Time is Away: Messengers from the invisible world

‘A faith of starlings A faith in the closeness of their mystery’

IN FOCUS: HERBIE HANCOCK

How haven't we done this one yet? Two hours of jazz, fusion and idiosyncratic pop from one of the 20th Century's most singular innovators, Herbie Hancock. Ever since the beginning of his career, Herbie Hancock has been triumphantly resistant to the contemporary dogmas of jazz, continually altering musical trends as he goes. During his tenure playing in bands with Donald Byrd and Miles Davis, Hancock was a foundational figure in the birth of post-bop jazz sound. He soon moved onto fusing jazz with funk, and fearlessly experimented with early electronic instruments, synthesizers and even samplers.

Ambient Modern Classical

During 'Wave Form', Aurélien Arbet and Pierre Rousseau explore an interpolation of various recordings, often at the margins of traditional formats and conventional styles of music. During an hour, a long oscillation is formed out of a selection of interviews, spoken word, poetry, music for dance or art, marginal pop attempts and various field recordings.

Aurélien Arbet is an art director, co-founder of the clothing brand and publishing house Études. Pierre Rousseau is a composer, producer and sound designer, crafting sounds for records, films, and art projects.
