" Remanence (n.)
physics
Ability for a material to retain magnetisation, equal to the magnetic flux density of the material after removal of the magnetising field. "
We are surrounded by narrative and contextual ressources that question our relationship with the immaterial.
Pre-existing sounds – film clips, magnetic tapes, home recordings, radio archives – are valuable materials which allow a survey of the collective imagination.
In a gesture of rewriting, relics are formed.
These objects preserve the autonomy of their initial substance, breathing and trembling as if escaping their author.
A remanence is what remains after disappearance, what continues to have a weak but haunting effect.
Récolter, fractionner, assembler - collecting, splitting, assembling - These are the words of Gregory Granados' manifesto.
The designer recovers objects, extracting their fragments to recompose a new form. An approach similar to the artists of this internationalist sound collection.
The cassette tape is a fascinating object and an audio support that we chose to deconstruct and transform into a tangible memory.
A regeneration of matter expressed by the gesture of transposing function into image.

Born from the shores of the mediteranean, Carmentran channels the age-old myths of Provence and showcases the enduring allure of Carnival, a festive and mystical time when identities are transformed.
The long-time friends ventured into the folklore of Murs, a village nestled in the picturesque Luberon region. During a drunken journey , amidst the colorful costumes and exuberant dances, they captured snapshots of this whimsy and communal celebration, an atmosphere morphing into abstraction.
Beyond mere imagery, the EP sought to tale the story of the so-called Carmentran, a wicker man upon which villagers lay their burdens and suffering from the past year.
Its final burning is then interpreted as a collective purification, allowing people to rid themselves of their concerns.
From the still incandescent log, a souvenir can be reconstructed.
It is sometimes possible to feel spiritual entities through the sound spectrum.
There is no singer in the room, but a transmitter playing voices of many beings from different ages.
During this absence, heavily fuzzed guitars, dusty pads and flickering basslines enter into a quietly sharp communication.
Overhead, symphonies of enchantment and distant flutes mingle with the soft murmur of the wind.
We remember the boy who jumped over the flames
We reminisce the disguises and rituals
We recall the copper horn singing with the drums

Tasalul is a collection of 14 one-shot recordings heavily sampled and processed through different methods to create a variety of soundtracks. The pieces range from calm to aggressive, emphasizing on texture, repetition, and decay.
Tasalul, or the act of infiltration: a sonic mission of breaking into prohibited mental/physical zones imposed on us, in pursuit of a vision to overcome the state of siege.
