With Geisteswissenschaften, A_dontigny approches directly or metaphorically an artist (Koons, Turner), a movement (American and French abstractionism), an author (Nietzsche, Foucault, Derrida, Frege) or even a concept (such as the impossible to translate “Wirkungsgeschichtesbewusstsein”) and produces a disc which is in parallel to ‘traditional’ electroacoustics and (industrial, punk and techno sub-cultures) electronica. A feast made with 3 accomplices: Paul Dolden, Diane Labrosse, and Jon Vaughn.

On this album, The Unireverse propose an excellent blend of tasty covers (The Beatles, Donna Summer, Brainticket) and wild original tracks.
