I first heard the work of Patrick Ascione on a collection of stuff
released on CD as an audio documentation of the Prix International
de Noroit 1989. The piece was titled Lune noire and it is also the
first of three compositions on this 1995 release of some of his
work on the impeccable Canadian label empreintes DIGITALes. Lune
noire is sonic topography, little is recognisable in this new
audio terrain which is viewed multi-dimensionally from extremely
unusual angles in strange attractor space. many of the studio
techniques, and I suspect, some of the sounds used on Lune noire
occurred earlier on Sur champ d'azur which was finished in 1986.
ItÆs a study of the sky as canvas and the clouds that cross it.
Huge slabs of sounds interspersed with microscopic investigation
move us across this azure field as it slides past us. Truly
enormous - this man has seen how big clouds can be.
Valeurs dÆombres (Values of the Shadow) ends this CD with its
ôexploration of a sombre region of dark sonorities of the
electroacoustic palette and is also therefore a quest for the
light (of course!). Domains of the Shadow are flat space; the
edges are sharp. Nothing offers protection or cover, everything
shifts, jitters and moves. Electronic insects buzz and whirr, are
silenced violently and then return mutated/evolved. Space tightens
as we advance. Oozing ahead of usà A Glimpse of Light.
Ascione incorporates a broad spectrum of techniques in his work.
He has signature trademarks and they are good because they work
effectively as suggestive audio information. This, together with
his knowledge of how fast audible space can change raises him a
notch above his contemporaries.
As usual with the empreintes DIGITALes series, the full power of
the sound quality is best appreciated under headphones unless you
have extremely tolerant neighbours.
