Pascal Battus : guitar pickups, objects
Magali Sanheira : microphones, metal, stone, motorized bow, effects
Coming from different backgrounds and driven by an experimental (and plastic) relationship to music, these two improvisers come together through the choice of their instruments and aggregates of so-called poor materials, which they use for their qualities of texture and color, in order to create a composition where the importance of the sound gesture is primordial.
It is this gesture, always delicate, which by insistence or intermittence comes to draw fleeting figures of a bottomless background, thus developing an abstract and vibrant landscape that invites the listener to travel in the sound wave.

With side A and side AA “Shed light on the origins” dissolves the B side, mocking polarities. Thus, Carbon Sink & Z’EV invite us to enter in an electric climate world, crossed by AC high voltages, and by electromagnetic waves of luminous gases. A trip across the elementary particles on hypnotic rhythms, to the encounter of cyborg-birds, interferences and echoes. “Shed light on the origins” is an electroacoustic music in a “dark-tropical” style.
