Esthete of "neo-archaisms" and primitive sonic acts... performing solo rituals (or mono-rites) based on hybrid electronics and digital percussive devices...

Between June and September 2007 Qiipnm'id Yorgomnüg re-worked and ordered his personal sound-material to create his first recording ever. The complexity to organize – and fix on a recording – textures and patterns that are not supposed to be heard twice, forces him to dissect his own playing. The result of this precise and quasi analitic inventory is a succession of sonic equations or sound-formulas that conjugate the scientific qualities of experimental composition with synthetic aspects of a raw material empirically obtained and selected.

Made of shamanic-like sonorities (such as gongs, metal bells, deep frame drums...) viewed via a digital/analogic electronic prism using real-time treatments – A silica(te) replica presents for the first time on disc the peculiar language enigmatic figure Qiipnm'id Yorgomnüg.

N.B. this recording documents orginal sound-sources transfered onto vinyl (12''/33 rpm), slowed down and altered...

November/December 2007 : recording of Monolith – available on Odiolorgnette in January 2008.

A surprising piece for pure electronics, mouth organ, metal string and contact microphone is gradually down-graded to reach infra-bass sound-sculpting. A work in 4 parts between noise-trajectory study and signal-loss testing.

N.B. "Monolith IV" cannot be heard on mediocre sound-systems. If using headphones, beware of high volume listening...

NEW! APRIL 2009

"++"

by Zn'shñ

First official cd-release. According to a fictitious etymology, the term Zn'shñ signifies: the gleam of dark colours. Deliberately antithetic and intentionally enigmatic, Zn'shñ is enthused by Butoh iconography, Japanese Gagaku aesthetic and Tibetan rituals codification. Operating as dual electronic unit (Elvire Bastendorff & Franck Smith), Zn'shñ deepens a series of very specific works around digital phonocrafting and noise-manufacturing.

Recorded 2008/2009
Ref: odl.9173-656

"Pygmology"

by Ijnveïq de Ernestine

A very compact ritual made for high volume listening. Elevated density, violence and obsessive fragments for this work basically inspired by Pygmy music. When noise becomes a vertical and mesmerizing ballet.

"Les urnes funéraires"

by Franck Smith

Inspired by the book of Sir Thomas Browne (1605-1682) — Hydriotaphia, urn burial — this recording is a dark ritual in three parts focusing on the «...ashes to ashes, dust to dust...» mechanisms. Maybe you should read the book before listening...

"Nekrob umics"

by Franck Smith

Fluxus member Milan Knizak is responsible of some of the most beautiful and inventive experiments on gramophones and vinyls with his work «Broken music» (1979) based on ruined and/or prepared records — stuck, painted, burnt, cut, glued... «Nekrob umics» (anagram for «Broken music») pays tribute to this visionary of pre-recorded supports manipulation who started making noise with discs in the early sixties.
