NØDE

Short sonic forms recorded in real time.

Each piece emerges from the superposition of several tracks,
played together until a balance appears.

A NØDE is not composed or edited.
It is captured.

Method

A NØDE begins with a track.
Others are layered and adjusted in real time.

Three to four sounds are played together,
forming a complete structure.

No editing.

Result

A complete piece, built in real time.

Multiple recordings converge
and form a single moment.
