"The sigh of the witch"
|
This work is designed as a sound nap. Its overall energy profile is conducted in such a way that the listener, arriving from active life, is put in a state of rest to access the state of drowsiness.
The sounds used come from so-called "natural" materials (forest, stream, fire, cat, pozzolan). A gradual slowdown in their reading speed takes the listener's mind down into the body until it reaches a lower level of consciousness. It is then rocked by a soft and throbbing harmonic melody. The nap time is the time of rest, decantation, digestion. For the story, it is a witch, buried in the forest, who gives himself up to a short dreamless sleep. We are this witch and it is not the sounds that are slowed down but the perception that we have of them. - 17’40’’, autumn 2019 - stereo or quadriphonic - commissioned by Festival Musiques Démesurées 2019 - fisrt performance : 1er and 2 november 2019 in Clermont-Ferrand. |
"No more Noise"
2017 - Acousmatic music, 32 minutes. Award : Second "PRESQUE RIEN PRIZE 2017"
By participating in the 4th call of work Presque Rien, my first interest was to compose music from sound materials other than mine and thus be detached from any contextual affect inherent in the action of sound recording. The second was that these sound recordings are the raw material of a composer that I particularly like.
The sounds of Luc Ferrari are rich, and each of them could give rise to a sound work. The selection made available by Brunhild Ferrari is very varied and reflects in my opinion all the diversity and the sound profusion of the composer. Hard to make a choice in; most of the takes are very incarnated and listening them is enough to excite the ear.
Two of them particularly seduced me. One of them in California's Death Valley, for its evocative power : some stumbling footsteps, a slightly breathless breath and a voice announcing the silence. The other, a ride in Algeria, tells life through a quiet walk in a stony path covered with discrete sound elements: a man, a child, a cart, a cow, a bird, an engine ...
So I chose to formally articulate my piece around these topics.
Walking and the train are two elements very present in my composition. They tell the body in motion and the movement of the body, curiosity and discovery, the travel from one state to another.
Here, the listener will cross noisy landscapes, meet deformed beasts and enter the head of a man who listens and filters the sounds he encounters. The music is greedy, it is created by matching-type game, the game of echo and duality. All sounds were created from proposed materials that were manipulated, sliced, distorted, enlivened, filtered, assembled, and sometimes exposed as is.
If there is a form of narration, this one is tenuous, pretext for the musical and to move the emotions of the listener.
No More Noise is a tribute to Luc Ferrari whose freedom and the pleasure of creating have been a source of inspiration in my previous works and the following ones.

PRESQUE RIEN PRIZE 2017, what is it ?
"The dangerous freedom given to artists to create."
For our fourth edition, the PRESQUE RIEN Association offered artists to create a work with Luc Ferrari’s sound archives – or to use them in their project. These sound files were collected during the digitization of Luc Ferrari’s magnetic archives, chosen and made available to creators of all artistic disciplines.
The jury assembled by Brunhild Meyer-Ferrari and composed of: Olivier Bernard, François Bonnet, Anne Gillot, David Jisse, Vincent Laubeuf, Silvia Maglioni, Ryosuke Shiina, Graeme Thompson, Wilfried Wendling met on Wednesday, December 6, 2017 at the Atelier Post-Billig and awarded the prizes.

"12 poses à Istanbul"
(12 shots in Istanbul)
2013 - Musical composition phonogracousmatique from a tourist travel in Istanbul.
During my walks accompanied by phono / photo-graphic devices, I gradually set what will be my portrait of a very large city at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. Throughout my observations there emerges a strange temporal duality between a human activity at a steady pace and a contemplative mind made of looks towards the sea and glasses of tea.
From my composition studio, I like to leave silence the song of muezzins that tirelessly punctuate the city; the noise of the ceaseless hyper commercial activity; the sound of the gentle waves of the Bosphorus that will rock the concert hall. This first phonographic writing touches on electroacoustic music. Extraction of discrete musical cells, temporal fixations of heights, extension of sound and noise to the domain of the note.
12 shots, like an old film that would cause the tourist to photograph with eyes closed.

"On va là-bas ?"
(We going there ?)
2008 - concrete stereophonic music,
Commissioned by IMEB, march 2008.
Microphones, magnetic tape, electronic sound generators; two girls photographing themselves in front of a cathedral.
Let the sound material act for a month in the IMEB studios in Bourges.
Penetrate the phonographic space and allow yourself to be traversed by the elusive magnetic flux. For sensitive microphone listening fragmented and linear.

"Karoshi duo"
2008 - mixed music live.
Drums / Sounds
Sylvain Darrifourcq / Yoann Sanson
The Karoshi duet is a lighter version of a project of the same name (trio), combining instrumental music, electroacoustics and video.
Here it is a drum game, live sound processing, memorized sounds and spatialization (or projection) sound.

"Trompe en bataille"
2006 - concrete stereophonic music.
Trompe en bataille was born from the desire to use work sessions forged previously, and to include in my electroacoustic approach the traces of my musical experiences of jazz rock bands where I held a role of trumpet player and composer. Focusing on two entities: the trumpet and the drums, it revolves around the instrumental attitude and the trance phenomenon. Between the reference and the sound abstraction, it is a music of air and movement, where bestial hardness is lost in recollection, where exhaustion digs the place of rest.
Award : Mention au 34e Concours Internationaux de Bourges (IMEB) - 2017
Trompe en bataille is a tribute to Christian Vander.

"O brinquedo"
2004 - mixed music for guitar and électroacoustic
A collaboration with the guitarist Sébastien Llinarès, to make a record, a suite of mixed pieces (electroacoustic and guitar) according to the Brazilian composer H.Villa Lobos; intended for domestic listening.
"From the inside of my holster, I wake up.
Giving me a few moments of stretching, I let the memories of a familiar and distant country come to me.
Then, I extricate myself from my sleeping bag, to let my body resonate with daily sounds, learned music, shared dances ... " . Bruno Capelle
