*2025 stock. 49 copies limited edition* MMLI is proud to present Ermitage de la Fumée Violette, the newest sonic exploration by French composer Céleste Gatier. Renowned for her delicate approach to electronic and electroacoustic music, Gatier draws inspiration from her wide-ranging experiences, including extensive research in Japan, blending fragility, immersive intimacy, and the unexpected.
Conceived as a refuge for peace, Ermitage de la Fumée Violette envelops listeners in vibrating tapestries of sound—an intricate layering of disharmonies, ruptures, and bursts that collectively shape a contemplative, atmospheric journey. Each composition reflects Gatier's deep work with paper-based electronic instrumentarium, forging sonic situations in which delicacy and noise meet and transform.
Praised by the experimental music community and featured in outlets like Revue & Corrigée, Gatier's work pushes boundaries and cultivates the strange and the beautiful, inviting listeners into moments of quiet introspection and heightened awareness.
