Androvirus
Musique libre, électronique, non écrite, industrielle.
" For me the music exists only as living matter. It is for it that
I was never either in the condition or the search(research) to conceive
the music as a continuation(suite) of in a way quantifiable signs / notes
but rather as a transmission of energy, as a flow of energy, as the malpractice
of a barrier. "
Wolfgang Rihm
Translated from German by Francesca Serra
Speech in front of the students of the Musikhochschule of Cologne, on 2007
Androvirus opens audio grounds around improvisation and
performance, to the borders left vague between experimental music, art and
rock n roll.
He uses machines (sampler, looper, effects box, instruments home-made, voice
and guitar)... His samples is going to cross a complex network of effects
and buckles going back on themselves, before being mixed with the sensibility
of moment.
Androvirus alias Joffrey Guillon, is member of the Berlin group NoisiV ( 1999 ). He also works in France on the improvised music project Noizpozor ( 2007 ), as well as the group the teckno-Indus band Incertitudes Prolongées ( 2009 ), as well as on his solo project Androvirus since 2003.

Androvirus travaille l’improvisation
sans faiblesse, ouvre de nouveaux chemins, comme une cérémonie
à laquelle il nous convie. Nous ne devons pas nous contenter d’admettre
sa création par économie, il y a beaucoup d’espérance,
de choses à vivre, Androvirus tire un trait sur notre passé
et nous offre ici une assise solide. Sa musique se place sous le signe de
l’électro-choc, de la vibration en retour, de l’écho
toujours qui nous revient.
C’est sur Earsheltering, en téléchargement libre comme
toutes les bonnes choses en ce monde.
We are delighted to welcome
Androvirus on Earsheltering for an album where improvisation and pleasure
get on well.
It’s available as a free download, let there be more sound.
