Forma by Lucy Railton, is a work that burrows deep inside. It disorientates and teases, without malice. Its beauty lies in gentle projections, which, though subtle, leave deep impressions, like the wings of a nocturnal moth reflecting dark light. Its path, too, is unpredictable, but such disorientation is not a reflection of chaos. Instead, a mysterious intention appears through an imperious unfolding – its logic escapes us, but nevertheless captivates us. It is the story of a becoming of forms, as well as of their fading away and their appearance as a disappearance .

Max Eilbacher – Metabolist Meter (Foster, Cottin, Caetani and a Fly) – 2019 / 22’29
Created and recorded November 2018-March 2019 in Baltimore, Maryland.
Fly recording made September 2018 in Carrières-sous-Poissy, France.
Made for the Présences électronique festival 2019 in Paris, France.
Mixed from 8 channel to stereo August 2019.
Metabolist Meter (Foster, Cottin, Caetani and a Fly), by Max Eilbacher is a teeming piece, a matrix where textures and structures merge together, where the polyrhythmic instances become timbre, where the formal abstraction of the harmonic volutes coagulates around a vibrating form that is actualized in the dramatic reality of a dying fly. And this formal mastery is not disembodied in Max Eilbacher’s work and the kaleidoscopic forms of the sound spectra that he has deployed know how to resonate in the sensations and experiences of each one.
——
These two pieces have this in common, but each with their own agenda, that they evolve with grace and inspiration in the vast domain of the sound world and it is a great pride for us to present them in this new collection.
Voici une nouvelle collection de publications, la série Portraits GRM, toujours sous la direction du GRM et des Editions MEGO, non plus axée sur le répertoire “classique” du GRM mais vers des créations récentes commandées par le GRM à des artistes de tous horizons. Cette série Portraits GRM se concentrera sur les figures importantes et émergentes de la scène musicale expérimentale et mettra en avant la notion de travail plutôt que d’album.
Lucy Railton, “Forma”, pour sons fixés et violoncelle en direct. Commande de l’INA-GRM créée à la Maison de la Radio, Paris, le 1er juin 2019. Une œuvre qui joue sur une multiplicité de facettes et de points de vue comme un kaléïdoscope.
Max Eilbacher, “Metabolist Meter (Foster, Cottin, Caetani and a Fly). Enregistré entre novembre 2018 et mars 2019 et créé pour le festival Présences électroniques 2019 à Paris. Réduction stéréo. Le foisonnement continue ici aussi dans l’abstraction de volutes harmoniques toutes en vibrations polyrythmiques. L’organique pris au piège de la métamorphose.
