MARIN, STEPHANE - Invisible(s) Archipelago(s) #1 - Serendib Rhythms

Format: CD Label & Cat.Number: Unfathomless U39 Release Year: 2016 Note: a collection of field recordings from Sri Lanka, showing a great variety of obscurest sounds from whatever environment and whatever source, all material seems to be unprocessed and pure, but you often don't know what happened; a crazy concerto grosso of dogs, microsound cracking, strange rhythmic knocking and slapping, materials squeaking and hums coming from nowhere... definitely NOT the typical field recording album, this holds lots of wondrous sounds to discover.. lim. 200 Price (incl. 19% VAT): €14.00 More Info Can a site define itself as the sum of all its spatial constituent parts ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An island is an archipelago ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Could there be some invisible web which would interconnect certain remote places according to unheard ways and means ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The archipelago is a shard of islands ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Invisible(s) Archipelago(s)” is an audio connection attempt between different insular spaces. Each visited, listened to, recorded island is the subject of a new opus in the series. Each island is cut into phonographic fragments and re_composed as an archipelago. “Invisible Archipelago” is the invisible web which links all islands together. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An island is an emergence ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Serendib rhythms” is not a sound postcard giving a portrayal of an exotic insularity. It is much more an emphasizing and a shaping along rhythmic patterns recorded all over Sri-lanka. Through the atomization of the spaces operated by the microphones, and assembled together into an original web by composition, springs out an unheard of archipelago on the surface of a broken up island. The structuration of patterns themselves redesigns an original sound geography. “Serendib rhythms” is the first emerging stone surging from the waters bordering this Invisible Archipelago.
