Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Resting in a Fold of the Fog includes two of composer Michael Pisaro-Liu's pieces for percussion, guitar and laptop: "Grounded Cloud" and "Hearing Metal (4)". They are performed by two Dedalus Ensemble members Stephane Garin and Didier Aschour, and by Michael Pisaro-Liu himself. Pieces titles are inspired by a poem (Fog) written by Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, a chinese poet living in New Mexico (USA).

First piece, "Grounded Cloud", depicts the very gradual gathering of fragments of noise and tone into a more or less continuous fabric, like spores that only understand their collective existence when they get close enough to "hear" each other.

The second piece, "Hearing Metal (4)", is an investigation of the metallic resonance of high register bowed glockenspiel: a sound which is extended by means of a "fog" of other sounds, primarily electric guitar and electronics. It shapes the sound into distinct figures, modeled in some way on Brancusi's Birds in Space."-Michael Pisaro-Liu

"After studying the guitar at the CNSM of Paris, Didier Aschour was awarded a prize from the Yehudi Menuhin Foundation and a scholarship from the Darmastadt Ferienkurse für Neue Musik (1992 and 1994). A committed soloist fond of contemporary music, he premieres many works written for him and performs with Ensemble 2e2m, TM+, Aleph, L'Instant Donné, Zellig and Montpellier Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1996, he founded Ensemble DEDALUS, specializing in minimalist music and free instrumentation scores, with which he stands in favour of experimental contemporary music. He plays with Sejiro Murayama, Kristoff K.Roll duett, La Fanfare E. and Kasper T. Toeplitz.

As a composer, he works for dance - with choreographers such as Mathilde Monnier, Germana Civera, Patrice Barthès - and performance, imagining acoustic devices that question the relationship between music and sound phenomena.

Since 2007, he has been taking part in the Montpellier Sonorités Festival collective activities."
