Dr. "Buzz" Frenzy (Matthew J Hesse) thumbnail

Dr. "Buzz" Frenzy (Matthew J Hesse) An auditory exploration of voice and instruments in an experimental/free vein. SO compelling. Voice, clarinet/reed, guitar (and all used percussively), combining narrative with controlled breath and vocalizations over sometimes droning, moaning instrumentation, often approaching musique concrête. But a strong emotional component transcends mere description of this work. Oddly and sometimes darkly beautiful, fascinating, otherworldly. Not easy listening, but well worth your time and open ears.

released June 4, 2021

Recorded by Pierre-Henri Thiébaut on December 16, 2016
at la Muse en Circuit, Alfortville, France.
Mastered by Pierre Etchandy, September 2020 to March 2021.
A co-production with «Tout Corps d’Etat».
Cover artwork by Catherine Jauniaux.

At the instigation of Catherine Jauniaux, three musicians meet around a book by Marguerite Duras. Three invented characters inspire music, a pulse, a harmony... through their silhouettes, their relationships, their movements, the space in which they are standing, between the sea, themselves, and an idea of civilization.
A triangular composition that is formed, deformed and reformed,
in accordance with the tides. Music that tells of the wandering of souls on the brink of existence.
Lines, dots, strata, melodies and hidden words, impacts shown, acoustic obviously, to meet in the simplest and best way: playing/being together.
This trio does not fail to amaze us with the fluidity of its sound, its
sentimental and human generosity and amorous conviction.
Aren't voice, clarinet and guitar the perfect instruments to help us
reach these dreams?

The trio was recorded by Pierre-Henri Thiébaut at the end of 2016 after having toured with this program in 2015 from Paris to Moscow via Draguignan, Berlin and Saint Petersburg.
Then everyone resumed their journey, following other meetings, involved in other projects. A story on hold...
It was finally in 2020 that by mutual agreement and deploring this state of affairs, we entrusted the music to Pierre Etchandy so that he could finalize the sound and allow us to present it to a larger audience than the sole lucky ones having been able to attend concerts by the trio.
Which he did with great care and especially love, we're back to it.
The story continues...

Artlessly Falling
by Mary Halvorson's Code Girl

supported by 15 fans who also own “L'amour”

Mary Halvorson is a genius composer and guitarist who has developed her own musical language, and with Code Girl she has incorporated poetry into that language. Incredible compositions and lyricism (each track is a different kind of poem). Halvorson's playing is as great as usual, and all the other members of the band sound great. Robert Wyatt's singing in particular works extremely well in the tracks he's featured. Highly, highly recommend. rat

Pillars
by Tyshawn Sorey

supported by 15 fans who also own “L'amour”

Total mastery of patience, time, and drama create a constantly engaging journey that never gets tiresome or same-y: in fact the harder you listen the better it gets! Somehow Sorey et al. find a way to combine the deep listening and spontaneous interaction of the best jazz with the sense of every tone and sound being worth a universe of listening, which could be equally from Cage and Feldman or the accompaniment to an ancient ritual. The recording/engineering is absolutely perfect as well. Giles
