Live set - L'engrenage 18 02 2023

Des sons aux couleurs percussives, des rythmes à la fois énergiques et chargés de sensibilité, c'est ce que propose l'univers de YOUG. Les résonances humaines et sonores qu’il porte et qui lui sont chères se font ressentir lors de chaque prestation en souvenir de ces instants truculents.

Lauréat de la bourse Euterke 2021 ainsi que du concours de performances en musique acousmatique organisé par le Cercle de Composition de l'Université de Montréal, et actuellement étudiant en musique numérique à l'Université de Montréal, il aborde la musique et la composition sonore, ainsi que ses performances LIVE comme un grand laboratoire de recherche et d'évasion dans lequel la Techno et la musique psychédélique éveillent les sens cachés des fréquences sonores.

Sa curiosité et son goût pour la découverte de nouvelles ambiances accordées à la spatialisation sonore, la musique électronique et la musique acousmatique, lui ont permis d’étendre son expérience sur de nombreuses scènes en Europe et au Québec.
Sa pratique artistique et sa passion pour l’aventure hors des sentiers battus, le poussent à puiser ses sons au cœur même de la nature. À l’aide de son enregistreur et de ses micros, il se met en quête d’imperceptibles paysages orchestrés.
Il a aussi co-fondé et mis en place la plate-forme Insideout en mars 2020. Durant la pandémie, il était primordial pour lui de poursuivre ses recherches dans cette idée d’échanges et de laboratoires où des artistes de partout sur la planète pourraient, comme lui, rester connectés et partager cette passion qu’est la création musicale.

Poitiers/ Toulouse/ now Dunkerque    John a toujours baigné dans des univers musicaux variés. Après avoir découvert la musique très jeune en pratiquant le saxophone puis fait partie d’un groupe de rock garage, il arrive à la musique électronique au travers du live machine.     
Digger passionné, John met à l’honneur dans ses sets vinyles des labels peu connus, et soutient les artistes et producteurs indépendants, autonomes et underground.
PEACE LOVE AND HAVING FUN !

Genocide, June 2025:
Israel is only the executioner, every nation which has armed that country in the past year is an accessory to that genocide, an accomplice, a facilitator.  We cannot talk about war crimes because when you target unarmed civilians, mostly women and children, we are talking about a massacre, like terrorists do, not a war. The people who orchestrated that massacre, in the US, the most duplicitous, followed by those of the UK, Germany, France, and probably a few lesser ones should be tried for crimes against humanity just as well as Netanyahu and his cabinet, because it has been going on for two years, generously reported by media of all kinds, so the enablers knew exactly how the arms were to be used, as a tool for revenge, domination, and humiliation of the Palestinian people.  The conflict has ceased to be about the defense of anything for months.

The parties responsible have made a mockery of decency, morals, fairness, proportion, or justice, not to mention empathy.  Of what little there was, these concepts will be a lot longer to come back than they were to be struck down.  

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

...

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
