MEURSAULT, PALI - Stridulations

Format: LP Label & Cat.Number: Discrepant CREP 56 Release Year: 2018 Note: non-ordinary noises based on: 1) recordings of insects, birds and bats made in different countries; 2) electromagnetic field sounds of prepared fluorescent tubes sonified with pick-up coils.. => obscure mixture of electronic and organic drones, lumbering mechanics, sizzling atmospherics.... very special stuff dedicated only for the advanced connaisseur of sound art !! Price (incl. 19% VAT): €18.00 More Info For stridulations, Meursault confronts recorded and performed sounds, composition and improvisation: field- recordings of animal communication (insects, birds and bats recorded in France, Japan and South America over almost ten years) mix and dialog with the ‘sonification’ of fluorescents tubes. Both the environmental sound matter composition and the electromagnetic instrument have evolved with performances between 2014 and 2017. Little by little, new recordings were collected and new electrical and electronic supplies were added to the setup. The record is altogether the outcome of that process and a different take on the project, leaving the synesthetics of the flickering lights but embracing the deepness of ‘blind’ listening. Pali Meursault is a sound artist, composer and sound designer. His electroacoustic and sound art research takes different shapes: compositions for records, radio works, installations or performances. Environmental sound recording is central in his work, which takes from Musique Concrète and the sonic exploration of soundscapes. https://discrepant.bandcamp.com/album/stridulations
