After a triptych released by Un je-ne-sais-quoi, in barely 3 years, under the name Tachycardie, Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy, musician, composer but also visual artist, continues his very singular journey to the heart of sound matter, with an album composed on Baschet sound structures.
It is in the Ateliers Baschet, a place aimed at preserving and transmitting the work of the Baschet brothers (workshops, conferences, residencies) that Tachycardie recorded this new album. After having combined on his previous albums, analog synthesis, audio-naturalism and percussion in an overwhelming balance, he explored here all the sonic variety of Baschet structures.
He then just sculpted this sound material in his studio, using simple effects: editing and pitch. The result is a new piece in Tachycardie's work, made of subtle percussive crackles, beneficial chaos and restorative oscillations.[info sheet from distr.]
