About me: HOPEN -----------------------------------------------------ADVANCED AUDIO NARRATIVES------------------------------------------------------------------------------“I always think about my work as some variations on the same subject, a way to observe, concider and show the human being as an hypothese, a perhaps... Working at the edge of being, on the societal inconscious, and in the moment when it's still possible to invent the world as a mysterious limit...”----------------------------------------------------------------------------------HOPEN is an electro-acoustic project turned towards experimentation using sampling, noises, voices, concrete sounds and loops...
through different foggy and sensitive variations. Many different sources are used to produce an experimental living music.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First influenced by the sounds, daily noises and music experimentation from Zappa, Autechre, Luc Ferrari or The Liars... but also not especially musicians.
A significant part of his inspiration comes from the visual world or the story telling, poetry and living theater from the 70’s to now.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Using architectures of hazard and chance, the idea is to produce sound and to share a different experience of listening…
A giving and demanding music, for your ears and between…------------------------------------------------------------------------------HOPEN already has releases on adozen.org, Arbouse Recordings, Mental Groove Ltd, Mischwald, Plak-Records, Audioactivist, AFE and Kompakt.
