  • Frame
    2 juin 1999, par erikm

    ERIK M
    I don’t usually quote press releases, but I read this after I wrote the above, to which it adds some balance and mystification. “Frame is the result of a work that originates in the audio CD medium itself : ‘Anomalie numérique et du support lui-même’ (‘Digital anomaly and anomaly of the medium itself’) ; it was produced within the specific frame of hijacking the CDs from the Metamkine “Cinéma pour l’oreille” serie

  • Variations Opportunistes
    8 mai 2007, par erikm

    eRikm
    Created entirely by looping small snippets of CDs and then treating them in the studio, the newest album from eRikm makes for a surprisingly atmospheric listen. "Correlation I" begins with the expected glitch effects, but as the five-second fragment (taken from a composition by Jean-Philippe Rameau) is looped back on itself at different pitches and drawn out by sustain, it takes on an ethereal character, less like damaged playback equipment than intentional ambience.>>>

    eRikm LUX PAYLLETTES
    With this piece, I have been working with the sound material of Western cinema, after its multiple supports : optical film sound, video tapes, dvd and also with sounds that I recorded in cinemas during projections.
    Originally, my interest in this « process-handling » is the very relation to listening to the motion picture sounds, its clichés, tensions, loosening, sound effects, and the emotional palettes coming out. In the meantime, Lux echoes a reflexion about the (…)

  • Transfall

    eRikm Transfall
    Transfall is composed of six pieces that were all made on commission either for compilations of various labels, dance choreographies or instrumental ensemble.
    Except for Austral, these pieces share a method of composition as well as the instrumentation. My wish to collect these pieces on the same album allows the listener to hear my compositional work in the field of musique concrète, both mixed and electroacoustic. The time spent on the composition of some of these (…)

    Doubse Hystérie 6 tracks : CD edition
    At the inception of this commissioned work offered to me by "Intermèdes Géographiques" in 2011, I was looking for a meaning and a relationship between my work as a composer and the specific constraints of this project. I selected six pieces from the nine initial ones in order to adapt to the CD format and to a home listening.

  • Steme
    21 mars 2008, par erikm

    eRikm
    2003 / Prod.2008
    eRikm’s remarkable compositional work Stème originates from deliberately damaged CDs of 1-minute works deconstructed and manipulated in real time. "Between his reputation as swift shifting improviser, concréte composer and turntable deconstructionist, Marseilles based artist eRikm has earned himself an enviable position in the European music community. With Stéme, his most ambitious and fully realised compositional work to date, he devolves and recontextualises the (…)

    VITAL WEEKLY / N°1000 / Week 39 ERIKM - L’ART DE LA FUITE (LP by Sonoris) Over the years there have been reviews of the work of erikM, as he likes to spell out his name, sometimes solo, but by my own estimation more in collaboration with other people.

    eRikm
    He lives in the South of France, he used to be a visual artist, and he started his musical carrier as a rock guitarist. He wrote dance music, according to Mathilde Monnier, a well-known dance chorographer. His latest release ‘sixperiodes’ has been published by Sirr records, a lable well known for experimental music. His name is eRikm. And I, I just listened to this record, true to its name consisting of six pieces, or ‘periodes’. Just to get started, the only musical instrument I (…)
