WE LIVE IN A WONDERFUL AGE!

 

"It's a tidal wave that has begun to surge at an accelerated pace. And we don't yet fully understand its magnitude. At the beginning of 2025, 10% of the songs posted on the Deezer music streaming service were entirely generated by AI. Last April, that figure rose to 18%. By the start of the fall semester, nearly 28% of the tracks uploaded each day were affected, representing more than 30,000 titles daily. On Wednesday, November 12, Deezer revealed that 34% of new releases on the platform, or nearly 40,000 titles per day, are now entirely synthetic. In other words, in less than a year, the volume of artificial songs has more than tripled.
 
This trend does not only affect Deezer, the most transparent player on the market. All platforms, from Amazon Music to Apple Music and Spotify, are facing it. The Swedish giant recently revealed that it had removed 75 million unwanted tracks, whose creation was facilitated by advances in AI.

[Release] "Floating Indetermination (For Morton Feldman)"

 

 

 Dear friends,

I would like to share with you my new musical project, “Floating Indetermination (For Morton Feldman).”

It is a continuation of my previous work, a form of ambient music evolving towards contemporary, minimalist chamber music.

This album is a tribute to Morton Feldman, the American composer (1926-1987) whose instrumental work has been a source of inspiration for many ambient musicians, including Brian Eno.

Characterized by slowness, silence, and melodic sketches interspersed with sound objects that are echoed in different listening planes, “Floating Indetermination” seeks to explore new musical territories using electronic instrumentation, and in a way, blur the boundaries between ambient and contemporary and minimalist classical music.

The album contains over 90 minutes of music, including a 27 minutes extended version.

In the hope of sharing it as widely as possible, I am offering this album on my Bandcamp page on a “name your price” basis, thanking you in advance for your generosity if you wish to contribute...
