AUSTRAL Sound, Memory and Flesh
Austral is a mixed work (electronic and video) for ensemble, originally composed for "Laborintus" (contemporary ensemble).
This creation was previously imagined in its opening to be re-interpreted by other musical aesthetics.
Austral is a pretext, a vector.
My main interest is to deal directly with the sounds, music, and "noises" produced by musicians : the specific archetypes of their own training (amateur or professional).
This piece calls an (…)

Depressive Fighter
18 avril 2003, par erikmtime : 04.50mn image & sound by eRikm
"In every sound bend, I cannot help establishing the link with his facetious video « Depressive Fighter I and II », in which he appears, wearing a boxer’s helmet, producing vocal sounds while struggling with a compressor that sends air in his throat.
He composed two successive versions : the first one, "merely" a sequence shot, could amount to what he can do during " live" shows. The second one, very finely-worked from the reprocessed, filtered, (…) -
Tranches de vie

time : 3.30mn
A series of vertical travelling browses the slices of what we guess to be vinyl sleeves. The loop silently plays the notes of a frenzied remix. Falling, sliding, and bouncing, the image flow writes the chords of a concrete poetry into time. Words flash out off this flow, opened meanings come out and freely connect one to another. -

Minimalist musical composition
a strange slideshow composed of photographic close-ups taken in an apartment in a total state of chaos plays at regular speed. The flux of images, amongst other snapshots of disorder, shows a CD set of The Legendary Pink Dots, a smashed-in container of yogurt, a packet of miso soup and mismatched sneakers that have never been cleaned. -
LUX PAYLLETTES

Something roars. Is it the MGM Lion or St Jerome’s I see, translating the sound automatically, almost unthinkingly into image ? For I feel a need to see the sound, frame it in some way. The sound is in hiding, half-concealed, a beast in the jungle and this makes me nervous. Sound anticipates a danger or desire, it announces something to see, and yet at the same time exceeds what is eventually revealed to the (…) -

Product images are accumulating
Frags is the product of accumulated images (light) and sound, a single of film. This matrix manipulated through a prism (process) set sail from sails which merely conceal other sails. -

The work on images involves the same processes that I have developed with sound. I use very short fragments of visual or sound material (video or photographs) that I explore digitally with a relationship of disincarnation, fragmentation and generational synthesis of one or several elements. -

Gradually human beings learnt how to control it, or at least that is what they thought, and the next stage saw the introduction of distortion and artificial sounds, in the form of synthesizers, which human beings also tried to control.
