for Tetsuji @ JMT Synth Tetsuji’s instruments are wonderful. Created with elegance and precision, they all sound incredible and full of character. They are definitely among my favourite at this time, and I greatly enjoy playing and discovering with them.

…embracing chaos, emerging noise “Chapter Five, Composing We see emerging, piecemeal and with the greatest ambiguity, the seeds of a new noise, one exterior to the institutions and customary sites of political conflict. A noise of Festival and Freedom, it may create the conditions for a major discontinuity extending far beyond its field. It may be the essential element in a strategy for the...

This is a room recording directly to the camera mics. So, we are missing the omnidirectionality and a bit of transparency in the air that would smooth the Maple’s shimmering resonance. Though there is no way to capture the sound as in presence. As always, depending on the sound, you might need some simple eq. and a subwoofer, to cover the 110 Hz...
Playing and learning with new and older instruments. This is for @inestancre @coryalder @jimblackmusic and for everyone who enjoy these raw experiments. Though, listen NOT at full volume, as at times dynamics and frequencies are wild. I’m having fun, and I hope some of you might as well… aesthetics seems unnecessary these days. I really like the Krohn-Hite filter, and I’m happy that the cleaning...

Looking for electric guitar players and electric bass players willing to have some fun with this one-page score I wrote years ago for Ron Samworth in a short 3 minutes interlude of a larger piece for the great Hard Rubber Orchestra. If I get a few versions it would be fun to create a remix of all the various takes. I hope someone out...
Here’s a new spring instrument built with a small sitka spruce board equipped with a variety of springs and a piezo underneath. Very fun to play. Now I have two spring instruments!!

happy lupercalia everyone “European music is based on the artificial sound of the note and the (tone) scale; it opposes the brutal and objective sonority of the world. As a result of an unbreakable convention European music is obliged from the beginning to express a subjectivity. It seems to fight the sonority of the outside world, like a sensitive being resisting the...

Another fun plot* of circles and squares (spheres & cubes) plus some noisy characters, on the Tektronix. This is for David Henderson-Hean, and hopefully he’ll see it live in action soon.

The enhanced drone of my hotel room at 4am interiority… I believe that’s about the inability to talk about the things we wish we could but we can’t really express; things we try to express, communicate, project in a sentimental way, where sentimentality doesn’t really represent the inexplicable and it’s just a faint illusory form of it. What I’m trying...

Here is another theatre for the ear with some frantic noises and stuttering beats. I love the animated plots of these useless waves, they remind me of continuously avoiding to assert “a” will, or any formal path, relying instead on the bare existence and presence of sound and light: the audible and fluid immanence of being and time. For Nancy Lanthier’s listening eyeballs ;...
Geoffrey Smedley is a fantastic artist living on Gambier Island, very near where I live. A wonderful man of wondrous skills and fantastic vision. Finally he is online with a great website. “I am not alone in thinking that one can only know, understand, and take possesion of that which one has oneself made.” (Geoffrey Smedley) Geoffrey’s work is not only beautiful but...
Extreme modding of Astrocade ROMs. It must be an age thing that make me love the rawness of these pixels so much; but if you need more virtuality, put on a pair of RED & CYAN 3D glasses and project it on any large/not flat surface available, with very loud and diffused sound. ...

Morton Feldman and Iannis Xenakis In conversation (for full text click the title above) excerpt: […] Xenakis: There are three reasons why I use quarter-tones. The first reason is to enrich the sound with the beats that they produce and with the impossibility to distinguish pitches when they are very close, especially when you have many string instruments because they are able...

In this soundscape installation, recorded sounds from the Sechelt Gravel Pit have been “sculpted”, remixed and layered to create a drone-like sound object broadcasted on a 4-speaker setup. Both the framing and the specific context of this project become the relevant aspect of the not-assertive quality of any possible “message”. Listening here is not about any sentimental reception. The immediate and mediated reality of the place exists in...
I have been asked a few times in the past weeks why I think is important to present these forms of sonic (but not only audio) explorations. One of the reasons why I think is important to pay attention to this kind of activity is that hacking and circuit-bending – like exploring – are the glitchy metaphors resonating with John Cage’s invitation to embrace...
