Sometimes, at the right moment, the right person finds the right words, when energy, self-confidence and creativity need to be restored...
Thanks to Thierry Moreau for this magnificent text on my music, a veritable aurora borealis in my night sky!
CHRISTIAN WITTMAN OR TACTILE AMBIENT
Ambient has changed a great deal since the early days of Discreet music's Brian Eno, to the point of distorting the original concept. In the meanders of Bandcamp's plethora of productions, Christian Wittman's work stands out.
Exploring divergent sound cardinal points, Christian Wittman marks his cartographies with tactile reliefs that resemble decorative environmental structures or lunar chords, suspended modulations and filigree percussion.
These are all sonic incidences that occupy our inner spaces, and go hand in hand with filmic visions without actors. We're reminded of David Lynch or Wim Wenders atmospheres.
His tableaux d'une exposition sonore invite us to procrastinate on our temporal fragments. As if savoring Proust's madeleines. Medical music.
In a world of time-compressed reality, he reinvents the praise for slowness, repose, the value of timbre and suggestion.
His virtuosity is not "dazzling" but layered and subtly organized.
Christian Wittman's music proposes a relative time, a tactile music with a poetic sound design, far removed from elevator music. Precisely.
