Local Distorsion is a French duo formed in 2012 consisting of Cyril (vocals, lyrics, synthesizer) and Caroline (vocals, lyrics). Explicitly described as an "illusory collective concept," the project draws on surrealist and nihilist literature, metaphysics, and the aesthetics of the 1980s DIY scene as filtered through a contemporary sensibility. Rather than claiming a fixed identity, Local Distorsion operates across different group names and tonal approaches to move freely between coldwave, minimal synth-pop, and electronic experimentation, treating each release as its own self-contained world. Their relationship to the historical minimal wave tradition is less archival nostalgia than active inhabitation: the project sounds like it belongs to the era it references without being pastiche.

Situation Modulaire (Pripuzzi 003) is a one-hour journey across an LP and a 7" that demonstrates the full range of the project's capabilities, from cold and minimal wave constructions to more expansive synth-pop pieces. Released on Pripuzzi Records, the VOD sublabel dedicated to contemporary minimal electronics and avant-garde projects, in a total edition of 500 copies with the first 200 pressed on blue vinyl. VOD described it as "an absolute Must-Have for any serious collector and listener to contemporary state-of-the-art coldwave/minimalsynth-pop."
