about

Live in Paris is the culmination of several field recordings made over the past three years for site-specific installations, works for CD, as well as unrealized projects, and is an attempt to find a new life for the recordings through improvised performances. Heard outside of their original context, typically as parts of concentrated investigations into empty spaces, the recordings are allowed to move freely around the listener’s imagination, inventing new associations, and venturing into more lyrical and poetic territory than I normally explore. This is particularly evident in the addition of a voice, a rare instance for me, but an effort to contrast my fascination for empty spaces with a space of complex human drama: a timeless and placeless bar described through an ingeniously woven story by Lance Olsen.

Live in Paris stands on its own as a unique work, exploring the source material in ways that surprised even myself, and is a fitting encapsulation and re-envisioning of the recordings as I move on to my next subject matter.

Included with this release are two photographs made during my tour which are being made available in ready-to-use wallpaper sizes.

Bokeh
by Wil Bolton

supported by 5 fans who also own “Live in Paris”

In Bokeh, Wil Bolton patiently crafted six tracks, where processed field recordings and reverberated synthesizers melodies are carefully balanced. Chimes, bar-like talks, distant traffic or whispers from the wind frame the story of this release in a very small location. We are only one step away from saying that the artist takes us in his privacy with Bokeh ; and I'll go for it. Very personal and sensitive, this album takes place behind the closed doors of Bolton's near environment. Lovely. Dotflac

Light
by Chronovalve

supported by 5 fans who also own “Live in Paris”

There is a lot of light in this record, it conjures up the beach for me, so much so, that I kept expecting to hear Chris Rea's guitar intro from his On The Beach track cut in. I like this record, it is a happy experience, but I did think the children's voices were a bit overdone in places. This is a record that I can see myself returning to it over and over. Anthony Davies
