CHRISTMAS EP OUT

"UNIVERS PHENIX (The Big Bounce)"

[Bandcamp exclusive release]

Dernier d’une série de quatre EPs, UNIVERS PHENIX (The Big Bounce) - évocation du recommencement de l’Univers (rien de moins)

Ce morceau épique et colégram marque le retour de la batterie humaine et acoustique chez Louison - par l’entremise de M. Raphaël Pannier.
Egalement au menu, d’ardents solos d’anciens collègues (Casimir Liberski - CP80 piano, Mehdi Chaïb/Benoit Crauste - saxes) et de petites touches de cordes, de trompette, de guitare, même.
Sans oublier le synthétiseur effème et la basse japonaise (enregistrée dans une boucherie musulmane).

Aux côtés des habituelles citations auto-référentielles, on trouvera du contrepoint peu rigoureux et de sidérants astro-solos.

Le retour du Jazz Virus?

NEW EP OUT

"Ace FM Gentile"

[BANDCAMP EXCLUSIVE RELEASE]

Third in a series of four EPs, ACE FM GENTILE - crypto-classical experiment

Mixing choir, strings and winds with vintage electronics, the music eschews Louison’s usual “build-up” song form in favor of more solemn and contained feelings

Soaring voices - from retromantic to atonal counterpoint
Sinuous sax and trumpet melodies from elsewhere
FM synth and Linn drum for a touch of cyberprog

"Welcome to the Church Of Louison - a cult of anagrams and retro-modern styles.
Turn your bitterness into hope - join the ACE FM GENTILE"

"Le Livre des Portes (version longue)"

[BANDCAMP EXCLUSIVE RELEASE]

Following up on 2022's Magnetic Feel, French composer/bassist Louis "Louison" de Mieulle presents a 14-min journey through the Egyptian Underworld.

First in a series of four EPs, Le Livre des Portes (=The Book of Gates) is a succession of build-ups and plateaus, emerging from mysterious repetitive incantations, through bass/drums polymetric developments, to explosive Canterbury jazz-rock.

80s sci-fi sounds meet orchestral flourishes, along with Louison’s vintage Fender and Yamaha basses.

[Le Livre des Portes is an ancient text narrating the 12 hours of the night as the Sun god RA travels through the Underworld, eventually attaining resurrection/sunrise. All this under the watchful eye of RA’s own daughter, the cat goddess Bastet.]
