40 copies cdr limited edition.
Pieces for 12 tape recorder, 4 sticks and 1 audio K7.
It's a sound work from the "puff", the motors and the defects of each tape recorders, amplified by the sticks. The recording is made on a K7, and the piece is composed directly with the button "pause". Not really improvised, but not so composed; a rustic project which cannot be played as a concert.

Note: this album will be in edition of 70 copies.

Bio:
Descendant of a sawers long family, Mathias is definitly roannais (from Roanne, France). It is thanks to an upright piano and a cap he began by some semblances of Thelonious Monk imitations, to finally go and lost himself with joy in free improvisation he pratctices regularly with Cyril Epinat (DUO…), ISHTAR collective (Masal Caldi), Emilie Borgo (Skratroum), Xavier Saïki (Sapiens), Olivier Toulemonde and Christine Sehnaoui (CMO); and irregularly with anyone wants to.

     He plays the trombone and the radios, prepares the piano (always upright), but doesn’t fail to perform with dancers, painters, poets and skaters, or to have fun with some sound massages aid of a device built with some parts of the trombone. He still likes composing or arranging when he’s allowed to or when someone asks him to (cf : La Baskour, Quatuor MONK, Quatuor PLI, and others one-off projects) and wanders with pleasure in streets and public places with Les Arcandiers or the Cie Jeanne Simone.

     He believes to authenticity, archaic abstraction and small things.

     He was lucky of meeting ARFI, Li Ping Ting, Heddy Boubaker, Axel Dörner, David Chiesa, Luca Venitucci, Birgit Ulher, Dennis McNulty,… and had the honnor to let himself  influenced by Jean Cohen, Sebastien Coste, Etienne Roche, the ISHTAR collective, the Kafé Myzik and his brother. That is with his three friends from Roanne he tries to buckle a buckle organizing couple of events about improvisation in the roannaise country (MICRO, Musique Improvisée en Côte Roannaise).
