Thomas TILLY
“Birds measuring space”
As a counterpoint to discourses about sound in nature, french sound artist Thomas Tilly continues his research on the use of noise by non humans. Following the noise walls of Codex Amphibia, Birds measuring space focuses on the strange rituals operating by the mysterious Guacharos de Cuevas, and its interpretation by humans and technology.
Thomas Tilly (FR) is a sound artist and composer of experimental music. His work is based on field experiments using microphones, loudspeakers, and acoustic analysis instruments. Developing a unique approach to phonography, influenced by biology, anthropology, and sound measurement, his creations, broadcasts, and installations open up a field of listening that extends beyond the naturalist paradigm.

Eamon SPROD (TARAB)
“Foil Void Join Avoid”
Eamon Sprod (previously working as TARAB) works with sound collected from mundane or neglected urban spaces, pursuing an anti-naturalist field recording practice to draw oblique narratives and listening spaces from the everyday and its outer edges. Rather than describing spaces, he attempts to shape them, by working to include everyday spaces as active participants in aural experiences instead of only acting as their container.
Eamon Sprod / TARAB has presented performances through out Australia, Europe, Japan, Korea, North and South America; compositional works have been published on labels including Naturestrip (AU), nonlinear (AU), 23five (US), Unfathomless (BE), Aposiopese (FR), Swarming (FR), Cronica (PT), Semperflorens (RU), Hemisphäreの空虚 (AU) and also his own sonicrubbish imprint formed in 2018.

Yvan ETIENNE
“Les Météores du Cœur”
Yvan Etienne develops a work that takes the form of sound «things», installations, performances/concerts, video projections, lights and editions. Conceived as spaces, moments to experiment, his works are generally related to contexts, climates induced by the specificities of the sites and/or the supports invested. Work is done with acoustic, electronic and phonographic instruments, it is at the intersection of
composition, performance and installation. Sound, evoking the auditory or imaginary places, his arrangements probe the processes of perception, memory and psyche.
He co-directs the editions «oh cet echo» at Les Presses du Réel, (writings, catalogues and monographs about sound art, music and intermedia fields), and teaches sound practices at «HEAR» (Fr).
(Collaboration w/ La Novià, Paul Panhuysen, Phill Niblock, Robert Poss, Marie Verry, Brice Jeannin, Patrice Grente, Richard Glover, Yann Gourdon...)

Andrea BORGHI
“Palsecam”
True to form, Borghi works directly with VHS tapes and the apparatus that plays them, manipulating the exposed mechanisms with the care and curiosity of a dedicated scientist. Drawing from these manual manipulations, Borghi's experiments combine mechanical sounds with mangled tape samples to inspire a mechanised nostalgia inseparably hybridised with human trace. Unlike others who work with old film, he resists the eerie to focus on the intricate crunch and buzz, an electro-acoustic soundscape tangentially related to the field recordings. By highlighting the precise moment that recorded media becomes perceived, a restless, shifting mass of both familiar and unrecognisable sounds results in a unique form of otic chiaroscuro. The result is a complication of inside and outside sounds: distant, gesturing snippets of semi-remembered, half-imagined films compete with TV cathode burn, tracking stutters, mechanical interference, and vérité whirrs and clicks that could only come from that original reproducer of dreams, the VHS player. With Palsecam Borghi gives dignity to an often maligned format, in an engaging mélange that represents the recovery of an object discarded as an objet d'art.
Composed and recorded by Andrea Borghi : VHS, contact microphones, computer.
Mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi. Lacquer cut by Kassian Troyer at D&M, Berlin.

“Codex amphibia (Phonotaxis)”
A new interpretation of the explosive frog breeding phenomenon.
Recorded, composed and mixed between 2016 and 2020 in French Guiana and France by Thomas Tilly, this pieces are part of a both scientific and artistic collaborative project conducted with herpetologist Antoine Fouquet, research associate at French National Center for Scienctific Research Cnrs. These compositions follow Codex amphibia (an interpretation of the explosive breeding), released in 2018 on Glistening Examples.
Thomas Tilly is a musician using the microphone and speaker as the main instruments of creation.

TARAB
“An incomplete yet fixed idea”
Tarab explores re-contextualised collected sounds and tactile gestures formed into dynamic, psycho-geographical compositions inspired by discarded things, found things, crawling around in the dirt, junk, the ground, rocks, dust, wind, walking aimlessly, scratchy things, decay and most if not all the things he hears and sees.
More than simply documenting a given site, tarab is interested in a direct engagement with our surrounds, teasing out half narratives, visceral sensation, false leads and heightened awareness.
Edition of 300. Includes download code. Composed and recorded by Tarab / Eamon Sprod. Sounds collected 2011-16 arranged 2016. Mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi. Cut by CGB at D&M.

Tomoko SAUVAGE
“Ombrophilia”
Ombrophilia is a collection of sound experiments I made with porcelain bowls filled with water between 2006 and 2008. Inspired by Jalatarangam, traditional Indian instrument, I started to play the ‘waterbowls’ with wooden spoons and metal wire (Mylapore, Jalatarangam Revisited). Since I immersed hydrophones in them, I have tried various ways of resonating the bowls without touching their surface : flicking, stirring, waving and dripping water… All the compositions here are multitracked and edited on computer. I also inserted thin layers of field recordings I made in South India, notably in beautiful Mylapore of Chennai, where I met one of the last masters of Jalatarangam, Aanayampatti Ganesan. (Tomoko Sauvage. 2011). Vinyl re-issue of “Ombrophilia”. Aposiopèse 2012. Tomoko sauvage Ombrophilia, previously released by and/OAR cd 2009.

Thomas TILLY
“Script geometry”
“Approaching the forest as if were a city, a construct, an ensemble of strata and vertical heights where signals answer, contrast and ignore each other. Variations occur, fullness and emptiness are created according to the weather and the peak and off-preak hours. This density that language can't define presents a challenge for the ear, and from this density surfaces, from time to time, certain analogies to a modern sound environment. Cultural leads fraw our experience of these natural acoustic phenomenin towards the domain of technology : “it sounds like... it's like…”.
The timbres ? The sound structures ? There exists something in a tropical forest that sounds like and plays within the realms of electronics, music and electronics noise ; something characteristic of an era long before the birth of biotopes that form this forest and create this sound. Script geometry comes from this idea and the desire to work with density, in an attempt to extract forms that characterize these analogies. Taking these sounds out of their context and rearranging them as we would patch cables on a synthesizer ; weaving these strata and vertica heights into a different pattern by using the signals from the forest as if they were synthetic sounds : dissecting this spectrum and looking for something that can only be revealed through listening, this is the essence of the project”. Thomas Tilly - Winter 2012
“In March 2013, I traveled to the Nourages scientific research station in French Guiana. Situated in the heart of a tropical rainforest, this station welcomes international scientific research progams dealing with tropical forests and their biodiversity. For the 30 days and nights of my stay, i listened to and captured the sound environment with an emphasis on animal communications : those wich are perceptible to the huan ear, but also the inaudible spectrum. The result is a collection of compositions and phonography characteristic of the zone.
No electronic treatement has been added to these recordings other than a low cut filter and a light EQ mix.
Script Geometry was conducted as an artist-in-residency programme at the Confort Moderne, Jazz à Potiers, the Lieu Multiple and the Nouragues Station in French Guiana between February and June 2013. A series of concerts, conférences, broadcasts and a creative workshop took place in accompaniment to the project”.
