In retrospection, it seems significant that
Reinhold Friedl
and
Eryck Abecassis
met for the first time in Marseille, a brute and operatic melting pot of cultures and sounds and noises. They idea of a common project came up, but it took almost ten years to be realized. Finally,
François Bonnet
(GRM artistic director) supported enthusiastically the collaboration and invited the two composer-performer to the Akousma Festival 2019 at Radio France in Paris. Intense rehearsal periods in Vienna and at la muse en circuit in Paris defined the compositional directions: precise transitions between accurately defined musical states: the raw furious energy textures of "animal électrique 1" and "5", the contrasted calm with shaking fog horns "à la
Lucier
" of "animal électrique 3" and "6", noise and notes in the astonishing fusion of "animal électrique 2" (which could also be titled "Tsunami and minor thirds"), and finally the delicate non-tempered vocality of both piano and synthesizer in "animal électrique 4", a detuned operatic aria.
Animal Électrique
is a melting point of piano and synthesizer, both put into musical travesty: the piano becomes a sound and noise machine, with strong electronic influence; the analog synthesizer starts to sing and to hoot, producing raw and brutal instrument-like sounds, in line with brute electronic synthesis. This allows Eryck Abecassis and Reinhold Friedl to combine the exigence of composing with the instant pleasures of the game. Personnel: Reinhold Friedl - piano; Eryck Abecassis - analog synthesizer. Recorded by
Grégory Joubert
at Studio Luc Ferrari, La Muse en Circuit, CNCM, Paris, France, June 2019. Mixed by Eryck Abecassis. Mastered by
Russell Haswell
. Cut by
Andreas Kauffelt
at Schnitstelle, Berlin.
