my first linocut print post-pandemic (2020 is the last). English translation of title: Death to the Makapilis

This composition, inspired by the eponymous track by the musician Solvant, is a patchwork of symbolic elements borrowed from modular synthesizers and electronic sound creation. Made up of elements found in certain semi-modular synthesizer brands like Make Noise and their iconic designs, this work is a homogeneous and minimalist assembly of waveforms, electronic components, button symbols, jack cables, and other small details characteristic of these mysterious and monolithic instruments.

At the end of 2020, I owned a few semi-modular synthesizers that I would tinker with from time to time. I once had to make a choice between music creation or engraving. Rather than being mediocre in both areas, I chose to abandon one and focus on the other.

This work is therefore a small personal tribute to certain styles of electronic music.

I would like to introduce you to the work of Sergio Suarez. the image comes from his site. For me, he is one of the engravers whose work captivates me the most with its size, its sobriety and its depth.
