Synalegg

Tip! French producer and composer Synalegg is back to OOH-sounds with the startling second (and final) installment of his inventive Computer Series. In an exploratory generative experiment, he developed a Pure Data patch capable of autonomous composition. Each activation produces unpredictable and immersive sonic environments that reflect the structural complexity of the patch.

Synalegg aimed to subvert the tyranny of the composer, liberating music from the influence of individual taste and deliberate choice. The radical computer music of Synalegg moves with abstract grace, weaving together shattered, haunting, and at times gentle gestures. Embedded in the textures of these generative compositions are fleeting human cadences, grounding their digital streaming with an almost corporeal flow. Computer Series incorporates subtle nods to cracking electronic music, loose digitalia, and asynchronous no-rave, all within a seamless continuum of freeform textures and tones.

The both releases capture the sound of vast and intricate mathematical models in motion, offering tantalizing glimpses of their internal logic while withholding full transparency of their operations. Synalegg interrogates notions of taste, authorship, and detachment, demonstrating that generative processes can both transgress the boundaries of human expectation and elicit profound affect. Computer Series is the apex of Synalegg's machine-driven exploration, producing works that feel neither human nor machine. In this third space, generative processes collide with faint traces of anthropic imprint, unleashing playful and unpredictable sonic worlds.
