Richard Pinhas & Etienne Jaumet Vents Solaires

An epic odyssey, a space travel, orchestrated in two parts by 70's French electronic underground legend Richard Pinhas and his spiritual son Etienne Jaumet, who's dream to record with one of his heroes has finally come true. The two met at a series of concerts given last year, and they had the luminous idea to records their improvisations while rehearsing. The result, this "Vents Solaires" (Solar Winds), has naturally imposed itself to me as something essential to be released on Versatile.The crushing noise of Pinhas' guitars meets the magnetism of Etienne's rhythms. The structures are hypnotic. Sometimes the guitars take over, but Etienne always comes back around; the collusion is obvious, the magic is happening.We slowly enter the music, then the psychedelic vortex is operating, and time stretches. The listening touches to a sonic experience, put in space brilliantly by Nicolas Chaix aka I:Cube, who we entrusted with the mixing of these tracks.This maxi is in a way the encounter of the 3 masters of abstract… all in their own domain.
