Continuum #1
The veils of ambiguity descend upon a floating cube suspended in the non-place. The cube is filled with a murky grey-brown vapor that rolls, swells, and ripples. This perpetually morphing miasma is in constant motion, like gentle waves seen in stop motion, tiny whitecaps cresting moments before dissipation, only to be reborn elsewhere within the cube. The movements are slow and lethargic, yet mesmerizing as they beckon the bejeweled chalice of imaginal elixir waiting just beyond its vaporous, undulating walls. The entire tableau exudes an aura of chaos while, at the same time, revealing an underlying order whose patterns forever elude intuition.
Go ahead, press play. Become a participant. Dark, strange audal transductions are quite possible, right there, inside that cube. Unknown unknowns.
Gobeil ’sUn cercle hors de l’arbre is the breadcrumb trail to follow. Many paths lie before you, many trajectories branch in unexpected directions, and many stories await their telling.—
Michael Eisenberg
Following a bachelor’s degree in compositional techniques,
His practice falls within what is known as “cinéma pour l’oreille” (cinema for the ear). Many of his compositions are inspired by literary or cinematic works and seek to “visualize” them through the medium of sound. Although his catalogue is comprised mainly of acousmatic and mixed works, he has also made forays into the fields of dance and film. Oftentimes traces of his experiences with instrumental music can be discerned.

There’s a peculiar magic in a stroll. It’s not a march, nor a sprint, but a meander — wandering without urgency, where time folds like a map and the scenery becomes the story.

Critique
Comme son titre l’indique, le nouvel album de
Des promenades aux allures de randonnées épiques et mystérieuses, menaçantes ou apaisantes, véritables chemins de tous les possibles, où les expérimentations forment des bifurcations aux fils entremêlés.
L’électro-acoustique se pend au cou d’un jazz virtuose avant de se prendre les pieds sur des souffles venus d’un ailleurs invisible, à l’impermanence sensible.
