Civil disobedience - လူထုမနာခံမှု part 3/4,
released February 24, 2021
Since the early 2000s I have been performing the world, playing festivals all over Europe, Canada, USA, Mexico, Australia & Asia... Feeling lucky to release on several international labels such as Aagoo, Opa-Loka, Southern UK, Monotype, Alrealon Musique, Beta Lactam Ring, Sub Rosa, HomeNormal, Important, HelloSquare, Public Eyesore, Utech, Staubgold, etc... (see the section "Friends/Collaborators" above in the Menu bar for a detailed list + links).
I study Electroacoustic music at the CNRR Conservatory of Marseille where I am specialising in multi-channelled diffusion (Acousmatic spatialisation) and Modular Synthesis. Using Buchla System 200, Meta Expanded Buchla Easel "The Electric Music Box" + a modified EMS Synthi A to create my "Electronic abstractions" and Plastic sound-objects but moreover I am interested in the importance of the compositional gesture, to favor the live touch without repetitions, by impulse, in a very corporeal way. VISCERALITY ! Sculpting sound like a craftsman, without restraint or sometimes "on the tip of the hands", muted, caressing or with a simple stroke of a hand turn bersek all frequencies / pitches in a very electroacoustic result… Transporting everything in an elastic space-time where their harmonies and varied colors would join-overlap carrying the listener as if I had inflated a balloon and let it fly away suddenly…
Tension-relaxation, destabilizing and reassuring at the same time, kind of immersed in a dream where nothing would be where it is expected.
