More Info

"On Taalem's side label, Kokeshidisk we find a collection of Toy Bizarre pieces from the years 1996 to 2000. Toy Bizarre, since long the name used by Cedric Peyronnet, has worked inside electronics and field recordings since the time when nobody knew what microsound is. Transforming field recording using analogue synthesizers and sound effects, later on moving to the use of computers. Toy Bizarre started in a time when releasing music on cassette was still a good alternative, so many of these pieces are no longer available. This collection has eight of these pieces, in a non-chronological order, more from the 1997 area than the year 2000. It's a very nice collection of pieces that show that he was ahead of his time, in using silence and minimalist approaches, but also in using drone like material as well as acoustic sources. If you are a fan, this will update your collection, and if you are not a fan yet, it's time that you became one." [FdW / Vital Weekly]
