Perdu (mystery bass) /solo electric bass


I don't know when this music was recorded, why it was composed, what for, when... I know it is me playing and I know it is only my bass, I know there is no other sounds (as I never use pre-recorded sounds). I found this recording on a blank CDr, at home. nothing written on - what is this? Yes, it is me, for sure and it was obviously a composed piece - the structure is quite unusual. I did not touch, edited or mixed it in any way. And not being able to remember what it was, I called it "mystery bass"

NEW CD

ELIANE RADIGUE ___ ELEMENTAL II
(new recording / nouvel enregistrement)
"Elemental II" is the first ever piece Eliane Radigue wrote for an instrument, without any pre-recorded sounds, without the use of her ARP synthesiser. It took a very long time to convince her to do so, the piece was some two years or more in the making - discussing about the sound a mountain makes after the rain.
The first recording was released just after the premiere of the piece, in 2004. In 2011, seven years later, after having played the piece more 30 times in concert, after having spend a long time with it, after having "domesticated"it, it seemed interesting to rerecord it - something very common in classical music, but almost inexistant in those "other", electronic, musics. However those musics also live, change, evolve ; the same score another point of view

NEW CD

INOCULATE?

Instabilité entre son et silence, entre stagnation et pression de l'air ; ou encore fantômes digitaux, rémanences de ce qui n'a pas eu lieu - et l'électronique "live" qui sculpte cette matière. Instruments démultipliés à l'excès ou au contraire réduits au souffle le plus ténu, distordus et parasités par eux-mêmes autant que par la grouillante immobilité de la danseuse, corps à entendre. Une lenteur toujours en déséquilibre aux brusques accélérations, un statisme rempli d'électricité, un mur de son.
Kasper T. Toeplitz : conception, composition et programmation informatique, live-electronics / Myriam Gourfink : chorégraphie / Déborah Lary : danse & data-noise / Trio Journal Intime : Sylvain Bardiau : trompette / Frédéric Gastard : saxophones basse et soprano / Matthias Mahler : trombone

NEW CD

Dark Matter "Mo.N.D."

Kasper T. Toeplitz : bass, computer, tam / Antoine Chessex : sax, electronics
Dark Matter have realised a monolithic piece of cosmic dark energy, concentrating gravitational lensing phenomenas, in solid waves, through the multi-dimensional quantum-continuum. A must! The duo deals with dense and abstract structures where the hybridisation of the two performers´instruments collapse together resulting in monumental walls of sounds based on the architecture of ruins.
