"Le tombeau d'Edgard Varèse" by Franck Smith on iTunes Store!

In tribute to avant-garde composer Edgard Varèse (1883-1965), this work for percussive devices and electronics presents a long posthumous march w/ dark orchestral colors and crepuscular percussion pulses. A quite mysterious funeral cortège in memory of a true sound-alchemist... (N.B. vinyl sections were made especially for this project, no external sound sources used.) — Original 1-track recording divided in 5 tracks for digital version release.

" (A) wonderful tribute to a musical hero..." (John Zorn, September 18th 2008)

Sleepdrone 5 — by Franck Smith

The "Sleepdrone5" is a four oscillator drone machine. Each oscillator features:
* discrete output - pitch tuning - pitch range selection - volume level - added tweak bus feature - on/off control. [Output of the oscillators are summed together and inter-(ring)modulated  into a fifth "mix out" with master volume control]. N.B. This test uses only the main output.

IF POSSIBLE USE HEADPHONES OR CONNECT YOUR COMPUTER TO A QUITE DECENT SOUND-SYSTEM.
