Falter Bramnk

The project “Glassical Music” is born from an astonishing hearing sensation, barely perceptible, coming from returned glasses rinsed with hot water. The resulting phenomenon of condensation reveals, between water, air and glass, the presence of specific timbric textures and continuous rhythmic patterns, quite different according to the choice of containers (glasses, bottles, and by extension of the materials: plastic or metal). Glass and water vapour are thus the only sound materials used, and less so with the intention of making them heard for themselves than in a desire for composition. French composer, improvisor, sound designer and sound editor, Falter Bramnk lives and works in Lille (France). Musical education: studied piano and singing. Activities: starts with music for theater, video art, then contemporary dance and at present mainly short films (fiction and animated). Plays and composes with live bands (currently the band Grand Orchestre de Muzzix), also live music with silent films and involved in multi-instruments solo projects and sound art (sound-portraits and phonographies). Co-founder of MUZZIX, DJ on the radio show “Opposition de phase” on RCV.99.FM since 1998.
