about

/// All these pieces were recorded live during 2 improvisation sessions on October 31 and November 1, 2021 (day of the deads !) at New Blood studio in Paris.
If dead can dance, so you can!

/The tracks are raw from recording and have not undergone any prior processing or post recording. So the tunes do not include any sequencing, programming, layering or anticipated preparation.
All effects, modulations, volume and errors have been played live from the sound presets, without any additional effects pedals, just coming straight from the recordings without any subsequent corrections or additions.


//Without any particular initial intention, the session finally consisted in recording tracks from the preset sounds of the synth, selected as you go, according to the feeling and the mood of the moment. The sounds were reviewed one after the other and only few were selected and played live in improvisation.
The durations are variable like the variations as proposed or not by the presets, all according to the desires of the moment.
The selection of sounds was quite subjective and depended solely on the appreciation of the moment, and was all about granularity, cleanliness, saturation, phasing, glitch, harmonics, sustain, release ... of the pre-established sounds of the synth.

/In the end, the tracks remained intact as recorded, in the chronological order of their recording, the pure sound of a live performance without any editing!

///Surprisingly, the pieces can be played simultaneously by 2 or 3 or more, in a random way and form possible sets. So, the combination of these 25 isolated pieces can generate up to 7 225 potentially different (after scholarly calculations!), potentially enjoyable and potentially interesting tracks! Meaning, at least, a full moon-cycle of non-stop music…
Up to everyone to try and consider, according to their tastes and moods of the day, in a way of random music. For example, the tracks can be played simultaneously on different browsers mixing from 2 to 25 tunes…Enjoy!

//It took me back to my '90s recordings where I was already practicing this system, playing live without sequencing or subsequent mixing, with a very basic Akai 700 sampler and a mini midi bontempi synt!
/In the end, 30 years later, technique is the same.
