![]() So this is an exploration of the fight between hope and fatigue, trying to see the good side in the end. So I built it with same keys and tempo, one focusing on melodic stuffs (FM again, I love how it allows for a bit of dissonance in a really beautifully simple sound), one on the rhythm (clics and noise mostly, a lot of the Neuron module !), and one on the samples (filed recording of house objects, some more « concrète » sounds.Ī journey through winter, this one had been particularly long and hard on the moral (covid and all, away from the family a lot, and to much work in general). ![]() After that we walked for an hour, I was remembering the encounter, looking for more.įor this one I had to do it in three patches as my computer does not permit that big patches. My dog did not see it either, I was just waiting for the moment one of the two would break this magical moment, we were a few meters away. I miss the colors and smells, but sill it makes me want to build the missing peace with sound.Ī single VCV patch again, using Orca’s heart and FM-OPs, trying to look for delicate and moving dissonance, staying light and kind of melodic.Ī walk with the dog, again ! This time we found ourselves facing a fox, it had not seen us, it was smelling something in some bushes. ![]() The buildings also have a sort of beauty, although I am still trying to adjust to it. Looking at the city I am working in right now, thinking of my family, that stayed home. It is a single VCV patch with samples and FM, plus a VCO/VCF voice, a lot of edit for volume variations. My dog kind of wants me to believe she is going to go after, but she’s too old for that, she enjoys the walk at a slower pace these days. ![]() We find small prints of all kind of animals, and we scare one, a hare. It is early, the sun barely makes it through the leaves, but I feel its heat coming down the really abrupt hill, colliding with the cold coming from the small stream at the bottom of the valley. I am walking with my dog in the woods behind the house. It was made between February and December 2021 using almost only VCV Rack 1, only free modules (not that it matters, but I am cheap it seems), a bit of montage on Live 10, and all recording, listening, mixing and mastering was done on a flimsy 2019 MacBook Pro with Sony MDR7506 headphones.Īrtwork was made by Lisa Gervassi, from one of her photos. So really it is about trying to walk the arbitrary line between all of that with sound, and make that a journey. It is about movement and stillness, consonance and dissonance, message and noise, and really it is about how any of those idea is nothing in itself, without the intent of the person feeling it, watching it, seeing it. ![]() With life always coming up with new ways of disturbing one’s idea of what « kind » of balance works, I had to look for ways to take that into those pieces, explore it that way. This album is the result of a journey, exploring the idea of balance. I’d say it is a bit ambient, electroacoustic, some chill IDM, a bit of noise, dark at times…Īnd some notes for the entire album, and then track per track : I wanted to share this album here since all but one (n☈) tracks were made in VCV Rack, with sometimes some editing / montage in Live. ![]()
