Déplier la cervelle secrète
‘Déplier la cervelle secrète’: 12 pieces created from recordings of sequences, (almost) all from the same analogue synthesiser. Material from a single source put to the test of composition, in what could be described as a power struggle: faced with the fragmented inertia of the sound material, searching for resources, relationships and combinations.
In this compact and eruptive material, the pulsating sound patterns reveal new intentions. The result is this album, born of electroacoustic ‘so…
Dreamcast
"The Dreamcast tracks were composed and recorded in a week, while learning to use a K.-O.2 sampler, which was later discredited. They somehow replay the state of virtual projection that a console or idea-image of a game console intensifies over time, only to be forgotten when other means begin to channel these projections. It's a capture of a fairly basic kind of consumerist regression, let's say. But it's also a way of reconnecting with the characteristics of image rendering, body forms and env…

Wild Noise Hall
*2024 stock* "Since the early 70's and Luc Ferrari's Presque Rien N°1, we are now offered the possibility to listen to any sound coming from natural phenomenons and soundscapes as musical composition. We can listen to them as any audio-naturalist do, enjoying the different species of animals and sounds from the storm, the rain, the wind, and the space in between echoing all of them. But we can also listen to them as sounds in an acousmatic way, forgetting the different animals, the storm, the ra…
Plays
Dottie Doppler is a three-headed entity. When she comes to life, she manipulates modular synthesizers, and throws acoustic waves in every directions, with textures that rub, pulsations that bounce, coil and weave together. Then emerge stimulating ballets for tremulous electrons, punkoid nanoparticles that are thrilled to escape from the silence of printed circuits. In her sonic playground, Dottie plays with her world of very little troublemakers she invites to dance, intertwine and resonate toge…
selective memory / perception
An hour long piece consisting of classical instrumentation and orchestral arrangements using cello, violin and piano, plus recordings of wind, broken urban creatures, intimate situations, insect and amphibian sounds and mutations thereof, transmogrified balloons, unconscious voices and more. Selective perception is the tendency to not notice and more quickly forget stimuli that cause emotional discomfort and contradict our prior beliefs. Selective perception is the process by which individuals p…
