with (f)light jérôme chassagnard, a member of the french project ab
ovo, presents his first solo work. he is accompanied by befriended
artists like flaque and guillaume eluerd (nimp). what can we expect
from an artist whose influences and preferences range from electronica
and ambient to pop, ethnic music and drum'n'bass? whose preferred
authors are f.e. de st. exupery, andé gide, e.a. poe and ray bradbury?
whose favorite movie directors are stanley kubrick, david lynch and
steven spielberg - just to name a few? what looks like an eclectic
puzzle at first glance makes perfect sense after listening to this
outstanding album...
each track is carried by intense, emotional moods that take the
listener from warm and soothing tranquillity to disturbing and yet
unknown places with proficient subtlety. flowing ambient landscapes
based upon varied rhythms include beautiful, sometimes slightly sad
melodies - only a glimpse of the darkness behind the mirror of
technology. all of this accented with sampled acoustic instruments and
the appropriate use of voices and guitars - this album holds a perfect
balance between beat and drift.
a captivating piece of work - essential listening to all those who wish to enter an abstract parallel world - yet, not so abstract that they'll get lost.
