JOBIN, FRANCE - SINGULUM (CD)

"Returning to LINE after her critically acclaimed 2012's Valence, France Jobin brings us the four sparse elegant works that comprise Singulum. "Quantum physics inspires me to draw a parallel between the fundamental building blocs of physics, sounds and music. I put field recordings through a series of editing and manipulation processes which result in very different sounds from their origins. These manipulations affect time, timbre, harmonics and the essence of each sound, whereas composition influences how they relate to each other." (F.Jobin) Singulum represents an unattainable goal, the process of decay while conserving a continuation of information. All sounds recorded at various locations in North America, Europe, and Japan and at EMS (Stockholm) using the Serge and the Buchla 200 modular synthesizers as well as the Nord Modular.
