MADEMOISELLE MARCHAND – MADEMOISELLE MARCHAND

3″ CDr, https://innerdemonsrecords.bandcamp.com/

Three tracks in between 6 and 7 minutes are on this one. And from what I didn’t find on the interwebz, this is the first release (self-titled). And since another has already released on the same label but… I’ll save that one for another time. So no, The internet comes up with some other Mademoiselles, but I couldn’t find any connection to noise or experimental art. So I don’t know who this is or is, no background, no location, nothing—only the music to go from and a little text on Bandcamp about how it was made.

The three tracks have some poetic titles like “Passion in Nature”, “To the Buried That Repose Around Us”, and “That of Which the Ultimate is Composed”. The music has been created within the digital domain, and all tracks use the same sound source, the sound of a trigonometric function. And I do love a little mathematics, so that may be why I love some noise more than others. If people ask me why I love noise, my most frequently given answer is that I subconsciously look for recurrent patterns well hidden within chaos. Like slow movements when everything is hectic, or a particular filtered frequency or a pattern of LFOs on an additional sound moving through the audio image being drawn.

A good example of a noise track that makes it less chaotic is the second track of this release. It was beautifully done, and it reminded me at moments of NAMANAX. And if you know me, I don’t say that very often, so that’s a compliment in my book.
