Je joue pour faire de la fumée L'image éconduite
Much needed release by one of most underrated French electro-acoustic genius, Philippe Mion assembles here a delicious collection of electronic and acoustic sounds, and interleaves them in ways that might be described as fugal. The texture is rich and complex, and yet spare enough to enable each sound combination to be enjoyed to the fullest. This double set features the legendary L'Image Éconduite composition, that was originally a 70-minute composition on 4-track tape (that was trimmed to 57 m…

Labyrinthe!
First performance commissioned by Radio France in March 2003. ’For the first time during my journey and ventures into the world of creation, I dreamt of a breath of fresh air deriving from the electronic realm. ‘Labyrinthe’ emerged as the result. All in all, a collaborative work achieved, overcoming the distance between its sources. The sound cuts from GRM reached me as set of reflections, like ‘cadavre exquis’. Fragments in any order, all on CD, sent by post, 7 composers, 7 colleagues sent me …

Chrysalide
In Bocalises, Denis Dufour explored with virtuosity the sound possibilities of a sole sound source, glass jars broken, crushed and mixed to themselves to infinity. Fifteen years later, he takes up the material and, with digital tools, presents a retouched and recoloured version to give a new power and poetic richness to the initial energy.

Musica Mundana / L'Estran
'Musica Mundana': Mixed, fusion and root music, work on 'harmonisation' of various music and vocals. A genuine alchemy! 'L'Estran': What a beautiful metaphor is this piece of coastline. It conveys an impression of in-between, uncertainty, contraries.

He has composed aro…
Hinterland
Carlos Roque Alsina is an Argentinean-born composer who tends to mix acoustic and taped sounds together in a manner that evokes natural sounds to some degree, something of a more programmatically inclined Iannis Xenakis. The title piece combines piano and percussion with taped sounds that often possess an organ-like quality. While the acoustic instruments dance around each other in intricate patterns, the tape heaves and respires ominously, depicting the sort of backcountry that's unsettling in …
