So here’s the latest happenstances of our favourite miscreants of improvised music. If you thought “speed jazz” & “death ambient” musics were never really what they claim, if you think computers don’t make nearly the amount of noise their CPU should allow them to, then you need morceaux_de_machines.
Very little silence, for sure. But very much of noise accumulations in an increasingly dynamic fashion. With liberum arbitrium the duo reinvents improvised computer music with so much brio, we’ve got to wonder what could stop them now…
Bruit. Musique. Musique faite de bruit.
François Gariépy, Voir (Québec)
… electroacoustic to ambient soundscapes to more experimental noisy tunes… made me like a lot the rich flavours of this surprisingly good encounter.
Nicolas , Absurdities (Greece)
Bruitiste sans être extrême mais surtout éminemment intelligent, ce disque élève l’art de l’assaut sonore dans les hautes sphères…
François Couture, Ici Montréal (Québec)
morceaux_de_machines is a virtual dream machine, injecting the listener with such a wild array of visions that peyote and mescaline becomes futile accessories.
Ingvar Loco Nordin, Sonoloco Record Reviews (Sweden)
… morceaux_de_machines tisse des atmosphères tendues, catharsis numérique de processeurs furibonds et de lignes de programmation effrénées.
Julien Jaffré, Jade (France)
Noise played at a furious rate, with furious intensity.
Frans de Waard, Vital (The Netherlands)
The end of the Napalm Jazz radio show on CKIA, in 2000 (which also led to a long hiatus for the same-named group) hasn’t discouraged the members of the group, who continued and multiplied their collaborations, internally and with increasingly more likeminded musicians. But the infernal duo of A_dontigny and Érick d’Orion, this hard pit always being broken up for the sake of sublime sonic pleasure, is still around: it is now known as morceaux_de_machines. → Full bio
