Improvisus B200-3 explores articulate sounds, rhythmical sounds, elastic materials, impulses, sequences of random notes and low beatings mostly inspired by the sounds of some “drumming” fish species, to which I added imaginary variations.

This work was completed from a multitrack improvisation at the Buchla 200 synthesizer. I tried to retain the directness of the instrumental performance of analog synthesis, leaving the original sequence of interventions largely untouched, but heavily mixing the tracks. I wanted to explore a specific sound palette that represents one underwater species from the Radiolaria cycle’s collection.

Improvisus B200-3 was realized in 2022 at the Elektronmusikstudion (EMS) in Stockholm (Sweden) then remixed in 2023 at Studio Blue Spider in Montréal (Québec). Thanks to the entire EMS team. The realization of this piece was made possible thanks to the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ).
