COLLABORATIONS

SOLAR RETURN (Jenny Pickett / Julien Ottavi)

Solar Return est un duo composé de Jenny Pickett & Julien Ottavi. Le corps de leur musique se base sur la génération de fréquences et sur l'interpolation de multiples oscillateurs numériques et de synthétiseurs modulaires analogiques. Le duo propose des compositions où la ganulaire et le bruit forme des micro-cellules en mouvement permanents, jouant de la subtilité cristalline de sonorité électromagnetique et des blast houlleux des circuits modulaires poussés dans leur extrèmes. Une expérience sonore intense et au delà du sensible, qui évolue à travers les brûlures des explosions solaires.

ENSEMBLE DIME

(dispositif itinérant de musique électonique)

L’Ensemble DIME est un groupe ouvert, composé de professionnels et d’amateurs, qui dépasse les écoles historiques de la musique électronique en proposant des formes d’écriture et de composition sans limite dans l’utilisation des nouvelles lutheries et des technologies numériques. L’ensemble crée ses propres oeuvres de façon collective en utilisant des technologies participatives : le public participe parfois à la composition en temps-réel et manipule les outils de transformation du son. DIME est un ensemble qui développe de nouveaux rapports à l’écriture musicale et à l’interprétation de nouvelles compositions. L’ensemble peut aussi bien jouer dans une salle de concert, une galerie, qu’un quartier ou un coin de rue.

DION WORKMAN & JULIEN OTTAVI

Julien Ottavi / Dion Workman GNU/Linux operating systems and free audio software

Julien Ottavi and Dion Workman are two of the most extreme of the younger wave of sonic explorers, pushing the boundaries of sound and art. Ottavi hails from Nantes, France and Workman from New Zealand, but their overlapping concerns and aesthetics have drawn them together, and misenlian contains the results of their initial collaborations.

Julien Ottavi studied sound and photography at the art school of Nantes. He is a founding member of Formanex, an electroacoustic quartet performing graphic scores from the 20th and 21st centuries, including works by Cardew, Cage, Wolff, Feldman, Brown, and Ralf Wehowsky, as well as the founder of the Nantes-based experimental music organization Apo33 (responsible for running the label Fibrr among numerous other activities). His most notable previous release is the superb solo CD Nervure Magnétique (Sigma Editions, 2003).

Dion Workman began his career in the improvised rock trio Thela, along with Dean Roberts and Rosy Parlane. After Thela split up, Workman and Parlane founded Sigma Editions in 1998, beginning an exploration of electronic music that has continued to this day. Workman is a meticulous composer, with a Feldman-like sense of development in his pieces, best represented on disc by the perfectly sculpted Ching (Antiopic, 2003), a work which won him the 2003 Max Brand Prize from the Austrian Cultural Forum.

Workman was introduced to Ottavi's work in 2001 by Parlane, who suggested that Ottavi record for Sigma Editions after seeing him play in London. Later, Workman invited Ottavi to play a series of US shows, where they performed solo sets on the same bill and grew to be good friends. After being invited to record as a duo for Erstwhile, Ottavi came to the US for a month in 2003 and the two performed and recorded constantly. Based in Workman's Brooklyn apartment, the duo literally improvised for days at a time - when they slept, the computers continued to generate sound, with changes in the PureData patches triggered by microphones placed outside the apartment - and intermittently recorded the results. Ottavi and Workman directly followed up this intense recording period with several long-duration live performances, each set lasting between 3 and 6 1/2 hours. By the end of Ottavi's stay in the US, the duo had amassed approximately fifty hours of recorded material, which they later selected and shaped into misenlian.

misenlian unites Workman's glacial, continuous pacing with Ottavi's love for challenging the limits of dynamic range, resulting in a single remarkable piece as jarring and unsettling in its own way as the fluorescent colors of the CD packaging.

The radio. Its possibilities and extensions. This is what (N:Q) explores: the use of the radio and its meanings. An electroacoustic ensemble, perpetually in movement, forging a soundworld of its own. Like airwaves transformed into music transformed into airwaves.

La radio, l’objet radiophonique, son utilisation, ses extensions, sa culture et ses possibilités forment la matière et le champs d’action du projet [N:Q]. Quatre musiciens exploitent la richesse sonore de cet emetteur, capable de parler toutes les langues, de jouer tous types de musique, et qui représente par conséquent une source intarissable de sons et d’informations. Ici démultipliée, la radio devient un langage sonore foisonnant, un instrument de croisement et d’interactions.

version I

The obscurely titled [N:Q] is a superb electro-acoustic recording of a quartet featuring three french musicians and AMM's Keith Rowe. The single track is an unendingly fascinating and refreshingly sensuous journey of free improvisation, never lacking for ideas and inspiration. Despite the presence of two reed instruments, the general ambience is electronic with drones of varying depths and sonorities predominating. Indeed, while Havard's alto sax occasionally breaks through with frantic squiggles, Chevalier's bass clarinet tends to provide a lush companion drone to that generated by Rowe. By maintaining an impressive concentration on one (apparently) slender slice of the sonic spectrum, this quartet is able to unearth a richness and corporeality often lacking in this sometimes arid territory. One is tempted to credit Rowe with the steadying hand here; his playing is at once both extremely assured and democratically deferential to the group. Along with The World Turned Upside Down on Erstwhile, this is one of his finest projects outside of AMM. Fans of that protean group will find much to enjoy on [N:Q], a state-of-the-art document of electro-acoustic improvisation at the turn of the century. Brian Olewnick (All Music Guide/May 2002)

Régulièrement, le collectif invitait un musicien “en particulier” à partagerune expérience commune d'exploration d'un “nouveau” rapport au son et à l'espace.

C'est ainsi que le collectif a rencontré Daunick Lazro(saxophone), Urs Leimgruber (saxophone), ErikM (tables tournantes), Domenico Scjiano (ordinateur, métabass), Xavier Charles (surfacesvibrantes), Andréa Neumann (cadre de piano) et Annette Krebs (guitare préparée), Jérôme Noetinger (dispositif électroacoustique).
