Murmur Metal - Maelström (2021) Hi Res

A protean project created in 2010 after finding raw material in a dumpster of a small metal factory in the Vallée du bout du Monde in Thiers.

David Bausseron’s metal instrumentarium already consisted of a few thin strips and slats of mechanical brush found in the street, halogen lamp bases with an astonishing resonance.

Several forms have emerged over the years, from installation and interactive street performances to the most noisy electroacoustic concerts.

Sound actions where the stunt body throws itself into reptative acoustic crossings or amplified tributes to broken faces.

Acoustics, spaces, surfaces, performance, scenography, gesture, minimalism, gigantism, clutter, purity, electroacoustics, improvisation, composition, solo.

This record, “Maelström” is a selection of recordings and the result of ten years of experimentation with metal objects. It brings together two aspects of the guitarist’s work on metal materials: acoustic and electroacoustic.
