Composer of Spoken Word and Electronic
Frédéric Nogray is a self-taught musician, improviser and composer since 1999. He pays a particular attention on sounds in their intrinsic qualities and for what they are: vibratory phenomenon. But also for their broadcasting into the listening space, our perceptions on it, and the various states of consciousness induced by the listening that led us in the intimacy of the sound, into our own intimacy. Years after years, he used several electronic and electro-acoustic devices during concerts, for recordings and sound installations, and during collaborations with other artists. The sounds he often uses are coming from feedbacks effects of analogical devices for the broadcasting and treatment of sound (mixing boards, effects…), then transformed or not by computer processing. Since 2005 he plays a more instrumental music using crystal singing bowls. These bowls are made of powder of high tempered melting quartz (silica) as crucibles. They are conceived for an industrial use, in the manufacturing of components for the new technologies. The music composed with these crystal bowls is acoustic but the purpose and the listening remain the same than his music composed with the electronic devices. He compose also and play with field recordings mostly from nature. In 2012, he wents twice in Honduras to record sounds, and since then he has released few releases on different labels.
