Chassol Radio

This is not an album. It’s a ritual. A saga carved in breath and silence.

The Flame That Spoke in Silence is a 20-track mythic folk journey through exile, grief, and the quiet power of memory. It follows the flameborn—cast out by his warband, forgotten by his village, erased from the stone. But he does not burn with vengeance. He walks with silence.

Each track is a chapter of emotional reckoning:

He descends into the cave where silence first chose him.

He returns to the village that forgot its name.

He sings for the warband that broke their oath.

He carves the final rune—not for glory, but for those who were never named.

This is music for those who’ve been cast out. For those who carry grief like a blade. For those who walk alone, not to escape—but to remember.

There are no gods here. No kings. Only breath. Only flame. Only silence.

If you’ve ever felt forgotten, this album remembers you.

August 2018: It’s already been three years since Domenique Dumont made its entrance in the music world with a debut EP named Comme Ca. Despite a seemingly very quiet musical activity (the opening song to Antinote’s compilation Five Years Of Loving Notes was the only song released by the band in 3 years) a few things have changed in-between these two summers: Domenique Dumont is no more the mysterious lone French producer we introduced last time but a Latvian duo, Arturs Liepins and Anete Stuce, which has been collaborating with “an enigmatic French artist whose existence cannot be confirmed nor denied” (sorry, but it sounds like there’s still some mystery in the air, and, again, we’re just as clueless as you might be), the duo have been touring live and, most importantly, they kept on broadening their musical palette experimenting in a definitely pop field. Eight of these experiments are now tied together in Miniatures de Auto Rhythm.

The record probably begins where Comme Ca ended: frantic but light drum programing backbones a solar and slightly melancholic melody on Le Début De La Fin (“the beginning of the end”). However, the scope gets enlarged as soon as one reaches the second tune, Quasi Quasi, or Quand, on the flip side, perhaps the most overtly pop-rock oriented song on the record with its Mediterranean guitar and emotional bridge.

The road towards the apex of the record, Le Soleil Dans Le Monde, is a narrow and windy one, punctuated by toy instrumentals like Ono Mambo Haiku or the Donkey Kong Country-friendly Message Of The Diving Bird; however it never departs from its original tongue-in-cheek attitude. It’s quite pleasant to imagine these eight “miniatures” as field recordings from an enchanted world of pop music designed by some Pierre & Gilles’ disciples – or are there
musical interpretations of half-mechanical, half-organic creations from a certain Otto Rhiesem (who might have inhabited the Locus Solus villa)? There might be no definitive answers to this second set of riddles by Domenique Dumont.
