Disektor, ntaya weld Meknes, kberti fdak lmdina lmenssia, madinat al awbach wesst wahed taba9a dial lfenana li kano limitless.


En fait mamnssyach Meknas, nassynha nass li berra lmdina, walakine hia rah medrassa, soit d chari3 soit folkloric soit li bghiti, nass dialha manassynhach w hia wahed lmdina li fiha les arts urbains qui sont très développé w fiha wahed les communautés sghar w kayen le sens de partage. Ana jay men la scène dial métal w I had teachers. Fin ma kenti : zn9a, 9hwa… kayen nass li ki jbd lguitare, ki 3lmk two three technics, kat bda t3lm music theory, kat ktachef l'expérimental w mn b3d kat 7el 3inik 3la music électronique…. w dakchi wakha kan m7dod b dakchi li ki wsslna b 5DH dial cyber f Myspace it was enough bach tbni strong foundation 3la l’mossi9a w les arts urbains en général.

T9dr tfeker ina periode f7yatek inspiratek bzaf w khelatek tweli l insane li nta daba ?

Une période…. 2008, 2009… En fait, mn teenager age, knt solo artist en tant que guitariste kan l3eb lmetal, jerebt nl3b f band, ça n'a pas marché w rj3t l solo artist instrumental. W m3a j’ai du être solo band mn ch7al hada (kan l3b mainly guitare w chwia piano) kan khassni nt3lm l drum programming. Hada hoa awel contact diali m3a la production assistée par ordinateur (DAW). 

A l’époque kan Reaper, wahed dinasor li liouma ba9i kayen w zwin 7itach open source w fabor, w ba9i fabor, w fih des contributeurs....  c'était le choix le plus facile w idan temak ktacheft 3alam l MIDI, Drum Programming w 3alam Synths. Makayench hir des instruments li ki tle3bo mécaniquement (mekanikiat ljism)  wlkn 7ta des instruments synthétique *aka synths* w mn temak kan le premier contact diali w bdat l'expérimentation. 


Kifach t3arefti m3a Electronic musique w plus spécifiquement IDM w l’glitch ?


Gateway diali kan The Algorithm. Hoa wahed lfranssaoui, Remi, li aslane kan bedroom producer f 2008/2009 kan ki khelet musique électronique w metal dakchi fih chwia dial synthwave un peu agressif. Aswat li kan ki ste3mel kano ki 3ejboni w temak kat l3eb la curiosité du répertoire, chi ki jdeb chi, mn b3d kat zid tkeber les references. Aussi kant 3ndi une base dial Psychedelic Rock donc dakchi li khelani n9eleb fles musiques electroniques… 

A coté vite fait katl9a rassek dkhalti f Warp Records au bout de quelques mois  w kat ktachef  les grands classiques dial la musique Électronique. Mli 3rft Warp glt ” WTF had nass ach ki diro, hadchi m9aaawed”. It was mindblowing, w skent f Warp bzaf…,  w mli wsselt l’Autechre safi, t7elat lbab dial l’experimental w dezt men jiha lokhra . Surtout had le Duo 3endo une grande influence 3la Disektor 7itach dakchi kan waw… mossi9a dial lmossta9bal w fnefss lwe9t familiar w wahed tekhlita, li vraiment ma3reftch kifach n3eber 3la l i7ssass li ki 3tini had le duo. T9dr tkon hir pattern sghira w tellement bien faite que it stays with you, b7al douk sticky melodies dial pop, ama khassek tkon open l'expérimental. 3endhom un sound design très poussé. Houma saraha li inspirawni nbda nkhdem b MAX MSP w les techniques dial Sound Design bach ncombiner le coding m3a sound design with my own patches and devices.


Kan chofo les experimentations visuels w sonores dialek, chno kat 3tik/tzidek had l’approche expérimentale f 7yatek l yawmya ?

9bel man dekhlo f l’approche expérimentale, de base, ana wahed l insane الإنسان  li très curieux. Hadchi 3lach kemelt carrière diali f software engeneering, I am always curious about how stuff work,I am always watching machines at work, data flows, physics, informatique, flow of data en general dans le sens dial ze3ma des machines li ki comminikiw with each other w 7ta, daba l7araka dial un object 3endo vectors, velocity w 7ta hadchi its a flow of data. Donc mn dima w 3ndi wahed la vision du monde li chwia haka, with numbers w fiha l’experimentation. Mli kan chof chi phénomène li ki 3jbni kan jereb n 3awed nssawbo, que se soit avec ma propre compréhension du monde ola académiquement. 7itach l fondamental behind this hoa the Maths, w ila fhemti lmath li wra hadchi w 3ndk enough intuition, ay sound, phenomène wla mécanisme t9dr t3awdo w t expérimenté fih 7itach dima tu pousses beyond.


Chno kenti kat khayel mli gadditi Aetherial Pulses ? Mnin jatek lfikra ??

Ila bghiti nhder 3la l’intention dial l’EP, en fait ki traiter b une coalition mabin 3alam digital w 3alam tabi3i. Aetherial Pulses houma b7al signals wla pulses li kharjin mn l’Ether, li hia b7al wahed la dimension li t9dr tkhl9 fiha li bghiti, 7itach fiha kolchi at the same time and nothing at the same time. Hadi hia l’inspiration de base w L’EP mchat bhad la direction. Bien sûr kayen des éléments futuristic, walakin kayen bezaf dial la base li organic. W mli kan gol une base organic machi b7al field recording, ze3ma nmchi nakhod aswat mn tabi3a. No, wakha kayen hadchi, mli kangol organic, kan 3ni revenir a la base li hia sine wave. 7itach sine waves houma  plusieurs ondes li kaynin f tabi3a w ana je les ai synthétiser dans l’objectif de recréer la nature b une vision li hia synthétique et digital. Hadchi 3lach ila l’auditeur sme3 l sound design, i 9dr i l9a elements li chibh organic i 9edro i fekrok b chi l3ibat slimy, chta, l’ma, l3afia… walakin en fait ga3 had les éléments li 3ndhom “un timbre organique” houma synthétisés. I don’t talk with words, I am more into abstract expressionism. I like to keep the window open l interpretations.

