Anton MobinNovember 2, 2010
*Name: Anton Mobin
*Are there any additional names used to describe this project: Nope
*Do you use a pseudonym? Yes
*Members: Only me
*Founding Members: Anthony Baron
*Tape manipulations, digital deconstructions or turntable creations: "Tape manipulations" seems to be the best term to describe my approach of Sound. As I record all I heard every day since a long time; first on analog support (cassette), then numerically thanks to a Nagra recorder. Fascinated by the peculiarity offer by sounds of the everyday life; field recordings and sound effects are the essential elements of my work naturally directed to an extensive concrete music.
*Another genre descriptor: I like to use Extensive concrete music to describe my radiophonic compositions. Then, Pling Plong music is the term which define the best my live act when I play springs and others metal objects.
*Why you use this descriptor: "Extensive concrete music" was used by Phlow Magazine in a review of my "Micro-Climat" soundwork, and "Pling Plong" music was used by Rinus van Alebeek in one of his article to describe my performance in Berlin.
*Location: Paris, France
*Original Location: I was born in 1979 in Orleans (in the center of France at 100 km in the south of Paris).
*What is your creative/artistic background: Briefly, I started Music with piano and guitar when I was 12 years old to finally playing bass in many rock and improvised music bands. Then, I became a guitar teacher for young and very young children in music school. Since 2006, I joined ARTE Radio as radio producer and curated my own broadcast show on the webradio KKWNE. In parallel, I perform live with various international artists through an experimental practice with an approach done wonders for the self-confidence on the music improvised towards an intuitive music. Lauding a radical practice, my approach is energetic, spontaneous and strongly strewed with radio segments.
*History: soon 10 years !
*Born: Anton Mobin is born during a bass recording session in Orleans in 2000 for an album of Ayato (a highjacking composer). He tells me, "I found a name for you: Anton Mobin" and I said "oh, I hate Amon Tobin; ok !! that's great !!" Like the music descriptor, I enjoy letting the friend find right words.
*Motivations: To create is for me a necessity of every day. A way of Life, I suppose. Meet and connect people. Travelling motivates me.
*Philosophy: Life is Sound and Sounds are my everyday life.
*How would you like to be remembered: Like a fascinated activist.
