Théorème de point fixe (new discographic work) — by Franck Smith

OUT NOVEMBER 2009

Influenced by algebric topology and scientific concepts on abstract spaces, this work for pure electronic drives the composer/soloist into a metaphoric piece around the ''fixed point theorems'' of Solomon Lefschetz, Bonislaw Knaster and Alfred Tarski... An amazing mental piece in 37 parts dedicated to Japanese sound artist and experimental composer Ryoji Ikeda.

Cartoon cuts — by Franck Smith

Released 2004

Short structures, (multi)-speed modulations and sonic crash-testing dedicated to cartoon music. A set of orgiastic and bizarre pieces using zapping, cut-ups and collage techniques. 39 bombtracks between punk-hardcore and neo-metal collapsing. Does sophistication belong to (in?) noise-(music)?
