Plein Soleil
2021 Repress. In "Plein Soleil", Fitoussi explores the continent of his electronic instruments, watching them move along with him on his journey, like uncharted territories, beyond what’s already been said, done, composed and played. In these tracks, or should we say, between them, something new unfurls.

After his last album Plein Soleil on the label, he offers here a limited run of 300 copies for his new release, contained in a transparent sleeve with postcard."Rayons" illustrates Les Rayons (Sarus), 2016, a sculpture by Xavier Veilha…

Returning Two
Tape Loop Orchestra’s ambient concrète aesthetic coalesces clammy choral swells and bombed-out, buried percussion in the second of a new two-part project following 2019’s ‘Interiors’ series.
