LES   PARADIS   ARTIFICIELS

Inspired by the following haiku written by Andrea Cecon, a hearing aids technician, a traveler, and a haijin published all over the world. He finds his inspiration in memories, travels, and everyday life…
thinking of us
the sound of wind
among the pines

Dark Flower Dream

While waiting for the next tracks, which are a long time coming, two field recordings made in Vietnam with some very special animals!...
I recorded these incredible bird songs very quickly in the mangroves of Tra Su, in the Mekong Delta. Unfortunately, there is background noise on the tape, and I was only able to recover 1 min 20 of listenable sound. But the recording conditions were very complicated, especially because of the dozens of mosquitoes biting me while I was struggling with my recorder! I have no idea what these birds are, if anyone recognizes their song, please share in the comments!

En attendant les nouveaux morceaux, qui se font attendre, deux nouveaux enregistrements de terrain réalisés au Vietnam avec quelques animaux très spéciaux !...
J'ai enregistré ces incroyables chants d'oiseaux très rapidement dans les mangroves de Tra Su, dans le delta du Mékong. Malheureusement, il y a des bruits parasites sur la bande, et je n'ai pu récupérer que 1 min 20 de son écoutable. Mais les conditions d'enregistrement étaient très compliquées, notamment à cause des dizaines de moustiques qui me piquaient pendant que je me débattais avec mon enregistreur ! Je n'ai aucune idée de ce que sont ces oiseaux, si quelqu'un reconnaît leur chant, n'hésitez pas à partager dans les commentaires !

Nag Fiasco

a project created in december 2020 found from the archive

Procedure:
A MIDI sequence was created with Elektron Octatrack,
which drives a piano track in Ableton.
The sequence was then broken down into four melodic lines.
The harmony was extracted from each melodic line.
For each track, the ghost plays its part and sings as it pleases.
Next, for the sake of musicality, each ghost decides which notes to play and which to omit from its part.
During the performance the Time increase and the ensemble takes place

work in progress

I share music that I have made here solo or in groups. I am bundling my work with some online friends as a project oriented, micro-collective. We are happy to share with you!
