Ce document a pour nous un goût et une odeur bien particulière. Nous avons souhaitez le mettre en ligne en hommage à la team rennaise des Krash Boyz, maîtres d'oeuvre des célèbres KrashNoz.
En effet, en 2011, Le Syndicat (à l'époque MMX en trio) et Anton Mobin sont programmé séparément, sur deux scènes différentes, à la KrashNoz VI. La connexion est faite et 8 ans après cette première rencontre les deux artistes se présentent en duo pour le KrashNoz VIII.
C'est aussi le dernier concert en public du Désordre avant le confinement 2020. Et quel public !!!
Cette archive a le goût du sang et l'odeur du krash !!!

About Ingrid Plum

Originally from Denmark, Ingrid Plum uses her voice with extended technique, improvisation, field recordings and electronics, to create layered soundscapes, spoken word and songs. Described by The Guardian as “gorgeously atmospheric vocal techniques woven around field recordings & electronics” she has performed and exhibited installation art internationally since 2002, creating work that combines sound art, contemporary classical and folk music. Incorporating her research into folk traditions with field recordings and studying directly with Meredith Monk her recent performances have been described as “succinct and nourishing... a luxuriant space between almost excessive precision and looser improvisation" by The Wire.

https://grahamdunning.com/about/

About Graham Dunning

Graham Dunning [b. 1981] is self-taught as an artist and musician having studied neither discipline academically. His live work explores sound as texture, timbre and something tactile, drawing on bedroom production, tinkering and recycling found objects. He also creates visual work, video and installations drawing on these themes.

Much of the work evolves through experimentation with different processes: considering the methods by which sounds become music; process as a continuum encompassing both improvisational and procedural methods; and testing analogous processes across different media.

Graham has performed solo and in ensembles across the UK, Europe and Canada, and exhibited in the UK, Europe, New Zealand and USA. He teaches Experimental Sound Art at the Mary Ward Centre in London and also gives various independent workshops. He has released through Entr’acte, Seagrave, Tombed Visions and more.

Notes from the label :

This is the first recording by the trio of UK-born, Denmark-based Ingrid Plum, France's Anton Mobin, and Londoner Graham Dunning, consisting of concise tabletop improv pieces utilising electronics, field recordings, vocals, and various unspecified objects.

The title, which can be seen under the windows of some London buildings, refers to a 19th century law guaranteeing unobstructed natural light. Recorded in that city, the music feels situated there, evoking understated mystery, benevolent grittiness, and the fragile quietness that can occasionally occur in a densely populated area.

Review on "Noise Not Music" by Jack Davidson

https://noisenotmusic.com/2020/03/25/review-ingrid-plum-anton-mobin-graham-

dunning-ancient-lights-fort-evil-fruit-mar-20/

I’ve often discussed the marked difference between directly recorded and reverb- filled, space-utilizing tabletop improvisation, and how artists’ work can fall into either category (or both). Like Dylan Burchett’s bread, the piece which most recently engendered this discussion, Ancient Lights seems to possess elements both internal and external, with a spectacular intensity that could only from these three mad sound-scientists at their eclectically equipped laboratory surfaces. Each participant is a formidable force in their own right: Ingrid Plum, accomplished improviser and performer, lends choice contributions from objects, Walkman, and utterance; Anton Mobin, master of his singular, lushly intimate style of théâtre d’objets, amplifies and broadcasts miniature percussive events from his prepared chamber; and Graham Dunning, dedicated sound artist and educator, bewilders (as usual) with his virtuosic extended turntable techniques. This well- controlled mess of machinery takes a while to emerge from the recording which begins “Frame Makers,” which one might think captures the sound of audience members and the surrounding locale during the music’s recording—but all ofAncient Lights was documented in the controlled studio environment of Sound Savers in Hackney. This is just one of many instances in which field recordings and other disparate intrusions are used to play around with physical space in its communicative form, when a somber, wordless croon or distant clunk greases the already precarious surfaces of churning cogs and rotating plates.

SOUNDS AND LOOKS LIKE LIFE

Electronic Cottage Project during June 2020
https://www.electroniccottage.org/hal-mcgee/sounds-and-looks-like-life

Sounds and Looks Like Life
Electronic Cottage Project
an international community audio assemblage
consisting of sounds of daily life
recorded during the month of June 2020
experimental audio folk art for the 21st Century

Audio files contributed by the SaLLL project participants were mixed by random chance procedures in an audio assemblage along with sounds from the video clips from the Sounds and Looks Like Life movie, which you can view here — youtu.be/ZRJSVdJ9noc
There is an option for High Definition playback. Be sure to select it!

Sounds and Looks Like Life project participants are:
{AN} EeL (Canada), Aaron Abrams, Al Margolis, Andrew Dalio, Anton Mobin (France), Austin Rich, Bert Vanden Berghe (The Netherlands), Bill Northcott (Canada), Bret Hart, Charles Rice Goff III, Charlie Kramer, Chris Phinney, Colette Parisa, Crank Sturgeon, D. Petri, David Nadeau (Canada), Dylan Houser, Francesco Aprile (Italy), Hal Harmon, Hal McGee, Harold Schellinx (France), Jay Peele, Jeremiah Paddock, Joey Patrickt, Jonas Juuso (Sweden), Juan Angel Italiano (Uruguay), Judith Pauly-Bender (Germany), Justin Moore, K.R. Seward, Leslie Singer, Lezet (Serbia), Lumen K, Maozifan (Taiwan), Max Eastman, Michael Ridge (England), Mike Cosma, Neda Mehrjoo (Iran), Niniji Chen (Taiwan), osvaldo cibils (Spain), Patrizio Pica (Italy), Phillip Klampe, Rafael González (Spain), Seiei Jack (Japan), Tim Jones (Wales), Will Soderberg.
No country stated = USA.

Conceived, produced, directed, stipulated, assembled and constructed by Hal McGee, employing random chance and automatistic procedures.

The original Sounds and Looks Like Life project page, including project guidelines and stipulations, can be found here:
www.electroniccottage.org/hal-mcgee/sounds-and-looks-like-life

The 170-minute SaLLL audio assemblage has been divided into six parts for the listener's convenience.

The Sounds and Looks Like Life project is BIG and LENGTHY, almost three hours. It will take a long time to enjoy and discover in all of its fullness and richness. Please take your time and enjoy it. There is no rush. The movie and audio album will give all of us much to enjoy and savor for many months and years to come.

Sounds and Looks Like Life is a one of a kind, singular, collaborative community art project. It is joyous and strange and funny and sad and chaotic and puzzling and imperfect and a little bit noisy. It is filled with LIFE. It is difficult in some ways, and not necessarily "politically correct". We are living in odd times and SaLLL is a reflection of these odd and challenging times. In my opinion the best art encourages us to be empathetic, patient, loving, courageous, and joyous.

The spirits of dada, fluxus, cassette culture, mail art, and experimentalism can be found fully alive and breathing within Sounds and Looks Like Life. It is not easily digestible in just a few seconds or minutes. Spend time with it and get to know it and love it for the many things that it is.

Share Sounds and Looks Like Life with your friends and associates, but please be aware that some images and sounds might not be suitable for children or workplaces.
