Unidentified Sound Object
“Unidentified Sound Project” opens with a section entitled “Quantum Dripping” (three tracks), which relays their non-compromising sound research that deals with stylized interferences. Nervous sound structures (which are then modulated in the subsequent “Rebirth” section), elementary sound particles, cacophonies and granular sound frizzles consistently abuse the electronic medium.

Dix Portraits / Douze Mélodies Acousmatiques
In an allusion to Michel Chion’s ‘Dix études de musique concrète’, this collection of acousmatic moments represents a meditative opportunity for Denis Dufour.
