‡ THE PAST ‡

Gun-Gi was the band I started with Adrien Silvestre late 2007. I was playing laptop and he was playing guitar, but we then moved on and used several instruments and processes to work — home-made synthesizers, bass, cello, and everything we actually wanted to play with. We were joined by Jeremy Ledda (drums & others) early 2009 and became a trio, playing a music that could be rock-oriented as well as more experimental, influenced by old-school industrial, minimal music from the 60′s, electronic & electroacoustic music, and so on.

Our interests were in repetition, discipline, processes, sensation of time passing/not passing, starkness, slow changes, unseen things. And still are, for me.

IT’S RAINING IN THE DESERT

Release from 2010, two pieces about half an hour long, focused on repetition — a quite atmospheric one played live in Mulhouse’s Chapelle Saint Jean in November of 2009, the other one more rock’n'roll, even more repetitive.

BURNING SPEAKER

Burning Speaker is a music & video piece recorded and played by Gun-Gi.

Here sound and video are really entangled.

You can see below some video stills, they’re all from video-surveyance cameras. For all the 30 minutes of the piece, they’re flickering real fast and always at the same rate, so that you can only guess that you often see the same pictures again, but cannot really concentrate on it and see what it is. But what you see changes slowly towards a vision of many differents pictures of the same place, filmed at several different times of day and year. As if being everywhere everytime altogether at the same time.

In the meantime, the sound is changing also very slowly, from a very slow to a very fast rythm, melting at the end into a more harmonious sustained tune.

Played in Bordeaux & Mulhouse

Released as a DVD, November 2009
