Fenêtre Ovale is the membrane that forms the limit between the middle and inner-ear. The precise location of the transition between the acoustic and psycho-acoustic, between the physical nature of the sound wave and its subjective perception. In it, we see the frontier between mechanic and the imaginary.”
“We are happy to present the second part of the Fenêtre Ovale project. After a first well-received record which brought together composer Karl Naegelen and improvisers Eve Risser and Joris Ruhl, the group expands with the arrival of percussionist Toma Gouband and violinist Amaryllis Billet. Thanks to these new sound possibilities, the musicians on this new volume extend and deepen their meticulous quest for an acoustic alchimy, changing a violin, clarinet, piano and percussion into a starling’s flight, fluid mechanics, a troglodyte temple, gold, or lead. Mystical, trivial, finely carved, the music takes shape through the tension between the strict precision of writing and the exciting fragilty of the musicians’ playing, which Karl Naegelen carefully included in his partition.”
