about

Recording 2 times on a cello of self-similar sounds (using overdubbing) in order to create the raw material of the piece which was purely acoustic. Then, electronics were added to the recorded cellos such as short delays, detunings, time expansion, time compression. Stereo tracks were also slightly desynchronized so that 2 stereo tracks became 4 mono tracks which were then copied and repasted to make 8, etc. The resulting «drone » music is filled with beatings and microtonal harmonies due to slight differences that grew and grew so that the two original cello recordings started to create the illusion of evolving spaces around them due to detuning and dephasing of the sound materials.
