Infinite Probabilities (Particle 2)
"Quantum mechanics unfolds an intricate realm of limitless possibilities and probabilities, eluding easy definition. It paints a picture of the universe vastly different from our perceptible reality. What captivates me is the lens through which I perceive sound, akin to the principles of quantum physics—I don't merely hear the audible, but rather, I extract elements to construct novel auditory experiences. My profound interest in science, particularly quantum mechanics, originates around 2008-20…
A Sequence of Moments in Time
*80 copies limited edition* Granny Records presents A Sequence of Moments in Time by France Jobin. All sounds recorded in Montreal including the Korg Poly 800, The Buchla 200 at Elektronmusikstudion, Stockholm.

"The last two years have seen me maintaining an association with an unusual bedfellow, death. The loss of Mika Vainio, as well as three …
Singulum
Returning to Line after her critically acclaimed 2012's Valence, France Jobin brings us the four sparse elegant works that comprise Singulum."Quantum physics inspires me to draw a parallel between the fundamental building blocs of physics, sounds and music. I put field recordings through a series of editing and manipulation processes which result in very different sounds from their origins. These manipulations affect time, timbre, harmonics and the essence of each sound, whereas composition infl…
Valence
Line is proud to present a new work by Montreal sound artist France Jobin. Having released under her moniker i8u, Valence is her first release under her own name. Created entirely from transformed field recordings, this collection of three compositions has an elegant flowing simplicity. Slow harmonic modulations of a similar essence to the works of Eliane Radigue and Celer.Valence is inspired by both the valence bond (VB) and molecular orbital (MO) theories.An atomic orbital is a mathematical fu…
