"Laurent Pernice Ive known of for a long while, originally with the experimental industrial bandNox back in the 1980s, the unclassifiable PaloAlto, and many solos. Nowadays, however, heseems to be moving to altogether differentrealms of musical exploration. Whencommissioned to compose this performancework LE CORPS UTOPIQUE (thats TheUtopian Body in English) he called onmusician friend Dominique Beven to fill the role of winds player, which then led to creating amusic of acoustic and electronic texturesbetween them. About the performance, weretold In 2018, actress and dancer EmmaGustafsson and director Laurent Hatat (AnimaMotrix Company) decided to reproduce a radiolecture by French philosopher Michel Foucaulton stage by dancing it! The results are quiteengaging, and very surprising, and unlikeanything Ive heard from Laurent before. Assuch, the music here ranges from moody andabstract to lively, from sombre ritualisticmeditations to vibrant dances, sometimes itgets close in feel to Jon Hassell at his creativebest, and then sometimes unlike anything Iveheard before. In all, its quite a captivating andfascinating release." [Audion]
