"Taylor and I wrote "post_piano" in 2002, and since then I had added to my studio an actual acoustic piano – in fact, the very piano on which I first started studying at the age of 5. It’s an old piano, with an old sound, and I knew I wanted to use it for "post_piano 2". But my studio doesn't exactly offer a pristine environment for recording acoustic instruments – not least because an elevated train runs by the window every few minutes. My idea, therefore, was to "emphasize" the environmental sounds of the space, and create a piano piece that was as much a series of field recordings as an actual studio work. The result was "November 11, 2003" – a spare, fragmentary piano sketch recorded using techniques that ranged from the relatively high-tech to the very, very low-tech. This formed the source material for the entire project. And from that point on, the process was similar to our previous CD: the piano sketch was handed off to Taylor, who chopped it up in the computer and built new compositions from the resulting fragments. I encouraged him to focus as much on the accidental sounds – the passing subway, the street noises, the creaking of the old piano's mechanisms – as on the piano notes themselves. Taylor wrote three long pieces using three distinct approaches, and each transforms the piano sketch into something new while still evoking the character of the original. His tracks have a modern, state-of-the-art sound – yet they never let you forget that what you're hearing was once a piano. We then collaborated on the editing of these pieces, which make up the first three tracks of the CD. The final track is "November 11, 2003" itself; the CD thus concludes at the project's beginning, with a coda that reveals the origin of all the sounds that preceded it. And as with the first "post_piano", we're presenting this new CD as an open source project: it's released under an open license, and we eagerly look forward to hearing how our friends and colleagues take these old sounds and find new uses for them."

Whaou! J'ai écouté cinq morceaux extraits de "Post_Piano" qui m'ont vraiment euh.. subjugué. C'est très beau! Merci a.k.a!
Je ne résiste pas à en poster un pour édifier nos amis (n'ayez pas peur de pousser un peu le volume):

De Kenneth Kirschner, je n'ai trouvé que trois autres morceaux, dont un hommage à Xenakis assez intéressant. Quant à Taylor Deupree, j'avais repéré son nom en épluchant le catalogue Raster Noton, mais je ne m'étais encore pas penché sur son cas. En fait, il produit une ambient music très intelligente avec pleins de sons merveilleux..

Merci kumo pour cette précision. Je pense que 12k est aussi un label qui mérite toute mon attention!

J'ai bien aimé l morceau de Julianna Barwick. J'en ai écouté deux autres également intéressants.

Sinon,ce matin: Squarepusher - Ufabulum (thanx a.k.a again)
