Nightfall was created at the Jentel Artist Residency outside Banner, WY in February 2010. Based upon a simple field recording of the start of a snowfall at dusk…

The composition explores the shifting point between day and night in the dry and overcast winter month. The original recording begins with the dry, empty silence of the landscape, slowly enveloped by the piling of snow upon the microphone’s windscreen.

Each copy of Nightfall is accompanied by a unique watercolor based on the cover photograph of the landscape taken at dusk through the studio window.

Thanks: Robert Crouch, The Jentel Artis Residency & all my fellow Residents. – Yann

Listening Mirror – That Gum You Like Is Going To Come Back In Style
There’s no real rhyme or reason behind the selections in this mix. They are all tracks I love, by artists I have great respect for. Some, like Tonto’s Expanding Head Band, opened my eyes to electronic music when I was a teenager in the early 70′s, and I still have my original copies of their [...]

They never adopted the name for themselves
My photography is based on the idea that reality is an ambivalent structure, a mental frontier between things. An undefined border separating concrete and elusive fields, materiality and the invisible. It’s also a way to describe in a poetical way, our soul’s inner struggle between peace and animality, between light and darkness. – Stéphane C [...]
