Playmodes

Playmodes is an art research collective. This is its sound experiments repository. We hand-code our digital instruments with open-source tools (Ableton is banned at home). We collaborate with contemporary music interpreters. We compose scores for string quartets, choirs, piano, pipe organs, wind quintets or chamber orchestras. We dig into the data sonification waters, turning stars into music. And above all, we love deep and weird computer music. Check out our complete audiovisual work here: www.playmodes.com

Music vanishes. Time, which makes it possible, is also the one erasing it. It survives in an instant and disappears, perhaps leaving an imprint on our memory. We try to fix its memory through sheet music, notes or recordings, but the result is always the same: the music escapes us, like water between our fingers. "Contorns", for flute, clarinet, sax and electronics, is a new attempt to freeze the...
