Reclusive glitch artist and electronic music producer William Jourdain has been keeping
busy since the release of his acclaimed 2016 debut Momentform Accumulations for
Constellation under the moniker Automatisme. Building out his modular synthesis racks and amassing new field recordings, Jourdain has
plunged Automatisme deeper into experimentation with Transit, his second full-length for
Constellation. Once again the sonic material is all sourced from the field, with recordings
captured in the forests and caves of rural Quebec, along with ex-urban "non-places" and
various waiting rooms. A simulacrum of what Jourdain calls "the architecture and landscape
of supermodernity" is rendered through generative and probability-based digital patches,
creating a partially randomized ecosystem for his soundworld to unfold.
