RECORDARE

This CD was "coup de coeur" in the Bastille FNAC shop in Paris.
It is also "editor's pick" on emusic.com

Recordare

Recordare(1) is an electro-acoustic work of expressionnist style on the subject of the large cathedrals: for me a gloomy world, loaded with heavy constraints and reminding us of a past full of injuries and injustices. The subject is treated according to 4 axes: the outside, the inside, the past and the future. Texts comes from the Old Testament.

1: Apparences [3'07]         3: Mémoire [11'26] 
2: Cérémonial [11'44]         4: Espérances [4'52] 

(1) Recordare, respice opprobrium nostrum : Look at, see our opprobrium (Lamentations de Jérémie)


The three small studies which follow are more of an "experimental" nature. They each investigate a fundamental parameter: the time, the frequency and the spectre.

L'agonie [5'46] - The anguish -

Slow slowing down of time, as if we lost little by little the contact with the sound reality, up to the final stop

Composition pour 60 oscillateurs [9'29]

wanted here to create a complex sound structure changing constantly. It is based on the accumulation of  strong frequency variations.

Expansion spectrale [13'42]

An immersion in the richness of electronics spectrums: from a simple sinusoïd (LA 440 Hz) until the extreme (white noise).
