LOUIS LAURAIN (fr) : trumpet

The second Maïzing Session with Louis !

Born in 1984, he taught himself to play the trumpet and then studied jazz and improvisation at the conservatories of Lyon (CNR) and Paris (CNSMDP). While developing his own personal and original language on his instrument, he researched, through different collaborations, an intuitive and spontaneous approach to music. His interest is essentially in different forms of improvised music for various formations,ranging from solo to orchestral.
His work is focussed principally on two topics. Firstly an accoustic approach to instruments through research on sounds and sound effects in relation to the space in which they are produced. Secondly work on the amplification of instruments (“close miking”) with the aim of creating the illusion of an electric or electronic “machine instrument”.

ANTON MOBIN (fr) : Prepared chamber

Radio producer, improvisor, sound artist, Anton Mobin develops an intuitive, energetic music and done wonders for the self-confidence by any elitist codes which the improvised music. Anton makes his own instruments called "prepared chamber" and in which are ordered swith microphones and objects of the everyday life, mostly hijacked from their first use.

Minimalist loops, radio moments, peaks of sound intensity and fragments of autonomous sounds freed from their context, without any reference are so many elements which characterize Anton Mobin's performances.
