- Summary:
- "The following audio-work is my first attempt of a sound (or tuning in) meditation, without using verbal language. I have been looking for ways to reduce discursive elements as much as possible for such a practice, as I am in an environment where most of the people around me have a different mother tongue. I also think a sound meditation is both an empirical and intimate experience, and I often struggle to find the right terminology conveying my own auditive experiences. This piece is called Tuning In as it is meant to be an introduction to a solo violin program I am releasing as an album next year. Before the music starts I wanted to propose a moment for the listeners at home to "clean their ears" * from daily life's rumble (I am speaking from a city-life perspective), so they can be receptive to music again. At first, I wanted to use sea sounds entangled with violin fragments. But two "technical" issues occurred to me: I don't live close to the sea, and I am not a skillful field recorder. I then tried to recreate a seascape with tools I felt comfortable with: a violin, a bow and a laptop. *I recommend listening to this track with headphones, taking the time to adjust the volume as necessary."-- provided by distributor.
