condition (record/cover): NM / NM - Insert included. Allain Gaussin signs Éclipse / Eau-Forte / Ogive on Calliope, three pieces whose titles trace a trajectory: eclipse as occultation, etching as incision, ogive as the arch that supports. Gaussin constructs delicate architectures, structures that seem about to dissolve but hold.

His music dialogues with Gérard Grisey and spectralism without fully belonging to that school. There's attention to timbre, care for acoustic phenomena, but also a melodic component that stricter spectralists might have judged sentimental. Gaussin didn't worry about such orthodoxies. The disc presents him balanced between worlds, borrowing from each without pledging allegiance to any.
