Une rencontre
τὸ  ντίξουν συμφέρον καὶ ἐκ τῶν διαφερόντων καλλίστην ἁρμονίαν καὶ πάντα κατ'
ἔριν γίνεσθαι
What opposes unites, and the finest attunement stems from things bearing in opposite
directions, and all things come about by strife.
μεταβάλλον  ναπαύεται
It rests by changing.
ξυνὸν γὰρ  ρχὴ καὶ πέρας ἐπὶ κύκλου περιφερείας
Concerning the circumference of a circle the beginning and the end are common.
Herakleitos of Ephesos Fragments 8, 84 and 103
Une rencontre (2013) is intended as a “virtuoso” piece where short vocal samples are
deeply processed together with acoustic instruments samples and synthesized
elements in order to achieve or at least tending toward a total fusion of these
elements. It is not just a mixing work, but instead it is the fusion of more sound
objects in one, mainly through convolution algorithms. In this way I especially
researched for a spectral merging of voice and acoustic or electronic instruments.
I intentionally propose an artificial procedure where the allocation of formantic
regions is extracted from audio samples of singing voices, and subsequently
superimposed to audio samples of traditional acoustic instruments or even to
synthesized sounds. The original formants of the acoustic and synthesized sounds
have been partly preserved in some moments, while the formants coming out from
voices have been added or sometimes have replaced them, therefore in few points an
overload of harmonics has been deliberately caused in order to experiment an
emphasis of the expressive strength and emotional communication of the resulting
timbre. The work involves also the use of other DSP processes throughout: selective
spectrum saturation, resonant notch bank filtering, multiple delays, and distortion. In
some isolated moments the output of a process is injected in a granularization
module, in order to achieve a subtle and mutant texture.
The title reveals the aesthetic sense of the work, where a relevant meeting can be not
just an encounter, but also the occasion for a mutual exchange, therefore everything
and the whole of the world are in continuous transformation, by means of mutual
confrontation.
