First documentation of an improvised session by Jean-Luc Guionnet (church organ) and Miguel A. García (electronics) recorded at the Conservatorio Jesús Guridi in Vitoria-Gasteiz in 2016. Across two pieces, the duo plays the dynamics of the electroacoustic field itself: the work is calibrated so that playing it at different volumes produces materially different listening experiences, with the threshold of audibility used as a compositional parameter. Particularly quiet, post-reductionist.

*200 copies limited edition* (This is a very quiet release, tune the volume to your own preferred volume). This release documents the first part a the session that Jean-Luc Guionnet & Miguel A. García did in the conservatory Jesus Guridi in Vitoria Gasteiz in 2016. The second part will be released in 2018.

Those familiar with the musicians Jean-Luc Guionnet, and also Miguel A. Garcia known both aren’t easy to categorize in what they do, as becomes clear again on their first collaborative work Parkustomnie. In the two pieces presented here the duo combines the improvised sounds from a church organ and electronics. In the electro-acoustic soundscapes they play a lot with dynamics, in such way that playing the CD on different sound levels creates totally different experiences. With this way of playing they know the grab the listener’s attention deeply. In the soft version the listener is focussing and trying to grasp the sounds, while at higher volume more and more of the very subtle details in both the organ playing and electronics come forward.
