sndsukinspook

Bio:

When the need for technology is rampant, the choice of tools is vast. sndsukinspook plays the landscape and the urban environment alike – metal bridges and wooden floors, wisps of water clapotis and wind pipes… It started with rattling the railings and the next thing you know you are drumming public benches. An offence well worth the penalty of eternal silence. Confined in the motifs of muffled footsteps and veiled hushes. absence of thoughts. field recordings of emptiness. architecture of sound sculptures. to reveal the harmonic imprints of sacred spaces. for all of those corruptly filed in the forgotten folds of consumed phat. Lurking in the dark spaces of acous-mania, sndsukinspook forges vibrations, sculpts the harmonies that will rattle the nerves of academia. Some people scream. Some bleed to death. Disruption is everywhere. In the safe place of the sitting room, in the near inane, in the religious amnesia, in the lull of beta sofa and tv procurantism.
Economia verbalis.
Hypocritia interestus.
Rationalitat Maladicus.
Frémir le silence. Every wall has a crack. Find the wave length.

sndsukinspook
performs spontaneous compositions with a laptop, using processed field recordings. His work has been informed by practices such as electro-acoustic and contemporary music, experimental electronics, free improvisation, immersive sound art. His research approaches sound as vibration in relation to space and the body, phenomenology. He has developed a very personal way to process and sculpt recordings to reveal their musical features and maximise resonance with the listener and their experience of sound.

sndsukinspook started making noise with a guitar in the punk years and is now exploring the extended techniques and physicality of the soprano saxophone. His digital work spans sound design, sound recording and editing, post-production, mastering and composition, sound art and installation as well as performance which remains his main focus.

Greatly interested in collaboration, sndsukinspook has played with musicians and dancers whose practice is immersed in free improvisation, closely working with mick beck (sax, bassoon), martin archer (winds, violin, electronics), anders cox (double bass) neil carver (guitar, objects and toys), charlie collins (vibraphone, drums and percussions) etc. in the uk and also heddy boubaker (alto and bass sax), sebastien cirotteau (trumpet, electronics), rémi brassié (guitar), david lataillade (guitar), cia barbet (dance), vincent cazeneuse (soprano and barytone sax), guy bayssac (drums), henri herteman (piano, trombone) etc. in france.
He actively took part in the creation of the Sonofages collective who organise a yearly festival based in Toulouse.

Autodidacte renforcé, formé par le punk et la poésie, Hervé s'investit tout d'abord dans la guitare car une batterie ne rentrera pas dans sa chambre d'HLM. Très vite, c'est l'amour du son et de l'écoute qui va prendre le dessus et s'il maltraite sa guitare, c'est avec un grand amour qu'il la fait vibrer. Experimentations en groupe marquent ses années d'université puis Hervé part vivre en Angleterre. C'est là qu'il fait l'acquisition la plus utile : il développe alors une relation au quatre pistes, improvise avec lui-meme en strates de divers instruments, renforce sa pratique de la composition, du mixage et surtout joue de tout objet qui enrichira ses collages sonores. Et c'est quand il pose la guitare au sol qu'il trouve enfin sa position dans le monde de la musique. Il ne chante plus, parle peu, n'harmonise plus par ecartèlement de doigts et comprends bien que rythme n'a rien a voir avec le balancement régulier de sa tignasse. D'ailleurs, il la rase et du coup tout regard sur l'instrument en est plus clair. C'est du souffle et de la caresse qui exprime la relation, le mouvement, et la seule note qui soit est celle de la pince crocodile. Ici, le son se rapproche plus de ce qu'il entend, de ses compositions sur ordinateur, basées sur les sons qui l'entourent, pris sur le vif. L'instrument n'est plus que pré-texte sonore, objet résonnant. Hervé travaille actuellement sur ordinateur ses prises de sons, sculpte le bruit du vent et de l'eau qu'il incorpore en improvisation libre. Parfois son laptop fait la gueule car il s'occupe beaucoup de son nouveau saxophone soprano.
