CIRCULATIONS

"This is the second release from the French musician Pierre-Yves Macé (following Faux-Jumeaux released on Tzadik). Circulations pushes the limits of contemporary and electronic music with the development of the auto-sampling process around the concept of the double or replica. Macé composed in four separate stages : writing four movements for solo instruments, having only a vague idea of their possible correspondances. Then the work consisted of using the recordings of the solo performances as a basis for an electroacoustic accompaniment for each solo, creating a stretchable feedback interplay between abstract and concrete."
