about

"sur un fil" is French for "walking on the tightrope", or "wrestle with the fine line", defining the approach for those new tracks.

Live recordings, those works are made with two instances of the same instrument; each instrument is based on two sounds (some plucks and tines), running different but parallel arpeggiators (a 'chord' and 'up' patterns).

Convolutions (cross-correlations) grow and transform as I play the chords and the notes while changing the synchronisation and the patterns on the fly, while the velocity controls the variations of the sound characteristics (hands briefly flying between keyboards and mouse, thanks to sustain pedals).

Once it's started, there is only one way: playing forward, "sur un fil", anticipating and improvising - human and machine playing together (it does not always work).

I thought I would share with you three selected works based on this technique: the first is a "raw track" (played with only one instrument), used for additional track recording performed with both instruments and both hands on the second and the third tracks.
