Rhizome by Source

Source - Rhizome

This album is a sonic exploration of slow evolution through repetition and mutation, a walk at the limit of conscious and unconscious change, with constant movement between the stability of a system and its adaptation to perturbations.

This was the main inspiration, present at every step of the work for each composition : building the sounds that would make the system, choose for them a way to evolve, setting start and end points for their life trajectories, choose a way to disturb them, and through improvisation feel a moving and emotionally connected way to let them evolve, stabilize and/or die away.

Then, through rehearsal, recording and editing, a particular attention has been put on finding a way to articulate all those compositions into a longer form that follows the same path as each bricks it’s made of.

Sounds and compositions were done with a modular synthesizer, some in VCV, most on hardware.
