A series of connections between percussion and electronics.
Recorded between 2017 and 2019 by Benjamin Maumus, Richard Comte, Nils De Deyne and Jean-Philippe Gross, “Dénombrement” regroups a series of connections between percussion (Stéphane Garin) and electronics (Jean-Philippe Gross). The placement of percussion in different phonographies, with an intense and sustained mix of live or pre-recorded sonic data results in a highly synchronised merging of sources. Not only does this create a complete ambiguity and a loss of frame of references in an aesthetic that approaches a study, but transcends it, by recordings of the creation of the piece itself, imbuing it with humanity and distance, humour and anecdotes.
Jean-Philippe Gross (born 1979, lives and works in Metz, France) is a French composer and improviser, founder of
Eich records, and Fragment.
