MICHEL DONEDA / ERIK M / JÉRÔME NOETINGER
Dos D’ânes
(Ronda) Used CD $8.00
Hacking away on a homemade system and twisted electronic tools, eRikm and Noetinger gleefully activate levers, tactile screens and joysticks with the utmost concentration. Doneda makes the air shake with acoustic vibrations. Together, they give free rein to their audio tricks, buzzing, interference, constructive feedback, electro-shocks, concrete slipping, hazed quotes, white noise, saturations and incisive scratches.

intensior corda sonus
(Chocolate Monk) CD $16.00
Chocolate Monk’s third “proper” compact disc release, this time by the French Revox maestro, references the equivalence between the tension of a string and the elevation of the sound, but also the link between the intensity of the lived and of the musical. “Les objets inaudibles,” commissioned by INA-GRM, is musique concrète in four parts, composed in 2018 in the composer’s studio. “Erase my head,” a live-to-air performance originally commissioned for Radiophrenia, was created in Glasgow using a mixing desk with several inputs like CD players, cassette players, radio, each playing randomly, followed by recording, processing, layering, erasing, hiss and tape delay on the live loop. “Eloge des ruines” is a suite of five two-minute miniatures, based on the idea of slowing down and collapsing, using sound samples taken from vinyl records, with the playback speed changed from 78 to 0 rpm, as well as accelerated playback of old magnetic tapes. The work on this material is the result of the accumulation, editing, mixing and filtering of all these materials. Edition of 150
LIONEL MARCHETTI / JÉRÔME NOETINGER / MATHIEU WERCHOWSKI
Marchetti / Noetinger / Werchowski
(Corpus Hermeticum - HERMES034) Used CD $7.00 (Out-of-stock)
Marchetti and Noetinger on tape decks, amplifiers, and “kick up an impressively varied array of whizzes, scrapes, whistles, groans, blips, and bleeps, all dynamically arranged,” says Dusted, “With both intuitive intelligence and a fine appreciation for a good racket. Werchowski tends to assert himself [on violin] by holding one texture or gesture while the sounds of electricity and metal under duress surge around him -- his conservatory trained technique makes him the one idiomatic voice in an untranslatable babel.”
