a-round

Guitar. The sound is clear, full, atmospheric, spatialized by the “natural” doppler effect of the Leslie speaker and real time low key sound processing. A phone rings and stops this harmonic interlude: it’s death who invites herself on the line, she finds herself quickly inside the very phone. How to get rid of her? This leads to a progressive electrification of the sound. Feedbacks appear suddenly at the discretion of a choreography playing with the resonating space, machines soon take up a predominant place in the landscape while emerge what could be a fight against the elements. Will the calm resume after the storm? Beyond the fact of questioning our addiction to the smartphone as well as our relationship with death, Claude Alma embark on a near-mystical quest for what he calls the “harmonic essence”, following the footsteps of Charlemagne Palestine, travelling through the sound space-time, between Jim O’Rourke and Sunn O.
