Jackhammer Etude

Jackhammer Étude

I'm working on this kind of intense free improvisation with electric guitar. I played this solo improvisation today. Just several distortion/overdrive/fuzz-units and telecaster abusing.

I have never washed this window and never will

En contrebas d'une route qui serpente, la mer sans couleur enfante des monstres
d’écume ; prenant toutes les formes inqualifiables,
ils s’acharnent contre des têtes de granit lisses.

—T’as jamais vu la mer ?
Elle est apparue.
— Si pourtant.
Sans m’enlacer, sans que je la retienne ensuite,
elle m’a frotté la joue du bout de son nez, transi(e).

— On va pas rester là, planté(e)s.

***

10 serpents nouent son âme.

Dehors, ils délirent. Et dans les loges ?

These are two studies realized in Csound in 1995 and revised in 2025. The first is a study on the timbral variations resulting from the interference of sounds with closely related frequencies; the second is a study on noise and the manipulation of sound through filters, delay, and feedback.

Trav-ah-lynn Blues

I'm on this mountain, 
Just trying to get off 
I got me twenty more lengths left,
But I feel I'm getting soft
Can’t you see, I got me
The trav-ah-lynn blues

I got many miles of road ahead, 
N' I'm behind my time, me 
I'd like to be at the end of it all, 
But I simply can't break free
Can’t you see, I got me
The trav-ah-lynn blues

I'm on this cloud,
Spiralling out of control
I'd pull the cord,
B’daren’t before sugaring the bowl
Can’t you see, I got me
The trav-ah-lynn blues

My cigarette dangles,
I'm out of my tree
I got sand in my eyes, n’soon t’b 
Swept into this crushing sea
Can’t you see, I got me
The trav-ah-lynn blues
