Jean-Marc Foussat

"A beautiful solo album by experimental electronician/multiinstrumentalist Jean-Marc Foussat. The album is clearly dedicated to his son Victor Foussat, a young poet and painter who died this year. One of his paintings his reproduced on the inner sleeve, and Jean-Marc recites a poem of his in-between the two 20-minute tracks that make up the album. I rarely cross paths with Foussat’s music, but each opportunity is a delight. The two pieces here are powerful amalgams of synths and objects. Foussat’s music has a self-taught feel to it and shows a keen sense of spreading around/retightening, which is what drives the first track. The second piece is more loop/accretion-based. Strong material." - Monsieur Delire
