Hecq — II

Опубликовано: 12 февр. 2015 г.Track 2/4, from Mare Nostrum (Hymen Records ¥832).

The base of the work is done, and both Ben and MareNostrum can progress now that they have common words.

The abstract mechanical and electronic parts quickly stay in the background of the track, being overwhelmed by layers of spatial ambient sounds ponctuated every so often by high-pitched cries and deep kicks. The machine has to tell a story, and even if we still don't know how to translate the details, the emotions can be rightly interpreted.

The sounds in II don't lie, we are already at the next level of understanding and communication. The erratic patterns of computer sounds are more and more weak against the distant melodies appearing and disappearing in the track. We are still in a calibration process, guided by the moanings of the computer, but the database to truly understand each other is exponentially increasing, and the emotions strictly computerized have now a human resonance.

However, are we understanding what the computers says or is the computer understanding what we say? Does the machine adapt to humans or does the human turn into a machine ?

Hecq - IV

Hecq — IV

Опубликовано: 12 февр. 2015 г.Track 4/4, from Mare Nostrum (Hymen Records ¥832).

I think we knew the answer, but we have to make it clear: it's obvious the computer didn't turn into something more human, and it's obvious Hecq didn't turn into an abstract pile of informations. It's more than that.

What seemed to happen in the glass and steel enclosure in Barcelona is a perfect symbiosis between an organic and a digital creature. Two unique and powerful minds that somehow merged and created a new being worth more than the sum of its parts.

This statement is confirmed by the apparition of a developed melody since the beginning of the track, still having this otherworldly feeling coming from the borders of time and space. MareNostrum is working hard to follow Hecq's creation and the artist tries to convert the supercomputer's algorithms into tangible pieces; but to truly create something exceptional, they must both overtake their own limits. This is exactly what happens at half the track: the common decision to pool their knowledge and emotions to produce even more and overshoot their already incredible very own potentials.

After finding a way to communicate, MareNostrum and Hecq created melodic parts already worth the listening, but at this point, what missed was a rhythmic part. And that's what they both achieved in the last ten minutes of the album.

There is a set tempo, but the notes are hit erratically, sometimes off-key, harder or softer. Or are they? Aren't they just at the next level of comprehension for us, humans that can't grasp all the beauty of this piece? We can still get the emotional impact that this ending has on the global concept, evolving from abstract circuitry sounds and glitches to a melodic and rhythmic part that almost frees itself from its origins. But there is some next-level stuff happening here.

They say an average human uses around 10 % of its brain capacity, even if a lot of the neural connexions are existing. IV proves that some can go further and still keep themselves intelligible to the others. And that's what Hecq seems to offer here, an album ahead of its time with nothing to left nearby.

Exceptionnal, and probably already in my 2015 top releases.

Hecq - I

Hecq — I

Опубликовано: 11 февр. 2015 г.Track 1/4, from Mare Nostrum (Hymen Records ¥832).

The introduction to Mare Nostrum is what it happens when two beings that don't know each other meet.

Ben Lukas Boysen was there to record the sounds of the supercomputer, but he didn't know MareNostrum, so they first had to tame each other. That's why the first part of this album is in my opinion the most abstract and raw from all, being the first contact between the artist and the computer.

Armed with a few microphones, the human had to find a way to interact with the machine first, understand its language to develop knowledge from a common foundation. You can hear in I the many tries to find the best way to communicate, where the recordings of mechanical elements from hard drives reader heads share the sounds of flowing electronic informations between central units, Serial-ATA wires and Ethernet cables.

The more the track progresses, the more focused and calm is the mood, just like we are on the verge of finding how to speak with the computer and how to understand the meaning of its sounds.

This is what I is for me. Taming, observation.

Raison D'être — Inner Depths of Sadness

Дата загрузки: 30 окт. 2008 г.My first homemade video with one of my favourite Dark Ambient piece´s.

The «lyrics»

They had been shot. They had been shot in the head. They had been stripped of all their clothing. Thrown into a mine-shaft. Hand-grenades had been thrown on the bodies to collapse the mine-shaft on the bodies."

«She died of internal injuries. An autopsy showed almost a year's worth of other wounds—old bruises, broken bones—had never been treated.»

---

Person A: «And, kind of a boiling, right under the surface.A pain.»

Person B: «It shocked me to my heart.»

Person A: «It's like taking a deep breath and not being able to let it out. Right under the surface, a pain.»

Person B: «It shocked me to my heart.»


Questioner: «How many times did you stab her when she was in the living room?»

Defendant: «Five times.»

Questioner: «Four or five… Do you feel bad about what happened? [unintelligible]...»

Defendant [interrupting]: «No.»

Questioner: "...you than her? You don't feel bad about what happened to her?"

Defendant: «Not at all.»
