Swiss electro-acoustic artist Israel Quellet's fourth opus on Sub  Rosa: a complex and mysterious work for symphonic bass drum, symphonic  tympani, organ, Tibetan horn, homemade horn, triangle, tubular bells,  shocks inside the church, anvil metal tank, and church bells. A  challenging listen, but so rewarding.
- "Music of expectation and experience, controlled recklessness. In  his obsession with the possibilities of sound, Israel Quellet takes us  to exciting places." --PopMatters 
- "Quellet's music seems to operate outside the usual genres and  esthetics, even in avant-garde terms. Schools of thoughts are ignored,  eras clash... and the listener comes out... with the feeling of having  experienced something special and truly original." --AllMusic
Born in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, 1972. He worked in the psychiatric  field for several years. At 16, he discovers on his own some different  soundworlds, such as Miles Davis's electric era,Sun Ra, Dub, German  cosmic music, Magma, Zappa and many more. In 1997, he stepped into the  action and, following the advice of a sound engineer friend, bought  microphones, a digital mixing board, and studio monitors. Basically, he  turned part of his basement into a soundsmithing studio. That is when he  started to create, out of his immediate surroundings, sound works that  have little to do with what is 'normally' being done. Appreciated by  composer Jorge E. Campos, Quellet is supported by the Centre Pierre  Schaeffer in Paris. In 2003, he contacted Sub Rosa. Three years later,  he was releasing his first public recording.
