BRUIT ≤ "Apologie Du Temps Perdu, Vol. 1" CD

During the past year we had the chance to travel across Europe and expending our first album on stage. Night after night we tried to push the limits of our individual energies and our collective sound. We had witness sonic, emotional and physical intensity that we never imagined we would have. 
In this frenetic whirlwind it seemed essential to us to find moments to stop, meditate, and take a step back.

These musical meditations take the form of an ambient EP in which we were able to freely explore the idea of creating a music refuge. 
The whole was recorded in our studio "La Tanière" and in the "Studio Capitole" by mixing production techniques of all ages. In « La sagesse de nos aïeux », the composition have been made 100% on a paper as a tribute to the music of our ancestors, then it have been recorded and mixed on an old tape recorder. We then slowed down the tape to give this heavy and low sound that seems like fossilized.

In « Rêveur lucide » we first recorded a guitar/bass improvisation on a 90's cassette "portastudio". This is the basis of the whole piece, which is then cut, processed and organized on software and then re-injected into synthesizers and other more contemporary treatments.
Finally, on "Les temps perdus" we worked on scores for the synthesizers and the strings and in improvisation for the piano, the bass guitar and the drums. We created textures with an old Roland tape delay and at the end finalized the mastering on a beautiful Studer tape machine at Chab mastering with Adrien Pallot. This last piece is a form of synthesis of the experimentations of the first 2 pieces.
