Sylvain Chauveau – Singular Forms (2010) |
[Oct. 25th, 2010|10:06 pm] |
Improbable as it may seem, 'Singular Forms (Sometimes Repeated)' is
Sylvain Chauveau's first album of new material in five years, and if
you've ever found yourself marvelling at the music of David Sylvian, or
indeed the solo work of Martin Gore - this album will blow your mind,
referencing both artists combined with a stripped Piano/Electronic
arrangement reminiscent of Alva Noto's work with Ryuichi Sakamoto. Chauveau presents a collection of his own songwriting, one that's
presented stripped of orchestration and the trappings of his
contemporary-classical compositions. What's left is piano, some
strictly minimal electronics and a free-roaming central vocal.
