Rafael Timoner is a multidisciplinary artist (painting, sculpture, engraving, photography, installations…) whose body of work has always been characterized by a minimal and conceptual style, in constant experimentation, and constantly incorporating new techniques which led him to use sound and video synthesis integrating his sculptural and multimedia installations.

In his case, the use of sound is not subject to any law or musical theory, he’d rather think of musical pigments, tones, textures in paint, or welds, oxides and brilliance of sculptural metals… Mutating into frequencies, tones, tonalities, rhythms, times… and thus becoming part of his new “palette”.

Our Session offers his latest audiovisual work, ECP (Error Correction Protocol), with sounds created with his Tokyo Tape Music Center system based on the legendary Buchla100, in addition to field recordings, sounds produced by the same devices used, tape delays, electromagnetic sensors, contact microphones, condensation microphones, omnidirectional sensors, mixing and adding noises recorded from body movements, fingers, hands, feet, from internal organs, breathing, and from others accidental and unexpected origins.

The album’s title is inspired by the error correction protocols used in data transmission/reception as well as data storage.

In the videos produced for this project, the devices used appear in contrast to images and codes from the protocols that, at the same time, give title to each track/binary numbered, The constant images of hands and their gestural movements are the link between the entire audio visual project.

"Modulisme," formerly "Early ElectroMIX," is a platform that aims to support original composing for analog modular systems but not only… A radio program airing music made using modular systems… Each program lasts one hour and is especially dedicated to one composer and features some exclusive music made for us.
