Blessed chittering chirps and twirls and squeaks and screeches. Musique from a divinely feminine ether.

Performance de Martin Messier à Akousma Douze à l’Usine C

After a few false starts over the last 2 years I’m happy to be finally posting some new solo music. I’m hoping to make this a regular occurrence as I’ve been focused on developing new material. 7el7 uB is one of my favourite pieces recorded over the summer of 2015. It’s centred around a processed acoustic guitar progression which interacts with a crescendo of layered electronics.

Cathy Lane: Nesting Stones

Falling Leaves (Mono No Aware) is an electroacoustic/ambient composition completed over the winter of 2011-2012. It premiered at the Further Series Electroacoustic 2012 Concert in Vancouver.  The piece begins with a crescendo of sound highlighted by two melodies looping out of sync with one another. A drifting sense of time slowing down is created as a sound collage of falling leaves is introduced. As the piece progresses, several high pitched tones slowly bleed through the mix, gradually enveloping everything, before it all fades away.  The title “Falling Leaves (Mono No Aware)” refers to the Japanese term used to describe the awareness of impermanence, or the transience of things, and a gentle sadness at their passing.
