about

I like recording sounds from churches and other places of cult. This is the result of myself trying to blend some of these recordings with different composition techniques. I don't consider myself religious yet I feel particularly drawn to sacred music.

This album was featured on daily.bandcamp.com/best-of-2019/the-acid-tests-best-albums-of-2019

Thank you for listening!

Some influences :
Áine O'Dwyer (esp. Music for Church Cleaners)

Track by track comments:

Track 1 : The beginning was recorded at my local cathedral one morning. The cathedral was empty and the doors wide open. I guess someone must have been rehearsing on the organ. I should get a better recorder.
The second part is me on Ableton Live. It's ok I guess.

Track 2 : The beginning is a recording of a mass in Mont-Saint-Michel. I was lucky to visit during this ceremony and could record a few minutes. The second part is build around short snippets of this recording reversed, stretch, looped and with added reverb. I think it sounds pretty good, especially the ending. I'm pretty proud of this track.

Track 3 : This was recorded at the end of a mass at my local cathedral. I just stood there and recorde while people poured out. The rest is some kind of drone/noise improvisation i made one afternoon. It's probably very annoying.

Track 4 : The Dying Californian is one of the many songs from the tradition of Sacred Harp singing. The first sample is a text2speech version (found on sacredharpbremen.org) and the second is from some youtube video. I find it very powerful somehow. It's not a real track and I didn't do anything apart from cropping the samples in audacity but I just wanted to make you listen to these.
