By releasing a resonance rather than a note, the pressure of the keys then opening a void, other modes of play have required tools with a roundabout function and instruments that our daily habits have made their own.” Some drones evolved continuously for several days in a row, in order to see the gradual emergence of new timbres produced by the microscopic movements of objects inside the piano. The piano used is a late 19th century German grand piano, allowing, when it is wide open, all kinds of placements, preparations, rebounds. “Entirely recorded in the hours of the night, in order to capture very low amplitude sounds that neighboring noises would have made imperceptible, the twelve configurations of Music for Piano reflect research on vibration. But the artist himself says it more precisely : His new album Music for Piano focuses on the acoustic properties of the instrument used in various ways in order to generate rich and subtle resonances. Nicolas Tourney is a french experimental musician and sound designer, also owner of the label Snow in Water Records. Step (5) play it at low/high volume with open/closed window while complety asleep / fully conscious. The only variations used while mixing are equalization, panoramics and volume levels. Step (4) Using the generated sounds as only source in a posteriori compositions. Step (3) Repeating steps (1) & (2) several times. Step (2) Stopping tweaking, then recording for at least 20 minutes without any intervention on the set-up. Step (1) Tweaking the set-up until it produces some seemingly autonomously self-sustained sound sequences. Frozen Clinamen #8 was recorded and mixed between february 2019 and september 2021 using analog synthesizer as only sound source. It follows a simple method inspired by the the possibilities of his no-input mixer set-up (and sometimes other modular set-ups) and the will to use a limited sound material in a posteriori compositions : all the sounds included in these works are recordings of moments that feature no human intervention.
