The Shapes of Collapses

Dotflac Rhythms turn to mapped reliefs and melodies become iterative convolutions. Meaning is obsolete and being is barely relevant.

What once were tangible sounds slowly changed into products of pure abstraction, a sizzling ball of boiling frequencies randomly rising, colliding and collapsing until they turned themselves inside out.

Really, there is nothing to imagine and there is nothing to expect here. But there is nothing to fear neither, for beauty is one of the numerous manifestations of chaos. Favorite track: And the Hexagon.

✭ ✭ ✭ ABOUT 'THE SHAPES OF COLLAPSES' ✭ ✭ ✭

[EN]

The Shapes of Collapses is Paskine’s sophomore album. His debut album Nimod was released in 2014 by VoxxoV Records. His new album is composed of ten tracks (and two bonus tracks) mirroring the different shapes of collapses and explosions.
It is a die-hard work striving to reach sound abstraction as close as possible, and it sometimes achieves this goal. As a result, the melodies, the rhythmics, and the other repetitive elements constantly evolve until they collapse and drown in their own sonorous and abrasive streams. It only comes to mutation and the evolution of sounds.
Consequently, this album can be equated with a repetition of cycles freely inspired by natural disasters such as the melting of ice caps, volcanic eruptions, meteorological anomalies and so on. The sound elements are all exclusively electronic. The Shapes of Collapses is the result of several years of work and research. The latter were accomplished especially thanks to the gmem CNCM in Marseilles, who offered their invaluable help during a research residency in 2015 and 2016.



[FR]

The Shapes of Collapses est le second album de Paskine. Il fait suite à son album Nimrod édité en 2014 par VoxxoV Records. Cette collection de dix pièces sonores (plus deux titres bonus) est construite autour de l’idée de composer les formes d’écroulements, de déflagrations.
C’est un travail jusqu’au-boutiste cherchant à s’approcher au plus près de l’abstraction sonore, pour parfois l’atteindre. Ainsi, les mélodies, rythmiques et autres éléments répétitifs évoluent constamment jusqu’à s’écrouler et se noyer dans leurs propres torrents sonores abrasifs. Tout n’est ici question que de mutation et d'évolution de la matière.
En cela, l’album peut-être considéré comme une répétition de cycles s’inspirant librement de réactions naturelles radicales, fonte des glaces, éruptions volcaniques, événements météorologiques etc.
Tous les éléments sonores sont ici purement électroniques.
Cet album est le fruit d'une année de travail et de recherche, réalisé notamment grâce à l'aide précieuse du gmem CNCM Marseille, lors d’une résidence de recherche en 2015 et 2016.



✭ ✭ ✭ PASKINE - BIO ✭ ✭ ✭

[EN]

Paskine is a musician composer and video maker, his work is focused on acoustic and visual projects, each of these elements are closely interrelated and influence each other. He creates graphic documents, short movies, videos, sound installations, performances, musical works and albums. His work is based on the will to succeed to distort a mechanism, to create an independant approach, repetitive and progressive, working toward a caused confusion. The idea is to work on undesired phenomena that might simply or unintentionally disrupt an information, either chronological, narrative, music or video, with the result of coincidence and accident. It aims at making an abstract information, bordering on a visible and immaterial work. These differents results are demonstrating an individual view, a subjective observation of a certain ambient instability.


[FR]

Paskine est un musicien et vidéaste, il travaille autant la matière sonore que visuelle, ces médiums étant liés l’un à l’autre et s’influencent mutuellement. Il crée des pièces graphiques, des courts et moyens métrages, des vidéos, des installations sonores, des procédés performatifs, des compositions musicales et des albums. Son travail tourne autour de la volonté de fausser un mécanisme, de créer des méthodes autonomes, répétitives et évolutives menant à une certaine confusion. L’idée est de travailler sur des phénomènes indésirables qui viendraient perturber naturellement ou volontairement une information, qu’elle soit temporelle, narrative, musicale ou vidéo, pour un résultat tenant parfois du hasard et de l’accidentel. Le but étant de rendre une information quasi abstraite, à la limite du visible et immatérielle. Ces différents résultats sont des formes témoignant d’une vision individuelle, d’un constat subjectif d’une certaine instabilité ambiante.

Paskine est diplômé des beaux arts d’Aix-en-Provence en 2015, il a sorti son premier album “Nimrod” en 2014, son deuxième album “The Shapes of Collapses” sera édité en 2017. Il a participé à plusieurs festivals, comme le Transient en 2014 et 2015, le festival Nuit Digital en 2015, le festival Reevox et le festival Riam en 2016. Il réalise actuellement le moyen métrage “Les Mues Sauvages” en collaboration avec Cléo Lhéritier. Il collabore pour l'année 2017 avec la compagnie de danse/théâtre Nosaltrès pour laquelle il contribue à la composition musicale avec Julien Amady, et en charge du mixage sonore de leur dernière pièce The Shadow of the South.
