Occurence by Jérôme Poret

“I am not I but rather the streetlights, this or that occurence nothing more" - Alfred Döblin, Berlin Alexanderplatz.
Occurrence: 
event, more or less expected situation, the occasion for an encounter.
This sound pattern works like a surface indicator.
As it is diffused in space like wallpaper,
it’s set up with the environment which reveals itself through the motif.
The places affect the colour of the sound as well as its dimension, but not its temporality.
Therefore users would absolutely be advised to do so while listening to this record.

Jérôme Poret has been scavenging abandoned sounds from industrial wastelands, public areas as well as phonography for many years, the way a rag-and-bone man would do. With the gathered material, he builds narratives–halfway between sound documents and musical fiction–on the aggregates of the 20th century.
