Live at Jailoo
*2026 stock* This album presents the project Stahlstuhl in its typical line-up: a chair performer plus a laptop musician. This was the first concert held by the duo, in December 2012. Guitar player, singer and computer science enthusiast, Olavo Vianna acts here as a chairs’ guru. His performance is the result of a long study on the timbrical possibilities of school chairs. As shown in this recording, such an ordinary object has all the potential for becoming a full scale musical instrument. The …
Fulgurite
*2026 stock* This album was recorded in Paris, late 2013, by four members of the Unmapped collective. Since the foundation of Unmapped in 2007, the collective was dedicated mostly to interaction between traditional instruments and computers. They always privileged the concept of “dual-units” (binômes, in French) to establish a tight and equal relationship between these two universes, thus allowing the emergence of hybrid instruments.
In Fulgurite, the live computer side of Unmapped is represente…
Dendermonde
*2026 stock* Dendermonde represents an ambitious encounter between acoustic and electronic elements, mixed together in a unique and hybrid sound territory, oriented towards psychedelia and post- rock. This album is the result of an experimentation that aims at creating a bridge between electroacoustic music and blues. It is crossed in its entirety by analog hiss and crackles, noises, and field recordings. All of this finds a centre in the sound of guitars, sometimes acid, sometimes ethereal, yet…
Kenter
*2026 stock* Alessio Santini works with sounds and images. After playing guitars in obscure black and doom metal bands during nineties, and working on several electronic music IDM projects, he started a path of research on granular sound processing and audio-video interaction, from fifteen years now.
Kenter is an electric guitar + acoustic drums (both heavily manipulated), record. Big, raw, digitally distorted guitars are processed, re-processed, then processed again, leading to massive noise, t…
Violent Grains Of Silence
Tip! *2026 stock* Summer 2016, the artist chose to isolate himself within the very quiet and intriguing Mechanical & Acoustic Research Lab LMA-CNRS’ anechoic room (France) in order to explore his own inner silence, during some deep personal difficult times. During this art residency in the laboratory, Bayle recorded 2 hours of silence in this 17dB room. inside of which sounds don’t reverberate, as they are absorbed by walls’ geometric and repetitive structure. This sonic isolation makes this roo…
Gendyn Suite
*2026 stock* The pieces that make up this collection were composed with the Gendyn algorithm – GENerative DYNamics. The Gendyn algorithm is an example of nonstandard sound synthesis techniques, relying on random walks guided by probability distribution functions to define the character of complex timbres as well as musical form. Sound is generated ex-nihilo – from nothing – through mathematical expressions that are characterized by initial conditions defined by the composer, setting in motion th…
Fragments of Soaring Vessels
The tracks that make up Fragments of Soaring Vessels are conceived as “sensitive vehicles.” Although they seem quite different at first listen, closer listening reveals multiple points of intersection—often overlapping, sometimes paradoxical. The Inexpressible Feeling of Dereliction approaches an attempt at a sonic transposition of a feeling of emptiness and rupture that may arise in an extreme situation, in which a pious person is confronted with a moment of absolute disillusionment regarding t…
Electronic Music 1994-2021
*2026 stock* For this album I have assembled a collection of contrasting works from the archives. Some have previously been released, others not. Three pieces: Sculptor, Touche pas, and Bubble chamber are based on the microsound techniques of granular synthesis and micro-montage. By contrast, Modulude, Clang-tint, and Still life were conceived before my microsound period. For any given piece, my compositional practice usually takes years. For example, Modulude was initially conceived in 1998 and…
Microphonies 21
Microphonies 21 by Marc Billon is a long-form electroacoustic exploration centered on the resonances of a tam-gong. Blurring the line between acoustic gesture and electronic transformation, the work unfolds as a slow, tactile meditation on vibration, decay, and the physical act of listening itself.
