2012

2012. The main focus is to release Un Voyage au Bout du Possible de l'Homme where the orchestra will be in residency between April 18 to 28 2012 at Mix'Art Myrys with the world premiere in October in Toulouse. The purpose is to resolve difficulties like the musical instrument of 3D winds in permanent fog mixed with acoustic, electric, and electronic musical instrument. The Screaming Women Choir should be a part of the music (the Manual of Screaming Women Choir) with the Artificial Girl Choir texting. Also a string trio (violin, cello, contrabass) which will play a dedicated score Envoûtant d'Amour (In You So Much spellbinding Love) as a part included in time with the trombone quartet playing a dedicated score: (Leur Sexes Tueurs de Trombes) the Whirlwind Players.

Nowadays [2012] the purpose is to try to rebuild a space music lab with the broken devices and the missing devices to produce polyphonic spatial music (i.e. several trajectories of playing musical instrument sounds flying and reacting each other in 3D space). The spatial music works mostly with 3 combined hardware space machines : the SP1 (broken space processor) of Anadi Martel, the Orfeusz 206 of WAF, and the circular Doppler of GRM Tools with the Digidesign 442 connected on an old Macintosh Power PC 8100. Musical instruments to build the orchestra are various like analogue synthesizers (EMS VCS3, Korg Monopoly), MIDI synthesizer (Yamaha TG77), samplers (Roland S750, SP700 and Kontakt 2 which has a surround panner up to 16 outputs), musical object like the Archisonic Lamp, musical instruments from the world (as gong wadon and flute from Bali, harp from Colombia, broken clarinet from Turkey, Chinese violin called erhu, etc.), and invented or transformed musical instruments (arcoguitar, 9 tone electric guitar, pvc sax, etc., and adapted Chinese erhu with wooden stick bow on one string). The music is recorded in a PC computer as multitrack recorder and should be performed with (funny) MIDI controllers and live instruments on 8 loudspeakers setting a cube where the audience would be inside, where sounds are flying through their bodies. Wolrd premiere in September 2012 in Frabresan French Corbières at the Son MiRé festival : Scary Music for the "end of the world" with Henri Demillecamps.

Also:
myster shadow-sky starts a new opera Bellone the Slope of War where the world premiere should be in Den Haag Netherland in 2014.

Also +:
myster shadow-sky write a next piece Bang Bang to be performed in his home town (Toulouse, France) for Choir (32), strings orchestra (12), trombones (7), electric guitar (5), and percussion (3). The ring orchestra will surround the audience with moving acoustic sound in space.

Also:
"After working the choir of artificial girls (made up with female voices for Un Voyage au Bout du Possible de l'Homme), after putting in music the poet Gherassim Luca who died in 1995, especially the poem 'passionnement'. I have an old work still in waiting with my friend who unfortunately died too young, the poet Rob Siciliano based in Toronto. luckily, he made a CD in 1996 called 'Flammable' where his voice is still alive for friends like me. I am in process of restoring that record of 36 poems (in my way of making his voice touchable - not far away) that should be published at centrebombe for free download, like other records. Also I use his voice as a matter for musical compositions that build a set to be performed. A gig with "the bereavement" of Rob voice."
Mathius Shadow-Sky, April 2012.

Also(since 2010 to now):
The Myster Shadow-Sky solo electronic live music performance (with one Korg MonoPoly, a 1982 analogue synthesizer) is still on (go at soundcloud.com/myster-shadow-sky to listen the performance or download the album here). In 2012 the artist Fedaden join Shadow-Sky to gig a duet of 2 analogue Japanese synthesizers.
