Des Bruits

Welcome to Des Bruits.

This page is an eclectic collection of works, some part concrète, some pure synth, some a mix of synth and/or concrète and/or instrumental ... some may even contain voices...

So, as I said on the Home page:
Some of these works are true musique concrète; some are a mix of concrète and synth; some are a mix of found sound, instrument and synth; some are pure synth; some are other mixtures...

Check out the tracks below and see if something inspires you.

• Deeptalk
  Developed while experimenting with "voices" in Cubase 5.
  Some funkiness.

• The Frisco Ride (2010)
  Trains are a recuring theme in musique concrète, right back tho the very first concrète work, Étude aux chemins de fer (Study of trains) created by Pierre Schaeffeur in 1948.
  Here's a little thing I put together in 2010 to celebrate the 73rd birthday of musician friend Rocky Frisco.
  It's a mix of concrète and synth.

  Takes its name from a location in one of the earliest computer games, Adventure by Will Crowther (also known as Adventure).
  This is pretty much pure synth.

• Mystic Ducks 2
  got its name from some duck-like sounds I was getting from a Prologue synth in Cubase5.  When I got to making the second piece in the series, some rather croaky antipodeans seemed to have muscled-in on the act.
  This is pure synth.

• Mystic Ducks 1
  got its name from some duck-like sounds I was getting from a Prologue synth in Cubase5.  This is the first of those compositions.  Fairly minimalist synth stuff...
  This is pure synth.
