Midori Hirano Keep Shining

Another recording from inside the nest, this time made in the evening.  The wasps line the entrance to their hole in the bank and are far more bad tempered than during the day.

Recorded with two ECM77b's to Sound Devices 744T.

Divisio Spiralis X (2019)

The intricate sonic activity behind 'Live at default' testifies to Francesco Corvi's recent post-acousmatic practice. Intense multi-layered textures and rich synthetic soundscapes are fused with micro-sounds. Highly detailed digital noise is made warm and enchanting by the live performance and ambience recordings, and reaches its best character on magnetic tape.

"In my practice software is not conceived as an instrument, neither as a virtual agent, but rather as a dynamic network of interconnected components that exhibit emergent properties by monitoring their own behavior, adapt to changes and alter their own structure. Immersed in this ecosystem of sonic processes, I shape the unfolding of the performance by modifying the software on stage and responding to its behavior. This peculiar form of improvisation possesses a unique performative idiom that cannot be reduced to bodily gestures or human intentions, as the sonic activity itself becomes the medium for conveying the liveness of the performance. This release focuses on how such a feeling of liveness might be translated into a record, placing particular attention on the capturing of the acoustic space of the concert hall and the additional layer of meaning it creates."

Francesco Corvi (aka nesso) is a performer, composer, and multimedia artist. He works with custom digital technologies including live coding environments, adaptive systems, and spatial audio engines,
creating shows at the intersection of computer music, new media art, and deconstructed club. He released music on Superpang, Kaer'Uiks, Genot Centre, HEEL.ZONE, Mossa records, Riforma.

Game of Phaune, Episode #9: Au-delà du Cercle - Avec Mélia Roger & Grégoire Chauvot

Aujourd’hui, on décolle avec nos oreilles dans les pas de Mélia Roger et Grégoire Chauvot. On suit avec eux les traces sonores, fragiles et puissantes, de ces présences multiples qui peuplent un paysage sans heure.

Et si à l’aventure, on ne sait jamais sur quoi on va tomber, on sait qu’on va tomber. Ici : sur un moment de grâce et de beauté.

Entrelacement de vies, territoires chantés, goût de l’air et frisson du monde, c’est Game of Phaune #9, avec Mélia Roger et Grégoire Chauvot.

Today, we take off with our ears in the footsteps of Mélia Roger and Grégoire Chauvot. With them, we follow the fragile and powerful sound traces of these multiple presences which populate a hourless landscape.

And if on an adventure you never know what you're going to fall in with, you know you're going to fall. Here: on a moment of grace and beauty.

Interweaving of lives, sung territories, taste of the air and thrill of the world, this is Game of Phaune #9, with Mélia Roger and Grégoire Chauvot.

A collection of found sound objects originally explored in an hands-on creative workshop exploring sound, object and mark making. This workshop was a collaboration between sound artist Emma Margetson, The Barber Collective and The Barber Institute of Fine Arts Learning and Engagement Team. The recorded found sound objects from this workshop were repurposed for this eight-channel composition, Abstracted Objects.
