2e volume pour études génératives, cet album est un peu plus mélodique que le précédent. J'accepte un peu plus de considérer ces pistes comme une bande-son plutôt qu'une vraie musique, puisque je me concentre sur une atmosphère particulière pendant la performance du titre plutôt qu'une vraie progression avec une structure de chanson classique. C'est aussi adapté au format de création musical sous forme de patch où une fois qu'il est terminé, la base de l'idée est là, la musique est agencée dans ces branchements de câbles et ces positions de potards, il ne reste plus qu'à la performer, et pour moi ça demande de la spontanéité. Parfois, je suis prise dans l'ambiance du moment, et comme c'est avant des pistes que je fais pour moi, pour en profiter dans l'instant, ça peut paraître long sur le record ?
This is a very experimental work, that was recorded as an improvisation and arranged later in Reaper with a bit of layering and crops. The sounds are generated from feedback patches made with maxmsp and a vcv rack patch that feedbacks a simulation of Mutable Instruments Element eurorack module. I really like the sounds that were created from this and the tracks turned out better than I expect, but it's definitely not everyone's taste.
am i moving ? can i still keep trying ? wandering in parched lands, have i lost myself ?
This EP is the first actually produced stuff that I've end up with and it's quite different than what I'm used to do, i guess. I tried to focus a bit on motion, emotion spaces I'm located in these days and tried to translate to music the horrors of feeling stuck.
Used a lot of different stuff, samples from glitchy drum beats done with strudel.cc and some Max MSP patch that was laying around in my laptop that is a try at a combination of FM and Karplus-Strong synthesis. Used Vital for most of the melodic/fx/bip-boopy parts. The last track was made using mostly modular synth. This was inspired by aya (whose music I've been obssessed with since seeing her live) and especially her "and depart from mono games" as loft. Hope this is acceptably mixed and that you'll enjoy this work !

Made entirely using VCV Rack, this album is a collection of patches I fiddled with over the course of the past 6 months or so, and I finally settled down on recording them (I have to write my thesis so that's why I'm becoming productive on the music side of the stuff I have to do). All of these tracks were recorded on 19th July 2025.
It's generative ambient, some tracks are more whimsical other more drony sounds, a few are a bit more dark ambient and perhaps a bit oppressive. Mostly made these for the vibes. The content of this album is more soothing than the previous one I made.
My first album I've put out. It was composed from late 2023 to around the release date, at a time where I discovered synthesis. First, with VCV Rack, then with a used Behringer Crave and with the later tracks, an early version of a modular synth.
The music that came out is mostly experimental ambien, inspired some video game music like Stray, Outer wilds and Signalis. Also by artists like Bochum Welt, Max Cooper, Lilly Schwartz and the OST of Columbus by Hammock
Writing this feels weird since the album was released around a year ago now. Even though I feel like I have made a lot of progress, I'm still proud of these first musics I have ever released after struggling for almost a decade to compose actual songs. Turns out I just needed the appropriate medium to do so :)
