Barbara Dang, Muzzix

After a first album made up of 11 pieces from Tombstones by Michael Pisaro-Liu — works with delicate tones and dusty melodies that wrap us in an intimate atmosphere — the musicians of the Muzzix collective, brought together under the direction of Barbara Dang, present this second recording, which completes the entire collection. This new opus continues the sonic exploration: timbres become more diverse, textures thicken, and silence — in its rawest materiality or its faintest breaths — becomes a full-fledged actor, both a partner in play and a space for listening.

About this album, Michael Pisaro-Liu told the musicians: “It sounds wonderfully good, played and recorded with great beauty. I am deeply moved by this album. There are so many brilliant moments, and the pieces are performed with a sense of discovery.” Early reactions also highlight a sincere and subtle approach: “an almost tactile closeness in listening,” “a perfect balance between the musicians,” and “a unique evocative power.” This second volume stands out for the same attention to detail, the same joy in playing, and an enduring passion for this work.
