Hervé Perez, Alexandru Hegyesi

An electroacoustic work by Hervé Perez taking the form of a suite of compositions which combine Hervé's software based sounds with a host of beautiful and unusual sounds from a wide range of instruments played by Hervé and collaborator Alex Hegyesi. The finished work is a great example of Hervé's precision attention to structure and sonic detail.

 

In Hervé's words: 'For the second collaboration with Alex, I decided to change the way I approached composing and arranging the work. The recordings I received were more varied, more instruments were featured. I also asked Alex to record specific things, in a given key or tempo, etc. as well as longer improvisations. I had a lot more material to play with and wanted to create music that was still following in the electroacoustic tradition but also paid respect to other genres we were both interested in: jazz, improv, prog, folk, electronic and noise…'
