Pre-Order: Jules Negrier - Iris Crackled Like Eyelids / All Solids Melt Into [LP]

Jules NÉGRIER « An Iris Crackled Like Eyelids »In An Iris Crackled Like Eyelids, Jules Négrier explores two movements, two inner moments separated by the suspended time of an eyelid 'crackling'. The first movement begins as a story ends, with a release of raw emotions, then blossoms into a broad surface of harmonic divergences. The second movement reintroduces a crossover of rhythms, torsions, descents and ascents to reveal a paradoxical space that unfolds in the time of an unresolved pacification. Inspiredly and intricately exposing sounds that are both diaphanous and tortuous, Jules Négrier composes a mysterious music, a music that draws from the torments of electronic matter forms and becomings that gradually gain ground in the regions of simplicity.Maria W HORN « All Solids Melt Into Aether »In All Solids Melt Into Aether, Maria W Horn weaves together chords created using an organ pushed to it's limits with the relentless textures of computer-generated sounds. Between the extreme, cold precision of the electronic tones and the instability of the warm organ chords subject to pressure variations, a silent drama unfolds, giving rise to a complex world composed of harmonic states which, from their formation to their collapse, induce a powerful and poignant metaphor, conjuring up images of a perpetual, immemorial struggle. This struggle is the one that takes place, every moment, between two opposing energies: one forming the desire for a stable state, seeking a fragile balance, an energy constrained and contradicted, relentlessly, by the forces of entropy and chaos. In this respect, Maria W Horn delivers, with All Solids Melt Into Aether, a work of evocative and introspective power that is truly fascinating.
