Art Zoyd studios - Expériences de vol

"Art Zoyd Studios" has set itself the task of encouraging the designing and production of new works, distributing them and favouring the development of musical research, notably through devising new creative tools and processes involving state-of-the-art technologies, and beyond that, supporting efforts in making music fully part of the blossoming of digital arts. Art Zoyd Studios strives to make audiences more aware of contemporary musical forms, and carries out actions, notably with local communities, with educational purposes or favouring cultural democratisation.

For several years already we have devised a series of releases entitled "Expériences de vol" ("flight experiences") to ensure the continued availability of works commissioned by our studios, and at the same time devise a kind of unifying thread linking all the pieces together.

The title "Expériences de vol" is borrowed from a series of three pieces I had composed in the 1990s.

These days, we feel that the needs, tools, equipment, skills and habits have changed, at first imperceptibly (early 2000s) then, more recently, in a radical way, although different generations of musicians have perceived this change differently: indeed, many composers still adhere to the "commission, composition, performers" pattern, whereas newer generations are searching for mixed or shared languages, for stage work and new creative spaces.
We believe that the prospects and raison d’être of studios must be constantly questioned, without resting on past experiences or certainties which turn into postulates. Composers are increasingly artists in the broader sense (as in the Renaissance days), with an interest in, not only, obviously, music, its substance, forms and technologies, but also in all possible marriages, hybridisations or associations with other performing and graphic arts, including image and video art, VR (virtual reality) and new media (Internet, 3D sound, VR headsets…)
Whether a craving, a need or simply the product of combined visions, composers, as artists from generations who have either been the product or the architects of a process of constant amalgamation and cross-breeding between practices, are increasingly seeking different, renewed or prototype, knowledge and collaborations. Not because music has given ground to other, "intrusive" or "invasive" art forms, but rather that its place and ranking, whether on concert stages, in theatres or auditoriums, seem to have narrowed in some respects; equally narrow are its powers of self-regeneration in the face of the often too rigid operation of musical institutions, orchestras or ensembles, which are run according to inherited traditions.
There is another observation to be made - that more and more artists, plastic artists, video artists and choreographers are questioning sound itself or the sonic "language" in order to take it over and make it fully part of their work, in a non-disassociated manner, without necessarily understanding (or having a point of view on) the aspect of "music" which, for us, remains a fundamental part of the art of hearing, of organising time and of listening – precisely with regard to the history of this art.
This issue of the place of music also applies to applications in the field of games or "virtual reality" which, in their inception, have often tended to neglect sound and music.
The composer must find his place in these new spaces, which involves questioning technical and artistic aspects of one’s art, and redefining one’s writing and paradigms and, beyond that, addressing the issue of future "new" audiences.

AN EXPERIENCE... UNEXPECTED
At last, we are happy that this vast enterprise is finally released. Basically, it was a challenge: ask to 13 composers around the world to create a piece for Ensemble Musiques Nouvelles - directed by Jean-Paul Dessy (but founded by Henri Pousseur in 1962). From Europe, USA or Japan, try to explore the compositional frame of today's creators, and not only in the well-known 'contemporary scene' but to push further the boundary and discover the unexpected result of some of the greatest names of today's electronic world.

ART ZOYD & ENSEMBLE MUSIQUES NOUVELLES
For the realisation of this big project, many forces were necessary : two regions between two countries - Belgium and France - two ensembles - Musiques Nouvelles (20 musicians) and Art Zoyd (6 musicians) and their high-tech studios - and two years of work. The result is contained in a 3 CD box - 172 minutes of music - and a 40 pages booklet explaining it all.

NEW COMPOSITIONS AND UNPUBLISHED WORK
Opus #1 by RYOJI IKEDA is the first piece that he wrote for non-electronic instruments - and paradoxically, one of his most accomplished work. ATAU TANAKA's composition is for chamber orchestra, theremin and infrared! HORATIO RADULESCU, the founder of the Spectral technique of composition is, for sure, one of the greatest composers alive, this is his last Opus (#64). DAVID SHEA is well-known by his many collaborations with Sub Rosa and Tzadik. JEAN-LUC FAFCHAMPS has just published his second complete cd on Sub Rosa a few months ago. JEAN-PAUL DESSY questions the mermaids' voices and KASPER T. TOEPLITZ organizes a Glenn Branca revival. JEROME COMBIER tries to impulse black light in music. GIOVANNI SOLLIMA mixes baroque chamber orchestra and techno rhythm. GERARD HOURBETTE continues Art Zoyd's expressionist legend. JEAN-CHRISTOPHE FELDHANDLER organizes a space in constant change, at the threshold of its widening. FAUSTO ROMITELLI opposes string quartet and a single mixer (another fragment of his genious, waiting for An index of Metal...). GUALTIERO DAZZI creates a tragic cinematographic space...

13 compositions, 13 unpublished works and 13 ways to combine electronic music and classical instruments. (Sub Rosa)

Art Zoyd – Musique Hors Classe (1981, Live, France)

Recorded in London in 1981 as part of a series of european Rock in Opposition concerts, this marks the experimental French group at their zenith. A challenging live set mixing electronics, avant-garde jazz & baroque classical. Recommended for Magma, Univers Zero and Henry Cow fans, and those who like music that sits outside any form of convention. (Exclusive to Sandpiper Records).
