Two Montréal improvisers recorded live. A lot more happens here than on most noise-oriented records. For one, the noise is varied a lot, and goes somewhere. It does more than try to shock. And it doesn’t sound like dreck. I like the hyperreggae of média tactique which like a lot of the outing here is noise music you can follow. What’s more, the large majority of the material here enchants and surprises, and makes cacophony pleasurable. Hoodathunkit?

“… einen hochgradig beklemmenden Klangraum…”

[…] »Télépathie« reprösentiert einen der spannendsten Aspekte zeitgenössischer Tonkunst, nömlich den der elektronischen Liveimprovisation. Und was Diane Labrosse (Sampler) und A_dontigny (Computer) hier bieten, ist eine der dichtesten und fesselndsten Aufnahmen seit langem. Angesiedelt irgendwo zwischen Ambient, Noise und Glitch, manovrieren die beiden durch einen hochgradig beklemmenden Klangraum, der die perfekte Untermalung für ein Zusammentreffen zwischen Freddy Krueger und Mad Max bieten würde. Aber nur, wenn beide inzwischen promoviert haben.

This, the result of two well-traversed Montréal improvisers A_dontigny (computer) and Diane Labrosse (sampler), is a fine listen. Certainly not easy-listening, this palpitating soundtrack verges at times on Richard H Kirk solo material or even the radio works of Achim Wollscheid. The result: a blender of crossed radio-waves, submerged deep-sea musical instruments and found-sounds that’s best listened to on random. The four tracks on this album each expel their own interesting story of visceral sonic shapes and l’il bitty melody, shake-ups, living science fiction and musique actuelle that individually deserve your full attention.

“… a powerful and ever shifting web of sound and texture.”

Four long electronic improv tracks from this Montréal duo, each with an established pedigree in avant performance: this CD is a recording of a concert that took place at Casa del Popolo in April 2002. There is not a musical instrument in sight: Dontigny manipulates a computer, while Labrosse uses a sampler. The result is a stew of noise, at times oppressive, at others subdued - a powerful and ever shifting web of sound and texture. Ever inventive, the glitchy first track t.s.f. is for me the best of the bunch, with snatches of classical music put through an industrial washing machine on fast cycle. There seems to be a lot of decent music coming out of Canada. Here’s some more of it.
