seemingly endless weekends, I found the creative spark.

I have diddled a bit with my Teenage Engineering OP-1, Novation Circuit and Korg Electribe 2 (see tracks for evidence), and I briefly touched the Native Instruments Maschine MK2 but I didn't have the PC power to run with that.

Once Akai announced the MPC Live, I was positively salivating and purchased on release.

It has always been about an all in one box solution for me, and now I am only limited by my own creativity and precious free time (thanks, kids).

I write things that I like to listen to, but commercial music this is not. I could see my music in a game, artsy video or fever dream.

At least, when it's all done, I can say that I made some nice noise, even if nobody else thinks so.

Membre fondateur d'Artús (Rock In opposition / Gascogne), j'ai sillonné les routes de France, d'Europe et du monde pendant 22 ans et donné à entendre le chant traditionnel de Gascogne (Béarn et Landes) dans divers contextes (festivals de tous types et de toutes tailles, Smac, squats, café concerts, centre d'art contemporain, salle des fêtes...) et sous diverses formes (concerts, bals, performances, expérimentations sonores, installations, improvisations...).

J'ai fait partie de nombreux groupes :
- Artús, groupe principal
- Ad'arron, trad old school
- La Cleda, Biais, bal, collectif de la Nòvia
- Feiz Noz Moc'h, fest noz brut gascon/breton
- Bal Brut, bal sauvage
- Xarnege, musique de contrebande (Gascogne / Pays Basque)
- Megafonic, fanfare de poche polyphonique
- La Taula, veillée, improvisation pure
- Accompagnement de conteurs, Sèrgi Mauhourat, David Bordes avec Coline Hateau

J'ai fait partie de trois collectifs et compagnie mutualisant nos moyens et nos compétences dans la plus pure tradition du DIY (Do It Yourself) :
- Collectif Ça-i, membre fondateur depuis 2005
- Compagnie Hart Brut, depuis 2011
- La Nòvia, depuis 2011

Avec Artús, nous avons créé notre propre label de musique en 2009, Pagans, label de musiques enracinées pour sortir nos propres productions et aussi ouvrir le catalogue aux nombreux artistes dans les mêmes esthétiques. https://pagans.bandcamp.com/

Bref, nous avons déployé tous les moyens nécessaires à simplement exister dans un panorama culturel peu ouvert aux musiques traditionnelles et à l'expérimentation contemporaine.

Aujourd'hui, j'ai décidé pour de multiples raisons d'arrêter de jouer sur scène et de me poser tout seul dans la création et la production de musique chez moi, dans mon home studio, tel un artisan. Je suis polyinstrumentiste (violon, flûte à trois trous, tambourin à cordes, guitare, piano) et chanteur, je pratique les musiques traditionnelles de chez moi et n'hésite jamais à les confronter aux pratiques expérimentales et contemporaines et je maîtrise les outils de studio (Cubase, Ableton Live, Reason) et ses techniques (enregistrement, mixage, mastering).

C'est donc tout naturellement que je propose des services de composition et de création de musique ou de bande son pour l'audiovisuel (clip promotion, documentaire, film), pour l'événementiel (expo, évènement...), pour le spectacle vivant (théâtre, danse, jeune public) ou le jeu vidéo (musique, sound design...).

N'hésitez pas à consulter ma page Soundcloud : https://soundcloud.com/mat-u-baudoin ou Bandcamp (à venir) et à me contacter.
