Eight musicians play the same virtual synthesizer programmed by myself with Max/MSP following a precise score. They start with the same sound but while slowly modifying each parameter they transform it from within, grinding up its entrails. The listener is positioned at the center of a sound at once unique and multiple. The version on this CD is a live recording made at Les Voûtes in Paris in June 2008 by the CLSI (Circle for the Liberation of Sounds and Images) directed by Paul Méfano. The players are Rodolphe Bourotte, Jorge Campos, Jean-Baptiste Favory, Michaël Kinney, Emmanuel Miéville, Lissa Meridan, Gérard Pape and Stefan Tiedje. 'Unisono II' (2010). For Paul Méfano. Based on Unisono I (eight synthesizers, eight players) but with a new, more complex score. 'Unisono III' (2011). Unisono III is a piece for eight virtual instruments based on the Unisono II score. The synthesized sounds are the model for the virtual instruments (flute, oboe, English horn, two cellos, violin, viola and bass). Their parameters - usually programmed to be as realistic-sounding as possible - are extended to their limits, reaching frequencies and speeds un-imaginable otherwise. Authenticity is no longer important and in this case, the frontier between acoustic and synthetic becomes blurred. 'Unisono IV (2011). Unisono II and Unisono III combined. Edition of 200 copies.
