Ouvrir des portails vers l'immensité du chaos quantique

 

(Igorrr (Monsieur Gautier Serre) is a French composer of electronic and acoustic music who mixes with astonishing ease genres as different as electronica, baroque music, death metal and trip hop among others. The result of that virtuous freakie musical mind is a a mangled maelstrom of classical coupled with modern synthesised and virtual instrumentation, resulting in a breakbeat-black metal-opera exercise in madness.

 

Serre is also part of the now disbanded side-projects Whourkr and Corpo-Mente. The Igorrr project became a full band with the addition of vocalists Laure Le Prunenec and Laurent Lunoir, drummer Sylvain Bouvier, guitarist Martyn Clément and bassist Erlend Caspersen. In 2021 both vocalists left the band and were replaced with JB Le Bail and Aphrodite Patoulidou, who were later replaced by Marthe Alexandre. In 2024 Rémi Serafino took the posision of the drummer.

 

Igorrr's sound combines breakbeats, heavy metal riffs, extreme tempo changes, and operatic singing coupled with screaming/growling, among other elements, to create an intense, disturbing, and undeniably distinct experience". The project's musical sources include black metal, death metal, industrial metal, progressive metal, classical music (especially Baroque music), Balkan music, breakcore and trip hop).

 

[Although it was a long five years of waiting, it was totally worth it, welcome back again to my favorite band. -CM-].

Die Störungen des Äthers streicheln

 

(German-Sorbian musician and composer Carolina Eyck was introduced to the theremin by her parents at the age of 7. She took her first theremin lessons with Lydia Kavina.

 

After her debut in the Berlin Philharmonie in 2002 she has been invited to concerts and festivals around the world. It was not long before she was known as one of the best theremin soloists worldwide.

 

At the age of 16, Carolina developed a new precise playing technique, called the 8 finger position technique. She published the first extensive theremin method book entitled "The Art of Playing the Theremin" in 2006.

 

With this technique the player is able to tune the theremin to their hand and rely on their finger positions, rather than correcting notes after they are audible. This method is now being used by thereminists around the world and has revolutionized how the instrument is played.

 

In 2016, Carolina began touring her solo Theremin & Voice program. She breaks new ground by using a surround sound system, allowing her theremin to break free and fill the space. Loops and choirs developed on stage fly through the room in sync with the movements of her dance-like performance. Balancing between minimal and progressive electronic music, Carolina's melodic and partly fixed composition style leaves plenty of space for her virtuoso improvisations.

 

Her transcription of Ennio Morricone's "The Ecstasy of Gold" got more than 15 million views online. Carolina has released several solo albums, including "Elegies for Theremin & Voice" (2019) and "Thetis 2086" (2022).

 

Over the years, Carolina has collaborated with various musicians, conductors, ensembles and symphony orchestras, such as Fazil Say, Heinz Holliger, Michael Sanderling, Gürer Aykal and Brad Lubman, the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, BBC Philharmonic, Bern Symphony Orchestra, San Francisco Ballet Orchestra, Argentine National Symphony Orchestra, Brussels Philharmonic, National Symphony Orchestra (Washington, D.C.) and Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg.

 

Carolina has performed in concert halls around the world, including the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C., MONA (Museum of New and Old Art) Tasmania, Konzerthaus Berlin, Bozar Brussels, Rudolfinum in Prague, Großes Festspielhaus Salzburg, Centro Cultural Kirchner (CCK) Buenos Aires, Teatro National de Guatemala and Centro Gabriela Mistral Santiago, Chile.

 

In 2006, Carolina won the International Competition for Composers arranged by Radio/TV Berlin-Brandenburg for her orchestral composition "Sciciani".

 

In 2015, she received the German Echo Klassik in the category "Concert Recording of the Year (20th/21st century music)" for playing the Theremin Concerto "Eight Seasons" by Kalevi Aho, conducted by John Storgårds and played with the Lapland Chamber Orchestra, published in 2014 by BIS records).

Warm sounds to shelter hopelessness

 

(Dorval & Devereaux is the debut collaboration between Crystal Dorval (White Poppy) and Beau Devereaux (Samantha Glass), hailing from British Columbia and Wisconsin respectively. These two lysergic-pop minds came together back in April 2012 and after sculpting the tunes for nearly a year, are ready to unveil their self-titled debut. The result is a transportive album; one of hazy, bubbling therapeutic pop, insistent drum machine loops and hypnotizing, mantra-like melodies).
