  • Zygosis
    2 février 1999, par erikm

    ERIK M
    zygosis, which is his first fulltime recording, starts with a witty beat track mixing high-pitched shakespeare monologues over syncopated jazz loops, and quickly convinces you that the deconstruction of stolen sound material (sourced from cabaret, orchestral music, rock, poetry...) may grow into something utterly personal and unique - most extraordinary examples are tracks 3, 4 & 6. after this tour-de-force, the listener is allowed a short break, while the cd-player skipps (...)

    Sound Postcard
    A CD & booklet Format : 21 x 15 cm OUÏE/DIRE France Distribution : Les Presses du reel Douze Horizons is an instantaneous composition, oscillating between sound performance and radio creation "horspel".
    It was created as part of a commission from Avatar, an artist-run center for audio and electronic art, located in Quebec City, Canada.
    This CD is an archive of the first performance that took place at Méduse in October 2021 in Quebec City.

    eRikm LUX PAYLLETTES
    With this piece, I have been working with the sound material of Western cinema, after its multiple supports : optical film sound, video tapes, dvd and also with sounds that I recorded in cinemas during projections.
    Originally, my interest in this « process-handling » is the very relation to listening to the motion picture sounds, its clichés, tensions, loosening, sound effects, and the emotional palettes coming out. In the meantime, Lux echoes a reflexion about the (...)

  • Transfall

    eRikm Transfall
    Transfall is composed of six pieces that were all made on commission either for compilations of various labels, dance choreographies or instrumental ensemble.
    Except for Austral, these pieces share a method of composition as well as the instrumentation. My wish to collect these pieces on the same album allows the listener to hear my compositional work in the field of musique concrète, both mixed and electroacoustic. The time spent on the composition of some of these (...)

    VITAL WEEKLY / N°1000 / Week 39 ERIKM - L’ART DE LA FUITE (LP by Sonoris) Over the years there have been reviews of the work of erikM, as he likes to spell out his name, sometimes solo, but by my own estimation more in collaboration with other people. His main instruments are media products, such as vinyl and CDs, which is damages and then starts (...)

  • Frame

    ERIK M
    I don’t usually quote press releases, but I read this after I wrote the above, to which it adds some balance and mystification. “Frame is the result of a work that originates in the audio CD medium itself : ‘Anomalie numérique et du support lui-même’ (‘Digital anomaly and anomaly of the medium itself’) ; it was produced within the specific frame of hijacking the CDs from the Metamkine “Cinéma pour l’oreille” serie

    2003 / Prod.2008
    eRikm’s remarkable compositional work Stème originates from deliberately damaged CDs of 1-minute works deconstructed and manipulated in real time. "Between his reputation as swift shifting improviser, concréte composer and turntable deconstructionist, Marseilles based artist eRikm has earned himself an enviable position in the European music community. With Stéme, his most ambitious and fully realised compositional work to date, he devolves and recontextualises (...)

    eRikm
    He lives in the South of France, he used to be a visual artist, and he started his musical carrier as a rock guitarist. He wrote dance music, according to Mathilde Monnier, a well-known dance chorographer. His latest release ‘sixperiodes’ has been published by Sirr records, a lable well known for experimental music. His name is eRikm. And I, I just listened to this record, true to its name consisting of six pieces, or ‘periodes’. Just to get started, the only musical instrument I (...)

    Doubse Hystérie 6 tracks : CD edition
    At the inception of this commissioned work offered to me by "Intermèdes Géographiques" in 2011, I was looking for a meaning and a relationship between my work as a composer and the specific constraints of this project. I selected six pieces from the nine initial ones in order to adapt to the CD format and to a home listening.
