Clemens Hourriere & Jonathan Fitoussi - Five Steps (2015)

Five Steps is the fruit of a recent collaboration between Jonathan Fitoussi and Clemens Hourrière. The Buchla 200 is one of the first modular synthesizers dating from the 1970s. Jonathan Fitoussi and Clemens Hourrière, sharing a passion for vintage synthesithers, accepted an invitation at EMS Stockholm for a week-long residency to explore and create this body of work. Using solely the Buchla 200 without any other instruments, the two composers/producers imagines each piece as part of a film track. Using certain sound ideas and talented tinkering, the work is somewhat mimimalist, and offers different moods, corresponding with different times of the day and the city of Stockholm.
