Moullinex - Penumbra
Requiem for Empathy, the new album of Moullinex is out today, and to celebrate the launch he released a stunning A/V performance in collaboration with multidisciplinary artist Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance. Shot at Lisbon’s Made In Situ gallery.
On the video, Moullinex explains: - “As much as every other performing artist, I was on a forced hiatus from performances for the better part of 2020. To be honest, I found it difficult to find inspiration to create new music. My process is so tied to reality and dependent on external inputs: experiencing new places and new people, trying out new music ideas live, having long in-person conversations: all of that had been taken from us. So instead I started exploring the visual concepts behind this record, as their level of abstraction was enough to provide a disconnect from reality. I plunged into several rabbit holes, from using AI tools to create visual pieces, modeling 3D scenes, to real-time coding visual environments like TouchDesigner. One important aspect of this exploration was the juxtaposition of organic and artificial textures. Century-old techniques, like shadow play, side by side with modern technology like AI algorithms and artificial textures. “ -
