Music - Exomène : Soundsmith and Digital Apothecary

Sacraments

2012-12-12 12:12:12

I just realized I wrote a new piece of music every time I faced a situation that required a public ritual.

There's no reason to keep them for me, so please, help yourself. I'll update this set the next time something happens ;)

Exomène / Wehwalt

2012-10-02 14:00:00

Wehwalt and Exomène released a split album at Otorragie

Confronting our ideas and sensibilities gave this very particular record. Our dark noises shaped ritualistic and post-apocalyptic music. Starting from the very end of it all, we travelled back in time to what caused the apocalypse.

Enough talking, start listening.

Objective tinnitus

There is no concept, idea, will or anything underlying Objective tinnitus. What you hear in this set is just pure, one take, unmastered recordings of what I have in mind.

Spoken worms

2012-07-21 21:49:00

Spoken worms is the result of an artistic encounter between the picture slayer Dorianne Wotton, the soundsmith Exomène and the word charmer Marianne Essentialités.

I can't explain each track as I did for my own projects, but I can describe the way we work. Each of us start a new track one at a time giving his idea in his own medium. Then the two others work on the future track. Then we meet again to mix up all our ideas in a coherent piece. But the core of the project is making doom and industrial audiovisual poetry.

Stay tuned, this project is not over and we plan to add new tracks on a regular basis.

Æsthetic of distress

2011-12-30 16:01:57

Æsthetic of distress is my third set/album/opus (choose the word that suits you).

The æsthetic of distress is just another word for the æsthetic of desolation which is still what defines my musical approach. This time, I really decided to get rid of my own preconceptions about music: what should be the length, rythm, structure of a track.

The result of my musical quest for the æsthetic of desolation is a darker sound I find, and more versatility in the styles too. Maybe some of the tracks will sound familiar to you because they were studies for spoken worms

Bedtime stories

2011-07-17 18:18:12

Bedtime stories is my second opus.

There I decided to explore the world of dreams, resulting in a darker sound inspired by doom metal, sludge and drone but not forgetting my ambient, progressive and industrial influences. Actually, I worked to define a particular sound to complete the atmospheres developed previously. I also wanted to use more real instruments in order to play live more easily (as soon as I found a band).

Dusk to dawn

2011-07-16 01:27:12

Dusk to dawn is the first demo by Exomène.

This set is the musical transcription of a story about the arbitrary, maybe you can see it as a cheap version of the trial by Kafka. I tried to render into music the feelings of a man faced with the arbitrary.
