about

We recorded this Lento (slowly) on Sunday January 17th 2021, at La Générale Nord-Est in the fourteenth arrondissement of Paris, inside « Défaillance Systémique » (‘Systemic Failure’) an installation—“a merry-go-round, a theatre of forms activated by motors in a process of composition and decomposition”—created and set up there by French visual artist Anaïs Gauthier.

Caught inside fields woven from an endlessly permuting series of wavering electro-notes and -lines, Cathy Heyden’s saxophone follows the looping trajectory of three amorphous, wet and dripping objects—points—sculpted by Anaïs, sometimes with hesitation, at others with indignation, sometimes with joy, at others with anger, caught inside the rigid and merciless grid of a small, closed world, sufficient unto itself.

“There is no meaning, no salvation, no way in, no way out. It was Fano’s plane, and we stuck to Fano’s plan.”

Rébus & Har$—Harold Schellinx and Emmanuel Rébus—have been collaborating in various guises (Commando Anti-Bruit, Ana-R, DIKTAT, unPublic …) for near to twenty years and are well on their way to become the Lennon/McCartney of this 21st century’s speculative non-academic electroacoustic music. They performed at experimental music festivals in Europe, the United Staes, Asia and elsewhere, and presented their research on freely improvised non-academic electroacoustic music at international academic conferences on music and media art history.

Cathy Heyden's organic treatment of the saxophone timbres, textures & materials play a predominant role. A self-taught improviser, she likes to cross genres, and a strong commitment to corporal engagement provides a natural link of her music to the world of performance. Cathy is a central force within the Parisian free improvisation community and over the years has performed internationally in many different settings, collaborating among many others with Claude Parle, Erik Minkinnen, Howie Reeve, Allochtone, Rogier Smal, Thierry Müller, Jacques Berrocal and German Krautrock legends Faust.
