about

Since Pythagoras (at least...), music has had to do with cosmology, mathematics, geometry, proportions, harmonic theory.

I would like to propose a personal vision of this long tradition: an attempt at random composition based on combinatorial principles (rules), but also on clashes and shocks of harmonics, in a space of unpredictable percolations...

The two pieces of my EP album were not composed by a computer program, but played live, in multitrack recording: the feeling, the human decision are essential, in a set of open possibilities in the listening space.

Experimental music? Yes, probably, a little.

But above all an ambient and atmospheric music, obeying complex combinatorics, a bit like Larry Fast's "Computer Experiments", except that here, it is not the computer that creates the music, but me.

This album is a dive into the world of hamonics, of random chords.

Nothing dissonant, nor inaudible.

Just a sonic reverie, on combinatories of sounds and harmonics that create possible worlds, possible worlds of listening.

I know that like me, you are not afraid of abstraction, nor of sound disorientation...

Your listening is an important part of this music.

In fact, I like the idea that listeners are co-producers, co-composers of the music I invite them to explore...
