Jérémie Mathes "árset"

French sound handler Jérémie Mathes is nourished by the tonal vibrations of the region he lives in, in south of France.
He has been studying electro acoustic composition, as well as acousmatic and concrete methods with Bruno Dozon, & Patrick Roudier.
Using field recordings, improvisation with found objects, he shows a clear propensity to elaborate organic textures combined with electronic treatments. His compositions are carefully carved in detailed layers with a strong power of evocation...
"árset" is his proper significative debut, and is based on the following materials : sea shells, reef, shore, sand, rumbled, insects, cymbals, candle holder, bass, ebow, horn, various percussions and electronic devices.

Coalescing
into a shapeless lush magma...
Tangled & crackling softly...
Open waters ooze life
enlarging the circle,
swallowing up everything...

Ever shifting, pushing things further
closer to the faraway horizon,
as elusive as a morning breeze
hovering myriads of alluvium...

Low scrapings & shards abound,
amplified waves & ricochetting dreams...

A song from the inner depths,
contourless...impenetrable...
yet with so many refractions...
"árset" unfurls a primal tone
linking past & present...
A taking root for our searching souls...
