| | | | | Description : | Yannick Dauby is an artist who was born in the South of France a nd who since 2007 lives and works in Taiwan. He studied musique concrete in France and began working with field recordings in 1998, capturing fragments of environments, urban situations, animal signals and unusual acoustic phenomena. On stage, he improvises with an assemblage of found objects, recorded sounds, electro-acoustic devices, modular synthesizers and computers.
The project for this LP started after Yannick Dauby posted a few videos showcasing his latest live set up, mangling field recordings of frogs and modular synthesizer improvisations, quickly arising our interest. In the following months, the results of several improvisation sessions were used as compositional material for a work that now interweaves natural and synthetic lines. The LP takes you through a subtle succession of vignettes, at times aggressively confident and brassy, at times veering towards an enigmatic elegance and sophisticated nocturnal developments. Through and through, the general tone oscillates between the playful and the elaborate, the sensual and the spiritual. A perplexing and yet welcome confusion indeed arises from the occasionally undeterminable origins of the sounds, as if technology and nature were reflecting each others.
A release full of pensiveness, amazement and serenity. Darmstadt is in the jungle.
