Nicolas Tourney is a French experimental musician and sound designer, also owner of the label Snow in Water Records. With Ram, he offers us an electronic work focused on perception and the act of listening, with the use of various sound devices and drones. Ram is a work in-progress with long-sustained tones. Ram offers the listener a perceptual experience: there is a “sound” that is both the object of perception and the source of that same perception. This sustained sound, which we clothe by calling it a soundscape, separates exploration from gesture. It looks at what draws us to a sound, how listening gets caught up in it, and how it draws our attention to an experience. Ram sounds like a suspension that opens onto interiority. In this silence, the listener finds himself contemplating the act of listening, as if it were the constant noise of natural electricity.
