MATHIAS DELPLANQUE - 'Ma Chambre Quant Je N'Y Suis Pas (Montreal)' CD (Mondes Elliptiques)
This is the stereo version of a sound installation presented at Montréal’s Studio Cormier in December 2004. The piece is based on the recording of “silences”, i.e. the recording of sound produced in spaces with no human presence. The sound of an “empty” Studio Cormier was used as the material for the production of this piece. The sound takes were done during the quietest moments of the day, by means of microphones placed strategically throughout the Studio by the artist. The sounds gathered were then amplified and their frequencies accentuated to the extreme. The result of the experiment, as presented here, constitutes a genuine drone odyssey playing on fullness and emptiness, presence and absence, ‘’speak’’ and ‘’non-speak’. One long track full of subtle movement and enlivened with underlying currents. Limited to 500 copies in a textured sleeve with inserts. Mondes Elliptiques is a division of Angle.Rec, Canada.
NETHERWORLD - 'Kall - The Abyss Where Dreams Fall' CD (Mondes Elliptiques)
In a tradition that is anchored in avant-garde, ritual sounds and Dark Ambient, with a typically Italian touch, Netherworld gives an elegantly organic and palpable feel to sounds... as if the sound universe conjured by the magic of Netherworld was strangely… occupied. Netherworld has a tendency for ambiences that are excessively introspective and subdued, but which, at the same time, expand and subtly dilate to occupy an incommensurable space. Upon the first pulses of the opening track, this infinite abyss, envelops us and our dreams sink, dissolve, reinvent themselves. Limited to 441 copies in a deluxe textured foldout sleeve.
