CLEMENS HOURRIERE Schallplatten & CDs

Review: RECOMMENDED
The information readily available about this release is, at best, pretty limited. What we can tell you is that Mobius was first conceived as an 'aerial ballet' by Cie XY, who worked with the choreographer Rachid Ouramdane, leaving music to the established partnership of Jonathan Fitoussi and Clemens Hourriere. Perhaps what's more important than all that, though, is the central building block for much of what's here.

Billed as "a brand new episode in their exploration of the legendary modular synthesiser - The Buchla", the result is a collection of work that could quite easily sit at home next to the likes of Fort Romeau or the lighter end of Kompakt's output. At times, well at home on dancefloors in darkened rooms, in other moments lush and serene in the extreme.
