My first wish when working with sound is to carve a landscape ; an open mental space which will change while going from one ear to an other.
This work in itself offers an infinite number of possibilities specific to the way the sound material is processed. For "zone", this landscape is directly bound to the visuals & to the name "Mystery Sea".
Each tone had to vehicle a feeling of immersion within the visual material, through its texture, in depth. It was thus a question of shaping a landscape from a graphic landscape, organizing a link between the two supports, into time & space, in motion, like two extensions responding to themselves.
Like with image, the sound appears to me like a porous body with multiple entries. Everything is a choice regarding the processing of the texture, and the combinations between the different gained results.
This version of "zone" (the 4th one) is the closest to what Mystery Sea evokes to me in visuals & sound terms : mental wanderings into graphic surfaces & through sound fluxes in constant transformation.

There are seven sequences : seven possibilities to wander into a same landscape."

Currently installed with minimum comfort in Creuse, in a secluded hamlet, Cyril Herry is dedicating most of his time to various forms of art (writing, graphics, photography, video...) and their intercombination...
Also veteran of the french experimental music scene, he had co-founded SECHRES MOUND (with Cédric peyronnet/TOY BIZARRE) EXOTOENDO, and expressed himself through various solo projects, LECANORA being the most known...
NINTH DESERT is his latest one with works released on TAÂLEM, VERATO & AFE... let's also mention that Cyril creates all the beautiful graphics for the TAÂLEM 3"cd-r series and the KOKESHIDISK sister-label... he also realized a special video which has been used by TROUM on tour...

ninth desert's "zone" is an invitation to merge into the layers of sound,
extending in a sea of intimate sensations & recycled memories,
opening up a myriad of universes, existing like small vortexes of condensed energy...
-
Cyril Herry fashions sound as clay, exploring interstices, variations of recurrent motifs, echoing a process of permanent elemental mutation...
-
"zone" attempts to freeze the quintessence of an experienced moment, building a sort of shelter... a place of reflection & ultimate contact...
-
Listen to these aural sculptures, apprehend their outlines & inner vibrations, and possibly, you'll get far deeper into the understanding of our surrounding world...
