The humble solenoid was once the butt of all electronics jokes, but no more. Like Felix and his machines, Nicolas Bernier has tasked himself with portraying the electromechanical component as a chic and sophisticated workhorse, and Prix Ars have lapped it up. Having satisfyingly conquered the physical world, Bernier has now constructed 15 fully synthesized digital ditties to be listened to in any order collectively titled Frequencies (Synthetic Variations). Watch the video for “frequencies (a)” above, scope his newest release Frequencies (Synthetic Variations) on Entr’acte (mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi), and experience the DIY.