All the tracks they are making a story w ila jina nchofo tracklist :

1. REFLECTIONS mli kan hedro 3la reflection darori kan hedro 3la lwave, 7ta l image f un miroir c une reflexion dial wahed l wave. Bdit bhad track f’l’album bach ndkhel blfikra bli makan3rfoch la source, wasselna wahed l echo.. wahed la reflection.. men wahed l9ent.

W nta mn wahed jiha abstract in your mind, when you reflect on something hoa anaho u know bli kayna a source out there wlkn you are just echoing the idea in your mind.

2. AETHERIAL PULSES Once you reflect on the wave, wla had lpulse, katl9a bli ana it is the Aetherial pulse. B7ala l9iti l’origine dial l’matter li triggrak li hia the reflection wla the idea.... Darori kayna un recepteur w une source. Donc Aetherial pulses jayin mn etheral space where everything and nothing exist at the same time....

3. LUSH DEVIATION At some point lpulses deviates w b7ala kayen chi feedback loop li ntaya men l idee principale w b7ala kayna a lush deviation. 7itach chefti mn wahed l narrow window bli la source katgolik something else li machi dakchi li nta 3ndk ka m3louma in the first place donc kanweliw f une situation dial lush deviation.

5. EMERGENCE IN MOTION Une fois que kan kon f une sitation li kan khrej mn la trajectoir diali, kan dekhl lwahed lmotion, Had la deviation li khrej menha lmotion awla movement ay khel9 lina dakchi li kena kan 9elbo 3liha men lowel : WAVES.

6. WAVES had track bach t assimiler la reflection la source ka etherial pulse, la deviation wl motion li ki siftna lwaves.

Kan dir bzaf dial sound design sessions fin makatkonch 3ndi intention bach n exprimer mais ila knt kan khdem un album wla un ep, process ki kon different. deja kan bda ble textes ka guideline w storytelling and then, puisque i keep this in front of me f desk, ma kan khrejch mn l’idee principale w le reste it’s the flow.


Mli kat dir mzika w kat dkhel fl flow wach kat7ass bchi sort of devine message wla its more internal processing ?

Wa hoa ila jiti tchouf, rah it’s a mix of both. 7naya kamlin 3ndna u can call it divine message wla root cause li f lcore belief dial kola wahed. had l’core belief its a space where you can flow information in and out and that way you can project it f mzika. Mli kat dkhl fl flow d’expression, the highest form katjini hia mli katkon in tune m3a inner w outer idea w philosophies w afkar w projections, once they are all in harmony, you are flowing and projecting it f your music. Deepest tracks li gaddit gaddithom bhad state. Kifma kay tssema rah its human experience w hadchi li kayen.


T9dr tfesserlina chnahoa Creative Coding ?

Anakhdo un Exemple : Ableton 

Ableton 3ndk f7al FL wla Logic, c’est un DAW li kat9dr tcompose wla tssejel mzika mzika w t7ekem 3la des instruments MIDI w tzid des effets, Plugins, w 3endk MAXMSP li t9dr tdir bih creative coding.

En fait creative coding c’est une couche de plus li kat khelik tbedel DAW wkifach ki t3amel w tu peux faire vraiment nimporte quoi b7al te9el daw ldarajat i weli granular synthetiser... 
ya3ni, creative coding tari9a bach tkon creative around the tools li 3ndk. W hadchi ki t applica machi hir l mzika wlkn 7ta 3la l’visuel. Daba ngolo bghiti tdir video reactive. Atl9a kayenin 2 dial l 2anwa3 dial nass, kayen lowel li ay dirlk montage, 9t3, lesse9, synchronise m3a lbeat, classic way w time consuming. Alors que ila kan creative coder, li categorie 2, ayched footages, ay slicehom, ay extracte key moments mn lbeat w dak sa3a atl9a a way bach transcodelvideo bach tweli audio reactive, awla carrement t9dr from Noise ...... alors mn afdal les signaux li 3endi hoa Noise 7itach il contient tout les signaux ... all at once. 7itach all sounds that can exist ever are contained f noise, donc soit its just a matter of extracting data li bghiti, w t9dr tsynthetisé meno ay 7aja bghiti. Biensur avec des combinaisons..... 7itach fih kolchi donc ila manipulitih chirurgicalement, t9dr tkherej meno ay 7aja bghiti, w same f l’image. 


wach kat inspira mn les avancées technologies aka A.I, Neuralink .... ?

No, no, sara7a no. They are just tools for me, mear tools created by humans that are there to serve us. If you have a tool as a servant, why would you get inspired from a tool ?Anakhod l’inspiration kter mn general philosophies wla life, matters dial l7ayat.... li kaynin abstract fmossi9ti. I can talk maybe ila kano issues li mkhlo9in fl3alam wla bli insta kills energy, surconsomation kda.....ah, walakin houma alone no. 


Kayen chi projet jay flmossta9lab?

Kaynin 2 dial les projets, wahed l’album ba9i under construction w wahed l EP, fin andkhl ldar l Geometric Corruption since 3 snin db. Kan bni 3ad kan tleb la carte.
