"FOUDRE! emerges as a rare seismic force created in 2015 by three major activists from the independent scene: Frédéric D. Oberland (Oiseaux-Tempête), Romain Barbot (Saåad), and Paul Régimbeau (Mondkopf). They are portrayed by international press as "super-depth sounders", "laboratories of the unheard generating a fascinating sonic magma with rugged beauty", or "Badalamenti and Vangelis covered in dust and gravel". Their collective ethos is characterized by an insatiable appetite for urgency, boundless experimentation, and the spontaneous combustion of live performances.

"Melancholic. Intense. Deep. Epic. “Voltæ (Chthulucene)” is a tribute to electricity and telluric forces, a complete celebration of life, a symbiosis for an epistemic shift. “Voltæ (Chthulucene)” is the sixth opus by FOUDRE!, a trio featuring core members from Oiseaux-Tempête, Saåad & Mondkopf. 
As the first work recorded in studio, “Voltæ (Chthulucene)” is the virtuosic result of a recording session orchestrated by Camille Jamain, sound engineer and acoustician. The album emerges as a powerful electronic masterpiece, consisting of 8 tracks whose narrative dimension evokes the score of a sci-fi movie, transporting us through the labyrinths of a neo-Lovecraftian vision, into a post-AKIRA world where human and non-human life could (re)become possible, where all forms of (sur)living beings could cohabit once again... 

Since their purely exhilarating experience at the Visions Festival in 2019, FOUDRE! has undergone a delightful metamorphosis. The creative forces of the three-headed monster get unleashed. The musicians seek less the mental than the physical, embracing a frantic, corporeal, and direct turn. With “Voltæ (Chthulucene)”, the trio, identified as drone ambient, takes a twist resolutely post-techno. Emancipatory alloy of English rave, punk urgency, and electronica, with strange and electrifying echoes of ancient trad sounds. Hybrid and telepathic orchestra, composed of analog synthesizers and modular systems organically connected to acoustic instruments (baglama, winds, percussion, vocals), forming a kind of neural network twinkling at the heart of the night. 

Between contemplation, lightning flashes and illumination : the pulse, the rhythm. Hallucinated time fraction, progressing through a 3D landscape, stroboscopic and technicolor effects. A tale of struggles and resistances on universal and microscopic scale, images of cybernetic fauna and flora, a psychedelic futuristic delirium where hybrid characters of human/machine/vegetable could start to dance, mutate, and merge within everything around them. 

An intensity, an elegance reminiscent of Pita’s records on Editions Mego, the originality and intelligence of the music of Autechre, the legendary electronic abstract duo from Manchester, the energy and fervour of Black Dice, the technoid noise rock trio from Brooklyn, as well as the softness and beauty of the Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto. 

The album cover is signed by Brulex, featuring creatures and chimeras, with a concrete and colorful stroke, in correspondence with the album and the U-turn of FOUDRE!, decisive and brilliant."

EPISODE VII ‘DISSONANCE’

- I walk through the streets of this vast metropolis, losing myself in its many
sounds. Street after street, the buildings, like enormous guardian demons
clad in multi-coloured screens, watch my every step, our every step. This
crossing I’m about to take is filled with hundreds upon hundreds of people at
every moment of the day, and I move in unison with them, creating a single
harmony. Right, left, a glance at my mobile, I keep going.
-
- But this time, I notice a shadow, just beside the traffic light pole on the
opposite side. It moves in sharp, jerky motions, out of sync—right, left—a
fraction of a second too soon, or too late. It catches my attention. A second
ago it was blurred, now ultra-clear—a regular woman, dark hair, grey clothes;
she could be me on a dreary November afternoon, leaving work. And yet, her
unsynchronised movements and unstable form hold my gaze. As I stare, she
lifts her eyes and locks onto mine. Hypnotised, I stop on the zebra crossing,
while the human river flows around her. Moving slowly but still in those
irregular jerks, the woman comes closer. Nearer and nearer, a feeling of
unease fills me, yet I cannot take a step forward. Now she’s here, right in front
of me. Her pupils fixed on mine vibrate almost imperceptibly at an intense
frequency, yet with no order. Suddenly, she seizes my hand. “Dissonate.” I
blink, and she’s gone.
-
- The light is about to turn red, and the last pedestrians are hurrying across. I
hurry too, but feel both heavy and weightless. The world flows around me,
and I am out of step. People extend their strides in slow-motion steps, yet
somehow impossibly fast. I feel as if every movement of mine is submerged
in water with opposing currents. The sound of the traffic light becomes
piercing, then low; the sky brightens, then dims, as if its exposure control has
gone mad. I can no longer tune myself to any rhythm. Days pass both quickly
and slowly, leaving deep yet faint marks I can no longer decipher. And
yet—do I want, or not want, to resonate with it?

softi - midnight madness

Une sélection de musiques qui m&amp#39;enchantent ces temps ou qui me hantent depuis longtemps. Il y a pas mal de trucs acoustiques avec des sons qui vibrent et aussi un peu d&amp#39;électronique. Des voix jolies. Ci-contre un polatouche de Sibérie. Bonne écoute  (:


ANTIRÖSTI w/ DJ Chèvrefeuille  (29/11/24)

A dark fusion of electro, industrial, and experimental soundscapes, this album pulses with raw energy and tension. Complex beats, distorted synths, and atmospheric textures create an immersive sonic experience, capturing the relentless drive and inner turmoil of a soldier on the edge. Each track is a journey through chaos, glitch, and tension—a vivid reflection of the madness lurking beneath the surface.
