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.»

Brian Eno - An Ending (Ascent)

Brian Eno — An Ending (Ascent)

Дата загрузки: 2 сент. 2009 г.Ambient.

Brian Peter George St. John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno[1] (born 15 May 1948), commonly known as simply Brian Eno (pronounced /ˈiːnoʊ/), is an English musician, composer, record producer, music theorist and singer, who, as a solo artist, is best known as one of the principal innovators of ambient music.[2]

Eno studied at art school, taking inspiration from minimalist painting, but he had little musical education or playing experience when he joined the band Roxy Music as their keyboards and synthesisers player in the early 1970s. Roxy Music's success in the glam rock scene came quickly, but Eno soon tired of touring, and he left the group after the release of For Your Pleasure (1973), beginning his solo career with Here Come the Warm Jets (1973) and Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) (1974).

Eno extended his reach into more experimental musical styles with (No Pussyfooting) (1973) (a collaboration with Robert Fripp), Another Green World (1975) and Discreet Music (1975). His pioneering efforts at «sonic landscapes» began to consume more of his time beginning with Ambient 1/Music for Airports (1978) and later Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks (1983) which was composed for the documentary film For All Mankind. Eno nevertheless continued to sing on some of his records, ranging from Before and After Science (1977) to Another Day on Earth (2005).

Eno's solo work was extremely influential, pioneering ambient and generative music, innovating production techniques, and emphasizing «theory over practice.»[3] He also introduced the concept of chance music to popular audiences partly through collaborations with other musicians.[4] By the end of the 1970s, Eno had worked with David Bowie on the avant-garde «Berlin Trilogy,» helped popularise the American punk rock band Devo and the punk-influenced «No Wave» genre, and had begun to work frequently with Harold Budd, John Cale, Cluster, Robert Fripp and David Byrne, with whom he produced the influential My Life in the Bush of Ghosts (1981). He produced three albums by Talking Heads, including Remain in Light (1980), produced seven albums for U2, including The Joshua Tree (1987), and worked on records by James, Laurie Anderson, Coldplay, Paul Simon, and Slowdive, among others.

As an artist, Brian Eno pursues ventures in parallel to his music career: art installations, a newspaper column in The Observer, and «Oblique Strategies» (written with Peter Schmidt), a deck of cards wherein each card has a cryptic remark or random insight meant to resolve a dilemma. He continues to collaborate with other musicians, produce records, release his own music, and write.
