Today, we release our 36th work called ‘Elegy‘ from our colleague and long-time supporter from France Philippe Petit.
“Elegy… Like many of us in the world, I have been feeling sad about what is happening in Ukraine, getting worse and worse, and reaching a climax with the recent moves from Trump !!! Such injustice aroused in me a profound emotion, and I decided to work on a purely electronic piece, typically elegiac, devoid of the specific attributes of a dramatic form.
A constantly changing sound material, compositions of textures in which fundamental factors play a predominant role: a continuous interplay of harmonic transformations and an ever-varying dosage of amplitudes… An economy of means towards the simplicity and elegance of proportions.”
– Philippe Petit
Philippe Petit has been supporting left field music since 1983 (animating radio programs, editing ‘zines + running his labels Pandemonium Rdz. and BiP_HOp Music). Feeling lucky to release on several international labels, he likes to be introduced as a « Musical-Travel-Agent ». Relying on electricity/amplification to produce, manipulate, and work on sound material, but trying his best to make sure that each album differs from the previous one, trying to avoid routine and surprise listeners.
