A PROPOS DE MIOSINE

Compositeur et sculpteur de son, le travail de Miosine s'étant également vers l'improvisation.

Utilisant l'environnement sonore, il enregistre et manipule des sources acoustiques en direct, et les mêle a des textures numériques et autres glitch. Ainsi à travers une musique délicieusement bruitiste teintée d'électronica, il déssine un voyage accidenté vers un univers surréaliste.

Ici il sera question d'imprévu, de silence, de débordement, de perte de contrôle...
