In the collective project Germinal, the fifteen participating composers were instructed to elaborate a work from a “seed”, a unique sound of a few seconds, freely chosen by each, in order to highlight the new means of digital studio transformation (not real-time) developed by Bénédict Mailliard at Studio 123 of the GRM. Rather than trying to bypass the inevitable processes of digital transformation, Denis Dufour agglomerates, stacks, superimposes to arrive at a super-process, a kind of great morphology of percussion-resonance type like that of the original sound. As a conceptual germ, here is an bunch of metal rods that fall on the floor, collide, bounce and roll on the parquet of the studio before coming to a complete stop.
