France Jobin<\/strong>
\nThe Illusion Of Infinitesimal<\/em>
\nFRANCE\u00a0BASKARU<\/a>\u00a0KARU:27 CD (2014)<\/p>\n

One of the more \u2018silent type\u2019 sound art selections to cross my path of late; volume\u2019s now up so high so I\u2019ll probably be blasted into next year when I forget to reduce it for the next CD. Though drifting for the most part in a zero-gravity bliss state, these minimalist compositions do distinguish many a frequency between remote rotary rumbling and a fan-like spreading of sine waves that pierce the head bone, bleach neglected skull lining and fill the sterilized space with a waft of hygienic vapour.<\/p>\n

France Jobin<\/strong>\u00a0returns thus inspired from the realm of subatomic particles and their nebulous existential status, engaged this round by the quantum conundrum of angular momentum: as I understand it, the directional attribute possessed by gyroscopes and Frisbees. Particles possess a more limited version of this; a matter quite mysterious given that they have no discernable size. Moreover, their tendency to alternate with the wave state has rendered objective analysis a notoriously tricky business.<\/p>\n

The compositional parallel Jobin draws from this involves working from a given emotion while neither pursuing nor exploring said state, just as one keeps an eye floater in view by keeping the eye still (to paraphrase inexpertly). From this point she painstakingly pares sounds down to their \u2018unique essence\u2019, from which point she is equipped to \u2018communicate intent without influencing its unfolding, a delicate balance between perfection and detachment.\u2019 This definition of \u2018intent\u2019 \u2013 perhaps less commonly used \u2013 can be found in meditation and internal martial arts with specific reference to the manipulation of the opposing forces of yin and yang. It can designate \u2018intention\u2019 divorced from \u2018desire\u2019: the information the brain sends to a limb for example. This neutrality is well demonstrated across these three unemotional yet involving compositions, which reveal and conceal different attributes with each listen.<\/p>\n
