These are truly original pieces, very personal, closer to contemporary and improvised music than to ethnic music.The recordings began in autumn 2019 in Laurent Pernice's studio. Dominique Beven improvised a series of tunes, under the direction of the composer, during three  different sessions distributed over time. The sound recordings were then re-arranged, mixed and electronically manipulated  by Laurent Pernice to produce the final pieces to be submitted to Anima Motrix Company. The album " Le Corps utopique", which is Laurent Pernice's 18th album, was released by ADN Records, a label based in Milan (Italy) and run since 1983 by people who are passionate about new, industrial and or improvised music. Since the beginning, they have shown a strong interest in deviant French music, publishing Pascal Comelade, Pierre Bastien, and DDAA... All the sessions recorded by Laurent Pernice and Dominique Beven have been gathered on this album.
