loving music is easy , audio production is hard

Experimental 2025

By now counting more than four decades of constant activity, Pierre Bastien erected such a towering and influential body of work that any blurb attempt regarding his music could easily fall into redundancy. Not that his revolving soundworld, deeply personal and unique, has ever stalled into gimmick or self mimicry, being Bastien the tireless explorer whose vision can never be complete, only continuously redefined in a process of discovery equally playful and challenging. So, completely in touch with Discrepant’s ethos.

Returning to the label after 2017 The Mecanocentric Worlds of Pierre Bastien, the french musician, composer and instrument builder, brings an array of instruments from different cartographies and legacies with the appropriately titled Sonic Folkways. Resorting to different types of horns, prepared trumpet, an army of percussion, from gongs and tambourine to castanets and maracas, violin and too many others to mention here, Bastien weaves together a highly textured and hypnotic mosaic that projects an exotica beamed from scraps of the future. ‘Aha!’ in the same interstellar wavelength as Sun Ra’s cosmic tones, ‘Moor’s Room’s almost orchestral tapestry of small percussion and insects or the non-western strings and tunings salvaged from ancient alien ceremonies on ‘Pan’s Nap’.

In an era where so much ink has been shed about world building in experimental music, Bastien can actually claim that to himself. The otherworld is right here, indeed.

Improvisación Perceptiō + Voces del Curso de Bárbara Lázara en PAOS

"The Diary Of The Second Officer" has been created in various parts of the world. I travelled with my mini setup: laptop, headphones, 3 octave midi keyboard and hand recorder. Field recordings are from the Batumi Botanical Garden, from road trips, as well as from a Georgian village called Chibati, and other places I deemed inspiring enough to capture in should and mood. Sounds for the "Moved By" tracks were recorded in a car, ship and airplane accordingly, with my hand recorder. Sampled recorded sounds are from airports in Istanbul and Singapore. The city soundscapes of Batumi, Singapore and Kagoshima are also present on this album."
