Bruno Duplant
Athanor
*150 copies limited edition* Within him lies a chamber made of attention rather than walls. There, a quiet warmth works without flame, loosening certainties, refining what has settled into form. Nothing is forced; everything is listened into being. A tone, a shadow, a fragment of light; each pass through him as trace rather than possession. The world is not captured but accompanied, allowed to breathe, to fade, to re-emerge altered. In this inward vessel, transformation is a discipline of patien…
Terra Incognita
*200 copies limited edition* Two beautiful pieces merging piano, electronics and field recordings.
"you had that uncertain landscape / in your mouth / a slightly opaque breath / chewing distances / into the ear of a land still without a name / the morning had settled askew / on the slow stones / and the motionless grasses / everything seemed to be waiting / for something very ancient / that never quite arrived / on my side / i had filled my pocket with silence / and repeated several times / what…
En D’autres Lieux
*50 copies limited edition* Somewhere at the edge of Waziers, Bruno Duplant listens deeply. His recordings collect the soft turbulence of vacant parcels of land, the drift of wires that hum, the weathering of surfaces that remember more than they reveal. In these materials he finds the beginnings of new fictions. Not narrative fictions, but the kind that arise when memory, chance, and close attention begin to overlap. Duplant describes himself as a discreet witness. The act of recording is not e…
Stratégies Obliques III
Tip! *200 copies limited edition* The Stratégies Obliques series continues with two previously unreleased tracks. Still based on the principle of randomly drawn cards invented by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt.
Fail better
*70 copies limited edition* Eventless Plot and Bruno Duplant join forces on Fail better, a cassette release that treats failure not as an endpoint, but as a method of composition and a way of listening. Across two long-form pieces, the group carves out a delicate space between electroacoustic improvisation, minimalism and ambient abstraction, letting sounds appear, waver and erode rather than declaring them with force.
Recorded by the Thessaloniki-based trio of Vasilis Liolios, Aris Giatas and Y…

Rien de ça
Bruno Duplant’s Rien de ça is a sparse and spectral meditation on presence through absence. Built from near-silences, fractured tones, and shifting aural shadows, it listens like an eroded diary—each sound a ghost of intent, each pause a deliberate, resonant void.

Moyens Fantômes

With the obsolescence of storing and reproducing media devices, a lot of information becomes unavailable and inaccessible but does it mean it has ceased to exist as information?

Des-Illusions
*2024 stock. 170 (hand-numbered) copies limited edition* "The genesis of this project is a conversation between Bruno and David about making music in current times of social and environmental crisis. This dialogue prompted an exchange of recordings, found sounds and other sonic material, advancing two pieces. Artistically, Bruno perceives himself as a pessimist acknowledging the presence of this thinking in his abundant music production, which is mainly collaborative. However, David perceives Br…
Nox
*2024 stock. 165 (hand-numbered) copies limited edition* The sound piece Nox (in addition to reflecting the traditional nocturnal effluvia specific to the title) is based on the multiple meanings and interpretations that can be made of the incomplete form of the dactylic hexameter and palindrome In girum imus nocte ecce et consumimur igni. This Latin phrase, pictorial and poetic, most often attributed to Virgil, refers to the moths that circle around the candle before burning themselves, and whi…

Quelques Instants D'éternité
First part of a new Duplant trilogy, after the pessimistic Élégie du temps présent / Sombres Miroirs / Insondables Humeurs cycle. The music remains imbued with mysticism and deep melancholy but turns toward a more luminous, hopeful register. The organ remains omnipresent, structuring the long tonal arcs, while electronic and natural sounds are admitted in a discreet but important counterpoint - a meditation in Duplant's Cage-Bachelard-Radigue lineage on memory and slow contemplation.
Insondables Humeurs
*In process of stocking. Edition of 80 copies.* Granny Records presents Insondables Humeurs by Bruno Duplant. Third part of the trilogy together with Élégie du temps présent (Granny records, 26, 2021) and Sombres Mirroirs (Cronica, 188, 2022)
2 Compositions
I have collaborated with Bruno Duplant on various projects over the last three years since I participated in Presque Rien (Rhizome-s) in 2013. Only a few people have met actual Bruno, and I have only worked with him via virtual exchanges. It was when I was feeling the limitation to pursue compositional projects only in the net that the idea of this collaboration was brought up. I immediately reacted with hesitation but Ko emailed me; "It would be very interesting to record materials like this. I…
