Éric La Casa - Les Oscillations (Fringes Recordings, 2005)




1 Les Oscillations Part 1 (21:11)
2 (Silence) (1:30)
3 Les Oscillations Part 2 (22:36)

Sur ces deux morceaux Eric La Casa utilise les mêmes matériaux, les prenant à rebours et sans respecter la structure...

The man with the microphone: that might be the apt description of Eric La Casa. You find him near the sea, alongside the river or in the shed behind his house: always listening with a microphone, a pair of headphones and means to record the sounds. Over the years he must have collected a great deal of these recordings, and for 'Les Oscillations part 1 - 2', he uses in both pieces the same sound material. In part 1 this goes from A to Z, and in part 2 from Z to A: the pieces are mirrored to each-other. If one wouldn't know this, it would be hard to notice. In a collage form we come across airplanes, water sounds and rain drops, some of which might be processed on the computer, but some may not be. Perhaps none of the sounds are: you never know with La Casa. This is a soundscape in it's almost purest form, one should just sit back and listen. Let it come like a wave coming to you, near the seaside. Another fine addition to the man's already extensive discography.
