VERLP030 : Jonathan Fitoussi & Clemens Hourrière - " FIVE STEPS "
Five Steps is the fruit of a recent collaboration between Jonathan Fitoussi and Clemens Hourrière.
The Buchla 200 is one of the first modular synthesizers dating from the 1970s.
Jonathan Fitoussi and Clemens Hourrière, sharing a passion for vintage synthesithers,
accepted an invitation at EMS Stockholm for a week-long residency to explore and create this body of work.
Using solely the Buchla 200 without any other instruments, the two composers/producers imagines each piece as part of a film track.
Using certain sound ideas and talented tinkering, the work is somewhat mimimalist,
and offers different moods, corresponding with different times of the day and the city of Stockholm.
All tracks recorded at EMS Studio Stockholm during a residency at Studio 4 / May 2014.
SELECTED REVIEWS
“… toutes mes félicitations pour la délicate précision et la lisibilité parfaite des jeux.
Beaucoup d’imagination des timbres, (…)
c’est un moment de franche simplicité parmi la “nature des sons”."
François Bayle
“… I love hearing the Buchla (…) and especially appreciate the attention you give to spatial placement.
I love the precision and intentionality of your compositions, but especially the spirit.
Wonderful listening !”
Suzanne Ciani
“An elegant and beautifully balanced record. Perfectly in control of the equipment and their material, Fitoussi and Hourriere demonstrate why so many contemporary electronic artists still yearn for the controllability and personality of vintage modular synthesizers.
They show that it is not a patina of lo-fi sludge and saturation that is important, it has more to do with the subtle organic control of electronic sound.
Control that doesn’t sacrifice serendipity, spontaneity or humanity.”
Jim Jupp - Ghost Box Records
