Pylône

This is the third album by Laurent Perrier’s “Pylône”, Laurent’s experimental electro-acoustic project. Entirely composed and performed with modular synthesisers, it consists of 2 long tracks stretching across each side of the LP. Side A: “A jamais” was produced with the writings and sampled voice of multimedia artist Lyne Vermes. Her words are dissolved into a stream of digital treatments, creating new textures, long waves. With the use of granular synthesis it stretches out only to end up in sharp ruptures, making it an absorbing and dramatic listening experience. Side B, “Ping” was produced solely by triggering a twinpeak filter by Epoch Modular. Using a similar process to “A Jamais”. however, the result is more minimal, organic and focused on details. It delivers a fascinating audio puzzle
