iqbit / bo-za set / electronica, IDM
BO-ZA SET is a new brand live-set from Iqbit. It is an half programming and half
improvising sound module that mix ambient frequency with broken beat. Matrix sounds
come from Nordlead synthesizer processed with a bounce of free-ware plug-ins on free
download at www.smartelectronix.com.
Every recorded sound in the set comes from an improvisation session done in my own
studio. Sounds generated by synthesizers are elaborated with a non-conventional use of
effects, then processed through applications that modify the algorithms of the binary code
that describes the sound. This technique produces a radical change of sound and rhythm
in a process of generation/destruction.
The informatic applications used incorporate the modulation of aleatory functions. This
makes for a singular symbiosis between the the interpreter and the instrument.
Programming precise sequences and living open space to random algorithms I share the
experience of the creative process with a form of artificial intelligence. The final musical
product is therefore fruit of a conscious hybrid between man and machine.
My music identifies itself entirely with it's format thus impossible to fix to musical partition.
At the same time it's a style of music that rhythmically involves the listener, not limiting
itself to being purely conceptual. Rhythmic references to rhythmic solutions of funky jazz
and other genres stimulate an emotional response, often absent in so called experimental
music.
