Schumacher focuses his research primarily on electronic and digital media, computer-generated sounds that iterate over fairly long periods of time, serializing sequences from multiple physical sources and structural elements.

Loic Blairon proposes a postulate. He listens and thinks he
has no ideas to make music, but that people, through listening, can hold
reality. Loic Blairon, in a way, says no to music - and it could not be
otherwise, with a "work" based only on scattered tolls every minute.
This "no" - finally - precisely defines the unilateral relationship that
the "author" seeks to stabilize within and through ]]> http://www.neural.it/sound/2010/08/loic_blairon_x0.phtml http://www.neural.it/sound/2010/08/loic_blairon_x0.phtml experimental Sat, 28 Aug 2010 05:00:00 +0000 2CD - Pogus

Extremely dilated drones, yet not too immaterial, redundant in their progressive slips of many sound layers. Microtones, someone calls them, but there's nothing minimalist in such a soundscape.
