APPÄRET - Tristesse Apotropaïque

Audiofile

Label : Nostalgie De La Boue [ndlb#203], Ivory Coast, 2025

APPÄRET is the manifestation of three instruments that came together by chance one December afternoon : Jeanne Gorisse's double bass, Julien Goussina's piano and Marina Levallois' setup of a synthesizer, pedals and a soundboard. There was magic in this spontaneous association—magic and a touch of childhood, too, with the rediscovered joy of playing for the first time with grown-up toys. Joy never is that far away.

Recorded live in Lorfou in December .024, just before the winter solstice. Spontaneous mixing and playful mastering by Éliane Blaise @Violet Intimacy Studio in February.

Label : Nostalgie De La Boue [ndlb#183], Ivory Coast, 2023

СТРАХ I РЕKА (Marina Goussina & Éric Cordier) forges landscapes animated by a warm breeze and traversed by chimeras. Creating sound entities from scratch by assembling nauseating inflorescences with melodic sadness, it seeks to counter the appalling vanity of the world.

СТРАХ I РЕKА elaborates furtive rituals to provoke noisy exsanguinations from electronic conglomerates; synthesizer blasts becoming glacier-sharp frozen rivers.

"Ghost Fractal" is a conflagration of smoking stars, transfiguring our realities into myriad colors and textures. It can be consumed during a heavy sleep.

Tracklist :

1. Ghost (11:36)

2. Fractal (5:52)

3. Ycta (16:08)

4. Myca (9:31)
