MATIÈRE\MÉMOIRE – SOR 16 by Sleepless Owl Records

(FR)
“MATIERE\MEMOIRE est le premier album de Paul Void, batteur et percussionniste passé par les groupes STAMP (electro/indus) et Al-Qasar (rock oriental). Entre l’atmosphère des synthétiseurs et le martelé des percussions, le son de MATIERE\MEMOIRE s’inscrit dans la recherche d’un paysage sonore de l’univers urbain étouffant, en laissant toujours une forme de quiétude tendre le bras à l’auditeur.
Un album comme la bande son d’un film intérieur propice à la contemplation, à la croisée de l’ambient, du post-rock et de la musique improvisée.”

“MATIERE MEMOIRE is the first album by Paul Void, drummer and percussionist who played with bands STAMP (electro/indus) and Al-Qasar (eastern rock). Between the atmosphere of the synthesizers and the hammering of the percussions, the sound of MATIERE MEMOIRE is part of the search for a soundscape of the suffocating urban universe, always leaving a form of tranquility to extend the listener’s arm.
An album like the soundtrack of an inner film conducive to contemplation, at the crossroads of ambient, post-rock and improvised music.”
