“Concret-Sens†reviewed by The Sound Projector
In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in the techniques of musique concrète and electro-acoustic composition. A substantial reissue program from Editions Mego and subsequent attention from outside the fields of modern composition has brought particular attention to Groupes Researches de Musicales, Pierre Schaeffer’s influential research organization. Yet, rather than considering the …

“Concret-Sens†reviewed by Revue & Corrigée
Le première des trois pièces qui constituent cet album, intitulée Cillages, est plutôt intéressant avec ses enregistrements de néons, mais le plaisir est tout de même quelque peu atténué par un sentiment de “déjà entenduâ€. Les deux morceaux suivants en revanche, sont beaucoup plus convaincants. Pourquoi? Les compositions s’animent, prennent vie. Emmanuel Mieville nous rend …

El nuevo trabajo del francés Emmanuel Mieville hace referencia al adjetivo francés “Concrescence†usado por el compositor François Bayle para describir y subrayar la substancia concreta de los sonidos su música.

“Concret-Sens†reviewed by Blow Up
Neon, prese elettriche, nastri registrati, field recordings: EM ne cava fuori tre suites. A che pro una musica (musica?) del genere? Forse è un modo per riflettere sulla concretezza e sul senso dei suoni che ci circondano. Sarà , purtroppo a me piace. G. Dal Maso Concret-Sens by Emmanuel Mieville
“Concret-Sens†reviewed by Chain D.L.K.
Named after a combination of French words – the word sens (meaning direction) and the French adjective concrescence that the living legend Francois Bayle, who also coined the term “acousmatic” and inventor of “Acousmonium”, used to describe the concrete substance of sounds and its intrinsic impermanence and ruggedness -, this interesting release by Emmanuel Mieville …

“Concret-Sens†reviewed by Déphasage
The show ended with Emmanuel Mieville and “Concret-Sens†released on Cronica at the end of the last year. This french sound artist is close to the electroacoustic school of the GRM from which he took some teaching. This is not a coincidence if he has chosen this title that is a reference to an adjective …

“Concret-Sens†reviewed by Monsieur Délire
Voici ce que j’ai entendu de plus convaincant à ce jour de la part d’Emmanuel Mieville. Le titre de l’album est un jeu de mot sur la notion de “concrescence†développée par François Bayle pour parler de la substance concrète des sons. Ainsi, Mieville propose trois morceaux où la source sonore est magnifiée dans sa …

“Concret-Sens†reviewed by Essmaa
Emmanuel Mieville présente un concert de sons concrets, soundscapes, field recordings et objet amplifiés. La perception sonore est en effet stimulée par les espaces imaginaires du son, mais les outils informatiques pour jouer et composer sont si puissants qu’il devient nécessaire pour lui de ramener un ancrage d’objets et sons narratifs ou texturés visent la …
