Heures Indues by Franz Kirmann
Franz Kirmann comes back to Courier after his Sérine project (Fictions, 2022) with a collection of atmospheric pieces recorded between 2021 and 2024.
His recent output over the past few years has been focusing on audio manipulation with granular samplers, and this marks a return to the use of analog and modular synthesis used in a more textural way.
The compositions constructed from edits of live improvisations are meant to evoke long and lazy sunny afternoons in the Senegal of his childhood in the 80’s and vague recollections of moments, blurred by the distance of time.
“The air is still, nothing seems to happen but there are far away sounds of traffic and construction sites, the sky is very blue, there is nothing you can do, apart from let yourself go to some reverie and fantasies, that’s what I was trying to convey here I thinks a sense of static stupor”
Franz Kirmann is an electronic music composer from France based in London.
He releases music with UK labels Courier, Bytes and The Tapeworm.

“Et ce sourire, ces yeux clairs fixés sur lui, l’ondulation rêveuse des rideaux sous le vent, le bruit de moteur d’une péniche, tout cela composait l’un de ces instants dont il reste le souvenir.”
- Patrick Modiano
