John Young
Histoires de Soldats
Two documentary works by John Young built on soldiers' voices: a First World War veteran recalling the angel at Mons at 101, and the composer's father, a New Zealand gunner, on his war in Italy, where he met Young's mother. CD-R.
Espaces Lointains
Six works by John Young from 2017 to 2023, from New York subway preachers and Oberlin crickets to Mahler’s composing hut and a setting of Simon Perril’s poem after Lévi-Strauss, including the Klang ! and Akousmatique prize winners. CD-R.
Serenade & Blues
On Serenade & Blues, Von Freeman eases his Chicago tenor into an after‑hours glow, trading the swagger of Have No Fear for late‑night ballads and slow blues that stretch time without ever losing their bite.
La Limite du Bruit
Five acousmatic works by John Young from 1995 to 2001, each grown from one intimate or environmental sound: hands, a single breath, wind across two microphones, a childhood swing and rain falling on leaves, windows and puddles.
Lieu-Temps
Two 5.1 works by John Young from 2005 about his parents meeting in wartime Forlì: the Bourges-winning Ricordiamo Forlì, built from war correspondence archives and his father’s memories, and Arrivederci for the ensemble Stroma and the Duomo bells. DVD-Audio.
