A veteran of improvised live sets, Nntblst has extracted from his sessions “After me, the deluge”, the first EP of Machine Ouverte. We are proud to present this raw hypnotic techno release with a very personal universe.

Following the artistic direction of the label, the EP was composed and recorded live, the edit is only there to polish and make the set shine. Composed on a small modular case, Nntblst shows us a perfect mastery of his instrument.

The EP is composed of 5 tracks that form a coherent and flawless whole. We navigate through gritty and enchanting atmospheres, contrasted by a thumping intensity throughout the listening.

01 - When I am dead - 7'53
02 - The deluge may come - 5'55
03 - For ought I care - 6'17
04 - Ruin - 7'05
05 - Dead and gone - 6'35

“When I am dead” welcomes us with its kick wrapped in a groovy reverb, held by a tense and excited rhythm. The spirit of the EP is already there, hidden behind a few notes of synth with a scraped texture, as haunting as desired.

“The deluge May Come” is supported by a solid rolling bass that warns us of the upcoming tension. A “straight to the point” track, full of “ear candies” that we savor with delight.

With its broken techno beat, “For Ought I Care”, is a beautiful tour de force: a tension that keeps increasing, where each part of the track makes us climb one more step, in the middle of its obsessive synth line, to end in a slow and magnificent deconstruction (or destruction?) of its texture.

With “Ruin”, we descend back into a mental and throbbing atmosphere. Its background rhythm runs like a compulsive horse and keeps us on tenterhooks. A striking track with as its climax an absolutely mind-blowing suspended break, led by a beautiful distorted feedback that gives goosebumps.

“Dead and Gone”, a condensed version of the EP’s spirit and energy, is a dancefloor killer. Driven by a roll of distorted toms in a slight delay, quickly joined by the off-beat ride, the track unfolds at the whim of totally hypnotic synth line. Nntblst shows us once again his keen sense of the break with a transposition that makes the head spin to start again in full force. We love it. This last track brilliantly concludes the journey we have been embarked on.

“After me, the deluge” is undoubtedly a mature, rich and striking EP that we can’t wait to hear in the darkness of the dance-floors.

Machine Ouverte is a label focused on the production and distribution of releases that are primarily played and recorded live. Capturing freshness and spontaneity, showcasing the “rough” side, and bringing out surprises, the label aims to highlight the unique moment of live performance as a key element in music practice and creation.

Machine Ouverte aims to place this performative aspect, improvisation, and direct experimentation at the heart of the creative process. The majority of composition and writing are concentrated in the preparation and execution phase of the live performance. Editing becomes secondary and only serves to prepare the tracks for release. While production often leaves ample room for editing, perfecting, and transforming a piece, Machine Ouverte emphasizes the raw energy of the live performance. The live performance contains surprises and happy accidents. The label values these imperfections and aims to preserve the specificities of the performance during production.

With a techno resonance, the releases freely explore a wide range of electronic music genres.

Fascinated by the hypnotic power and physicality of the sound they produce, Valentin Rocher plays electronic music on modular synths. Parallel to the live project Silicon Vallée with Fausto, he explores his instrument in search of the accident, playing with the digressions it allows. He distorts the sound by hand with sensitivity. Surprises and the unexpected are the driving force behind his playing and compositions. He takes us with generosity in his soundscapes where we walk with curiosity.
