about

I reached out to my friends Carl Ludwig Hübsch and Philip Zoubek, with whom I've played in a trio since 2012, to see if they’d like to contribute to one of the tracks on Ephemera. I asked them to record a 60-minute improvisation, imagining as if they’d be playing in the trio. Initially, the idea was to collaborate on a track the three of us, but when I started editing their parts and building the piece last week, I realized it would be nice to work with a larger ‘group’.

Then the idea came to me to use stems from Quartetski’s Cage album, featuring Philippe Lauzier, Isaiah Ceccarelli, Bernard Falaise, and myself, and HMMH’s album Fleur de chaos, featuring Carl Ludwig Hübsch, Joane Hétu, Émilie Mouchous, and myself. Once I chose the tracks, I chopped everything up and reassembled the pieces to create the track you’ll hear here.
