Far far away in the infamous Saint-Etienne Kingdom live and breath Anouar Redjem Cheibane, Guillaume Lamorte & Jacques Satre. The three members of Le Marais surfaced from the gloomy waters of 2020 fall to gather balearic, folk, new age and ambient trance inspirations over an amazing eponymous LP on French Besoins Premiers.

Following the label taste in flowery, poetic music (with Organizatsiya's 'Strane Leoni', Lenny Frings' 'Ontological Outlines' or Modeux des Cieux's 'Constant Run'...), the trio definitely defined its own touch with this 11-track release, made of dreamy synths, autotuned lyrism & spoken words, tremendous electric guitar leads and nebulous sounds, set against an ogre-and-fairy-tales medieval background.

300-vinyl edition to be released during the summer:

℘ཞɛɱıɛཞɛ ≈ Le Marais - Drain The Swamp [Besoins Premiers]

"The Days Long" from Duane Pitre's new solo album "Omniscient Voices" - Out Nov 19th, 2021 on IMPREC.

Pre-order available via Imprec.com

Duane Pitre returns to Imprec with Omniscient Voices, an articulate, intense and emotionally resonant set of five pieces for justly tuned piano and electronics.

Omniscient Voices is a uniquely distinct work that follows Pitre's trilogy of releases which culminated with 2015’s Bayou Electric and included the critically acclaimed Feel Free (2012) and Bridges (2013) albums. Where those albums were rooted in long form pieces, Omniscient Voices is a collection of shorter pieces, offering more harmonic variety than previous works, with a unique sound and feel that is still unmistakably the work of Duane Pitre.

In 2019, after a five year period where Pitre did not focus on outward facing music, but instead on his own personal practice, a small idea in the form of a question came to him: would the combination of his latest computer- and electronic-based experiments, used in conjunction with justly tuned piano, produce interesting results; simply put, would it “work”? Concurrently, Pitre was studying a handful of Morton Feldman scores for their focus on tonal clusters, reading a book on Arvo Pärt’s life and work, and contemplating the pulse-based rhythms of Steve Reich and Phillip Glass.

In 2020, with no intention of making a new album, the composer tried to answer this question. The results would spawn five pieces that would become Omniscient Voices. On this new work, Pitre finds himself giving equal priority to both piano and electronics, utilizing his Max/MSP-based generative network to real-time convert precomposed piano motifs, into data, which is then used to communicate with two polyphonic, microtonal hardware synthesizers whose patches Pitre authored; this process generates the electronic component of the album. Pitre also utilizes controlled improvisation to interact with the piano-reactive electronics in a spontaneous and inspired manner, going back and forth between these two pianistic approaches. In all, this approach creates a “musical feedback loop” of sorts.

Despite Omniscient Voices being the culmination of 15 years of hard work and inspiration, this beautiful album somehow materialized in a natural, intuitive and effortless way (like any artist's best work.)

Mastered and cut by Golden and pressed at RTI for maximum fidelity.

Artist's statement:
“When making the pieces that would become Omniscient Voices, I often viewed the piano as human action, a single note becoming a single gesture that has the potential to change the electronic environment, the electronics becoming the environment surrounding that human in the natural world, who then has the power to change their actions based on their surroundings. All actions have consequences. The interconnectedness of everything. Single actions making waves of change.”

RIYL: Arvo Pärt, Morton Feldman, Steve Reich, Phillip Glass

Lyrics

うなばらまであと少し 
うなばらまであと少しだけ　
行こう (着こう)
落ちて (うなばらまで)
転がり落ちて (弾むステップ)
落ちていくステップ (弾むステップ)
いびつなステップで (落ちていくステップ)
行こう

転がり落ちて
いびつなステップで
転がり落ちて
いびつなステップで
うなばらまであと少しだけ (行こう)


Almost there to the ocean
Almost there to the ocean
Let’s go (Let's be there)

Falling (Toward the ocean)
Rolling down (Bouncy steps)
Steps of falling (Bouncy steps)
With the awkward steps (Steps of falling)
Let’s go

Rolling down
With the awkward steps
Rolling down
With the awkward steps
Almost there to the ocean (Let’s go)

Läuten der Seele - Ich Ging Durch Einen Grasgrünen Wald

Icarus 2ID2

Chronicles of the Last Light Spirals, Vol. I" is a neo-noir journey in neon, where the spirit of the ‘90s collides with the darkness of futuristic hip-hop and electronic spirals. Gritty beats, deep bass, echoes of boom bap, glitched samples, and the smoky streets of a night city – all woven into the story of the last light trying to break through the darkness. This is the soundtrack for walking down wet asphalt in a hoodie, with a shadow at your back and the unshakable feeling that the city is speaking to you

Chronicles of the Last Light Spirals, Vol. I" to neo-noirowa podróż w neonach, gdzie duch lat 90’ miesza się z mrokiem futurystycznego hip-hopu i elektronicznych spiral. Brudne bity, głęboki bas, echa boom bapu, glitchowane sample i dymne ulice nocnego miasta – wszystko utkane w historię ostatniego światła, które próbuje przebić się przez mrok. To soundtrack do spaceru po mokrym asfalcie w kapturze, z cieniem za plecami i nieodpartym wrażeniem, że miasto do ciebie mówi
