This live was created for Molitor 3, an electronic music event organized by my friend Marti.B at Elastic bar which is one of the most famous venues of Strasbourg nightlife. Unfortunately the event didn't have much success, but it didn't stop us to share a beautiful moment with Marti and his two other guests: Canine who invited me few weeks earlier, and Brian Burger, an electronic music producer close to the German techno scene.

Thank you Marti.B for involving me in this project, and big up to Canine and Brian Burger for their music performances.

Live setup: Reason + MIDI controllers

Expedition 21: Molitor (Elastic) [Intro]

Built on top of the excellent bass and rhythm work of DD and halF unusuaL in the previous two weeks, and operating under the influence of Lol Tolhurst's rock and roll memoirs, as well as the unease of being here now in 2025, here is a happy little song about modern life.

The combination of the melancholic piano riff by Leon Clowes combined with the rising tension from Marco Marongiu made me want to add some equally rising waves of noise to the mix. To do so, I employed the Soma Ether which was "driven" by the magnetic fields created by the Ferrous from Landscape which then went through the Cosmos and Zoia, fed back into each other using the Matrix from Future Sound Systems. The resultant cacophony was then imported into Logic, tamed with granular effects, and then layered beneath the Clowes/Marongui combo. I tried my best to be subtle, so hopefully I did not ruin the combo!

Disquiet Junto Project 0699: Third Third
The Assignment: Record the final third of a trio.

I just wanted to play bass on something because it felt like it had been a while since I picked up my bass.  The third part of this project always felt like the right time for basslines too.  I don't really like when the low end is panned hard left or right to be honest.  It feels unbalanced to me.  Anyway, Torpid and Coraline's beautiful piece from last week really stuck out to me so it was an easy choice.  I liked writing counter point to Torpid's fills at the end of the measure.  Hope I didn't funk it up too much

You can't quite see it in the photo out the window, but there's a carpet of plum slate in my back garden ... Great sonic fodder for a little rhythmic experiment like this! It's a bit ASMR-y if you're into that sort of thing too ... Also, I guess because it's just rhythm, you might feel it's ripe for additional parts. It's downloadable (85 BPM) if that remix prospect takes your fancy 🤗❤️

SO great to be part of the 700th Disquiet Junto!! 😁🔥

Perception Void 

Assignment Overview 

The Assignment, should you choose to accept it: Break apart a piece of music and fill the resulting spaces.  

Technical Details 

DAW: Ableton 12.1.11 

Key: C# or Db Maj 

BPM: 100 

Time Signature: 4/4 

Length: Approx. 3:02 

Creative Process 

To complete this task, I used one of my old songs as the foundation. I broke each track down into individual sequences, separating them strategically by 4 bars. This step allowed me to create space for innovation while preserving the integrity of the original composition. 

Filling these spaces required a thoughtful approach. I selected new musical ideas based on their ability to complement the existing sequences while introducing fresh elements to the piece. Challenges included ensuring the new additions didn't overpower the original tracks and maintaining a cohesive flow throughout the composition. Through iterative experimentation and refinement, I crafted a balanced piece with dynamic contrasts that highlight both the original melodies and the newly added layers.

Perception Void - disquiet0701

This is a fugue for 7 sinewaves and a few sound effects. It modulates between C Lydian and C Phrygian, which constantly changes the overall mood of the melodies, while the bass always returns to the pedal note C. Tempo: 87 bpm.

Within the concept of the upcoming 'Hybrid Symphony Nr°5 - Cellular City' album, it represents the part of the cell in which RNA react to sensory input (immun system, nervous system, cardiovascular system) of environmental and epigenetic factors influencing the individual phenotype, i.e. the multicelluar living being/person. 

Thus the name 'Ribosomes I - Epigenetic Sampler'. 

(Part II - 'Ribosome II - Protein Synthesizer' - on the concept album about the complex, metropolitian-like interconnectivity, and productivity of any given living single cell, will deal with the output of the RNA: Translating from the DNA, and creating the actually needed proteins for the phenotype in realtime.)
