about

« And who sees the mystery » is a music piece based on sound check situations and rehearsals of Amazigh music recorded by Gilles Aubry between 2013 and 2014 in Morocco. Using his microphone as a sound processing device Aubry has transformed further his field recordings in the studio through performative feedback techniques.

Far from an ethnographic account, his composition is an abstract sonic exploration of traditional instruments, rhythms and spaces. It also features a poetic text in Amazigh language by Farid Zalhoud, “Tribute to the Ear”, commissioned especially for the project.

“…The resulting sounds elicit a sense of creation and destruction, tightly bound together, held in stasis for perusal.”
— Decoder Magazine (USA)

“This is some fascinating stuff, I must say. This is not your usual layering of some water/rain/sea/forest sounds, but a rather intense trip…”
— Vital Weekly (NL)

“Feldaufnahmen von Amazigh-/Berber-Trommeln und -gesängen bilden den Kern einer weniger ethnologisch-musealen als klanglich-aktuellen Annäherung…”
— Bad Alchemy (DE)

“Voices, combined with LoFi noises, his typical microelectronics and drones create a super interesting grounded sound…”
— Diskoryxeion (GR)

“De sa nouvelle errance, Gilles Aubry a ainsi fait deux (sur)faces pleines et ravissantes.”
— Le Son Du Grisli (FR)

“… das ist bei weitem nicht die erste brillante Veröffentlichung des Berliner Corvo-Labels.”
— freistil (AT)

“… un affascinante quadro acustico che unisce la forza visionaria e sciamanica, essenzialmente pastorale, delle sonorità di base con la sua sensibilità compositiva.”
— Sound And Silence ZINE (IT)
