Afincado en la ciudad de París, Emmanuelle Mieville es un artista sonoro que trabaja en el ámbito de las field recordings que posteriormente mezcla y transforma hasta convertirlas en obras electroacústicas donde se explora la geografía del lugar. Así, en Juryo nos traslada a lugares remotos y sagrados. Desde el Monasterio Copan en el Tibet, […]

Après un Ethers de bonne facture, paru chez le non moins excellent label Baskaru, Emmanuel Mieville nous revient cette fois chez Cronica, autre structure d’excellence en ce qui concerne les musiques électroniques expérimentales. Mieville poursuit ici son exploration du monde à travers sa musique et les sons qu’il a pu collecter. Avec cet album c’est […]

Parisian composer Emmanuel Mieville has shown up here in the past with Four Wanderings in Tropical Lands (field recordings), Concret-Sens (a tribute to classical musique concrète) and Ethers (electronic drone music). On Juryo (CRÓNICA 126-2017), the plan is to explore a Buddhist text called the Lotus Sutra, and he uses this text’s “inspiration cycles” as […]

The connections between the radio-drama and the experimental music should be an object of study. Some mature reader may remember the strong relationship between these fields, especially during this age where the offline fetishism re-activates forgotten or obsolete formats. The Paris composer Emmanuel Mielville studied sound engineering in a cinema school and later learned the […]

Destrutturazione sintetica e materiali concreti, stratificati o ad incastro forzato. Nel classico stile della label portoghese, field recordings (belli e molto quelli raccolti in Asia) e manipolazione digitale. L’effetto, è una coltre sfocata e sfrigolante a ricoprir passaggi di materia viva che accendono più di un’immagine in fondo alla scatola cranica. Elettroacustica evocativa e tumefatta […]

The title of the latest album by the super-prolific experimental composer and student of film and musique concrete, Emmanuel Mieville, comes from the Japanese translation of the Sanskrit word and alludes to a chapter of the Lotus Sutra, a renowned text from Māhāyana Buddhism. Apparently. It’s hardly my field of expertise. And so the inevitable […]

Here’s a sombrely presented CD (pro-pressed and printed) on Crónica. The imagery, and explanatory notes on the back cover, suggested to me that Juryo: Durée de la Vie de L’ainsi​-​venu koxx might be an album dominated by field recording, and whilst it very much is, in one sense, sonically it’s really quite different. The album […]

De Franse componist Emmanuel Mieville studeerde geluidstechniek bij een filmopleiding en musique concrète bij de beroemde Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM). Verder verdiepte hij zich in noet-Westerse instrumenten en speelde hij in een (Frans) gamelan-orkest. Die verschillende leerscholen klonken door in zijn uitgaven die in de afgelopen ruime tien jaar her en der verschenen. Bijvoorbeeld […]

GRM Absolvent Emmanuel Mieville betätigt sich auf “Juryo” als Veranstalter und Leiter einer akustischen Rundreise durch Asien — und liefert als Bonus eine Verbeugung vor Antonin Artauds Buch “Héliogabale, Ou, L’Anarchiste Couronné” ab. Diese eröffnet “Juryo” mit zittrigen Klängen aus dem Ringmodulator. Die Harmonien stehen kurz vor dem Zusammenbruch und man muss nicht allzu genau […]
