[fri:z]

by Gaëtan Gromer

drone2805 Another Gaëtan Gromer Album that has A LOT OF POWER! The sound quality is fantastic. The sound is clear, the textures are rich and the frequencies are well felt. The artist has gone to great lengths to give us well-rounded sound experiences. And personally, I love the very particular sound of its rhythms. I want more. When will the next delivery? Favorite track: Oroshi.

about

English
[fri: z] refers to computer's freeze and its mental equivalent when the brain temporarily interrupts the course of time, leaving us only dealing with pure sensations, as if frozen, completely immersed in what we are experiencing.
The album "tells" about four of these moments : a moment of exhaustion in Kirghizstan (Oroshi), of strangeness in Bulgaria (Burgas 0-2), of bliss in Nepal (Aube à Pokhara), and of intense daydreaming before experiencing a kind of agoraphobic anxiety in Canada (La ville du dessous).
The basis sounds used in these pieces were recorded in these places before beeing deeply transformed to create those special atmospheres.

Français
[fri:z] fait référence au freeze informatique et à son équivalent mental, lorsque le cerveau interrompt momentanément la marche du temps et que nous ne sommes plus que sensations, comme figés, complètement immergés dans ce que nous vivons.
Le disque « raconte » quatre de ces moments, un moment d’épuisement au Kirghizstan (Oroshi), d’étrangeté en Bulgarie (Burgas 0-2), de béatitude au Népal (Aube à Pokhara), et d’intense rêverie suivie d’une sorte d’angoisse agoraphobique (La ville du dessous).
Tous les sons de base utilisés dans ces morceaux, ont été enregistrés dans ces endroits avant d’être profondément transformés pour créer ces atmosphères si particulières.

HUGE! To say that I almost missed this incredible artist! If you like Yannick Dauby's field recording, the strangeness of Kassel Jaeger, the sound of Yves De Mey and the power of Abul Mogard, you will be absolutely fulfilled! It's so perfect, complete and intense. Really WOW! A must in my Bandcamp collection! drone2805

The Shapes of Collapses
by Paskine

supported by 4 fans who also own “[fri:z]”

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 Meaning is obsolete and being is barely relevant.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. Dotflac
