N.B.- According to a fictitious etymology, the term Zn'shñ signifies: the gleam of dark colours. Deliberately antithetic and intentionally enigmatic, Zn'shñ is enthused by Butoh iconography, Japanese Gagaku aesthetic and Tibetan rituals codification. Operating as a dual electronic unit (Elvire Bastendorff & Franck Smith), Zn'shñ deepens some very specific works around electronic phonocrafting and noise manufacturing.

Zn'shñ + A Qui Avec Gabriel + Cal Lyall @ SuperDeluxe, Tokyo, Japan

"(1/3) Live performance during Test Tone 61: Intersecting Streams of Consciousness @ SuperDeluxe, Tokyo, Japan (Recorded September 14th, 2010)

—Notes from official program—

Zn'shñ (electronics) + À qui avec Gabriel (accordion) + Cal Lyall (hydrophone)

Specializing in electronics, French artists Zn'shñ (aka Franck Smith & Elvire Bastendorff) creates expansive soundscapes of the highest order. Under the Odiolorgnette imprint, Zn'shñ has produced albums and soundtracks steeped in minimalist sensibility, influenced by artists such as Ryoji Ikeda and butoh legend Hijikata Tatsumi.

[here] Zn'shñ's sound artistry meets with the sublime accordion playing of À qui avec Gabriel, a Tzadik recording artist with a string of successful collaborations under her belt — joined by improvising artist Cal Lyall, who creates watery ambiances using effected hydrophones (underwater microphones) submerged in strange and hypnotic water sources.

Franck Smith solo performance @ STEIM, Amsterdam (2009)

YouTube via odiolorgnette
"Franck Smith solo performance at STEIM, Amsterdam, December 17th, during "Patterns & pleasure" event — mixing adapted turntable drumming and scratching technics on Handsonic HPD-15 w/ video-game esthetic and real-time electronic beat-making (No loops and no sequencer used here) IF POSSIBLE USE HEADPHONES WHEN VIEWING VIDEO MATERIAL OR CONNECT YOUR COMPUTER TO A QUITE DECENT SOUND SYSTEM.
........................................

Rehearsals for Franck Smith @ STEIM's "Patterns & pleasure" event (2009)


The STEIM@40! was a celebration of STEIMs 40 year history through a diverse program of events. We would like to conclude this series by looking into new themes.

"Patterns & pleasure" — From once being an act of banging on things, rhythm has evolved into something that you carefully program through sequencer based instruments. Groove becomes an interesting space where complexity and intuition intersect. So how can we imagine new tools and ways to perform this new groove? How can we bang, sculpt and structure in real-time?
........................................

N.B. The routines obtained here were partly inspired -- in their content and esthetic -- by turntablists Qbert and D-styles . Although nothing can rival real vinyl manipulation by experts, a personal adaptation of these techniques on Handsonic makes imagine new ways in real time electronics.

Material used in this video:
- Handsonic (Roland HPD 15)
- Moog Bass Murf (MF-105b)
- Lo-Fi (LF7)
