Spectres & Neons

by Alain Wergifosse

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The audio material contained in this album is made of hundreds of fragments recorded between 1991 and 2022, some recorded live, others in studio or recorded from my RESONANT SPACE installations, combined and mixed in remembrance of many spectral neon nights.

    The CD version of the album includes a 20 pages booklet featuring images which are part of the SPECTRES & NEONS series of long exposure photos of urban lights taken in motion, subtly modulated by the 50hz/60hz of the electric grid.

    In this bandcamp version of the album (featuring 2 extra sonic pieces at the end of the album), each track has its own image (from the same series; some different than for the CD booklet selection); each image is autonomous and so is each sound piece.

    The SPECTRES & NEONS photographs (square format of the size of a 33rpm album cover) are proposed in exhibitions around the world. They are a photographic version of the series RETINAL MUSIC of silent cinematic visual pieces where lights in motion acts like the needle of a record player sending to the brain imaginary sound sensations, thanks to some synesthetic imagination, in total silence.

    Le matériel audio contenu dans cet album est composé de centaines de fragments enregistrés entre 1991 et 2022, certains enregistrés en direct, d'autres en studio ou enregistrés à partir de mes installations RESONANT SPACE, combinés et mixés en souvenir de nombreuses "spectral neon nights".

    La version CD de l'album comprend un livret de 20 pages contenant des images faisant partie de la série SPECTRES & NÉONS, photos à longue durée d'exposition aux lumières urbaines, prises en mouvement, subtilement modulées par les 50hz/60hz du réseau électrique.

    Dans cette version bandcamp de l'album (avec 2 morceaux sonores supplémentaires à la fin de l'album), chaque piste a sa propre image (de la même série; certaines différentes de celles de la sélection du livret de CD); chaque image est autonome et chaque pièce sonore l'est aussi.

    Les photographies SPECTRES & NÉONS (format carré de la taille d'une pochette d'album 33 tours) sont proposées dans des expositions à travers le monde. Il s'agit d'une version photographique de la série RETINAL MUSIC, pièces visuelles cinématographiques silencieuses où les lumières en mouvement agissent comme l'aiguille d'un tourne-disque, envoyant au cerveau des sensations sonores imaginaires, grâce à une imagination synesthésique, dans un silence total.
