La Forêt des Amantes was born in a daydream. “At night, under the shining moon of silver, I ran in a forest with the one I love,” describes experimental artist Yasmine des Astres. Arriving at music by necessity, rather than by intention, Yasmine des Astres arranges her voice, live instrumentation and synthesis into cinematic assemblage, drawing as much from filmmaker Philippe Grandrieux, philosopher Georges Bataille and Sufi mystics like Ibn Arabi, Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi and Mansour al-Hallaj, as she does any particular sound. 

Despite this, the artist remains fiercely opposed to overly academic approaches to her art. Entirely self-taught, her DIY practice emerges as the consolidation of years of personal discovery. Dropping out of school at 15, suffering severe social anxiety, the artist took solace in her mother’s rap cassettes, instilling in her a love for hip hop instrumentals. Before long she was digging for samples online to make her own beats. At the age of 16 she discovered the transcendent Gnosticism of Sun Ra, which shifted her entire worldview forever. However it was the artist’s love of cinema, in particular the films of Robert Bresson, that truly taught her what it means to be an artist. Bresson’s legendary text ‘Notes On The Cinematograph’ helped Yasmine des Astres construct a vision of art with which she could connect her sensations to her emotions. 

Specifically, the image of running through a forest at night kept returning to her, a vision she initially understood as a need for freedom, but which gradually developed into a deeper, more intense understanding. Chasing “desire as a liberating and enlightening force,” her dream of liberation became one of sexual exploration and self destruction, while La Forêt des Amantes grew into The Forest of Lesbian Lovers. “It is a dream made out of my lesbian devotion,” the artist asserts. “A desire to annihilate myself through the lesbian I would love.” Citing kindred spirit Obsequeen and Japanese experimental noise rock oddities Les Rallizes Dénudés as sonic influences, with La Forêt des Amantes Yasmine des Astres picks her way through an expansive sonic terrain of effects-laden vocals and off-kilter electronics. 
 “The album is about yearning,” she explains. “The forest doesn’t exist, it is not a forest we know. It is an absence. An absence of civilization, an absence of politics, just two lesbians and the universe around them.”
