Trajectories

Techno piece from 2006. Constant or deviant, everything is relative...
Deviant motion

Clair obscur

Not so long ago, was an era where electronic producers had to compose with black and white Atari ST, synth, keyboards, drum machines and a strange thing called midi.
One day, just like that, audio treatment on computers became possible, i mean processable and affordable.
It's probably around these days, something like 2002, that I made this short trial track.

The first time you have to deal with software instruments, plug-ins and hardware devices is a new exercise in term of blending sounds coming from different materials.
The low pitched guitar sample's sync is a bit jerky, the software drums (Waldorf attack emulation I think) are too clean compared to the rest, but somehow the track keep a charm, drumming is sharp and quite efficient after the breakdown. And also the profound groove of a contracello...

Machine talk

Techno tune from 2007, crepuscular accents and machine funky.
Talk to me

Backup technologies

All begin with a dirty minidisc sample of a friend playing on n'goni, this fabulous sounding african lute. Then the beat is soon joined by a warm CS80 pad and some MS20 bleeps.

Traditional flute and vocals samples come from a Lao's tribe recording, the piece was obtained thanks to Vientiane's Laos national library, traditional music archiving project.

The archiving project came from the sad constat of seeing the old traditional and ritual musicians, selling their unvaluable manufactured instruments to buy guitars and keyboards, as playing traditional music seems has been to the younger generations who will prefer to entertain themselves with pop formated standards.

Ambiguous modernity (live)

Undefined object

Ambiant piece composed in 2005 with one layer of the CS1X Yamaha synth, in a couple of hour.
Sedna was once, for a couple of monthes, the tenth planet discovered. But it's small size and unformal orbit made it relegated, as Pluto, to the status of trans-Neptunian object. So now we keep going with 8 planets, but various things are still floating around there...
Within its stellar range, Sedna is still one of my preferred productions.

Trilaterale anthem

Latest track i've produced. 808's beat based, a dark jupiter-synth melody and I added this accapella from an obscure experimental but valuable 80's band "Club of Rome", after which I named the track.
"Club of Rome" of course refers to the think thank group founded in 1968 that gathers economists, industrials and politics that had to deal at this time with the restraints limiting the growth, as oil depletion. Some has linked this group with Bilderberg group and other networks often qualified as hidden power or new world order...
