Sylvidre

Le processus de fabrication de Sylvidre est le suivant :

Tout les sons sont issus des 5 fichiers fournis par le MEG (Musée d’Ethnographie de Genève). Aucune autre source. Les fichiers sont découpés en de petites fractions qui sont ralenties ou accélérées. Ces échantillons sont traités à travers de multiples effets conventionnels tel que delay et écho. Certains sont ensuite granularisés et warpés, voire même transmogrifiés. On obtient alors 136 boucles de longueurs variables. Ces boucles sont organisées aléatoirement par groupe de 4. Lors du live, il n’est jamais joué plus de 4 boucles en même temps. Ces 4 sources sonores sont alors mixées et filtrées en direct. Elles peuvent être recapturées à l’aide de deux loopers, créant ainsi deux couches supplémentaires qui peuvent être à leur tour ralenties, accélérées et retraitées en direct. Une belle réverbération agrémente le résultat final. Ce dispositif permet d’improviser sur une très longue durée et offre une large diversité sonore tout en conservant une atmosphère sylvestre.

The manufacturing process for Sylvidre is as follows:

All the sounds come from the 5 files provided by the MEG (Ethnographic Museum of Geneva). No other source. Files are cut into small fractions which are slowed down or accelerated. These samples are processed through multiple conventional effects such as delay and echo. Some are then granularized and warped, or even transmogrified. We then obtain 136 loops of variable lengths. These loops are randomly organized in groups of 4. During live, more than 4 loops are never played at the same time. These 4 sound sources are then mixed and filtered live. They can be recaptured using two loopers, creating two additional layers that can in turn be slowed down, sped up and reprocessed live. A beautiful reverberation enhances the final result. This device allows you to improvise over a very long period of time and offers a wide sound diversity while maintaining a forest atmosphere.
