Beginning with the shuddering pure tones of opener “Corkscrew”, which looks back to previous guitar-only releases such as Suspension, the album’s next two pieces show a progressive broadening of the instrumental palette and a corresponding move away from textural abstraction and sustained tones towards more traditional notions of musicality. Incorporating subtle layers of strings, keyboards, percussion over a bedrock of his signature guitar tones, in retrospect this album can be seen as the beginning of a broadening and evolution in Ambarchi’s work that would lead to his acclaimed, densely layered epics for Editions Mego, Quixotism and Hubris. Originally released on CD on Touch in 2004 and reissued on Southern Lord as a limited double-LP in 2006 during Ambarchi’s tenure as a member of Sunn O))), Grapes From The Estate was a landmark release for Ambarchi, seeing him expand his sonic palette beyond the clipped, bass-heavy electric guitar tones he was known for at that point. Oren Ambarchi: Grapes from the Estate (Black Truffle) LPīlack Truffle make Oren Ambarchi’s Grapes From The Estate available once more on vinyl. Art and design by Roope Eronen and David Coquelin. Èlg’s first release for fellow Francophone freaks at Jean Carval and Low Jack’s Editions Gravats. Taken in context of Roope Eronen’s artwork - a naive illustration of smiling cone faces on a bouncy castle - each listener’s perception of Vu Du Dôme is bound to differ from the next in an all too rare and precious way that’s testament to the genius avant-garde vision of its mercurial creator. Combining pointedly purposed production and cryptic incantation, he acts as a souterrain psycho-pomp relaying energies from one reality to another, taking care not to stray too far explicitly in either direction and hold his ground ambiguously with the nous of an ancient Greek play or the kind of pathos and logic likely to baffle a computer. A dusty revenant, an epileptic bard, a peaceful messenger: Èlg plays all those roles simultaneously. Forming a bridge between improbable dimensions of musique concrète and chanson, or electro-acoustic and literary spheres, on Vu Du Dôme Èlg riddles his music to life with literal and metaphorical take on sound poetry blending French language vocals with glossolalic babble against quietly enigmatic backdrops whose low, shifting lighting and mid-fi resolution lends them to comparison with illusive theater stage designs as much as the overgrown niches of the imagination explored by Luc Ferrari or Èlg’s Reines D’Angleterre bandmate Ghédalia Tazartès before him. Leading listeners up the garden path after the Mauve Zone album (NP 021LP, 2016), the French-Belgian artist’s latest album feels like a stroll around a topiary maze at twilight on a warm night, with Èlg acting as a spectral protagonist narrating/ranting in first person while a supporting cast including Catherine Hershey, Borja Flames, and Ernest Bergez only make the trip more unfathomable. Mutant troubadour Laurent Gérard, aka Èlg, makes an ideal addition to the misfits at Editions Gravats with Vu Du Dôme, a patently strange record resembling a sort of cryptic opera or the dramaturgy of a waking dream. Also includes a scan of the LP’s original Nonesuch-edition liner notes.įile Under: Electronic, Buchla, Essential Grooves Featuring rarely-seen, newly-scanned photos of Morton Subotnick in his Bleecker Street studio where “Silver Apples…” was recorded.
