Adoct - Ouvre-Glace (2021) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Based on an initial idea by Gordon Pym (or was it Klaxon?), and taking advantage of the temporary presence of a second piano in the concert venue of la malterie, two trios from the Muzzix collective came together in late 2020 to create a quintet…

The acoustic version of Toc (see Qeqertarsuatsiaat – Circum-Disc 2015) takes on the energy and electricity of the original trio, exploring soundscapes full of freedom. The trio Abdou/Dang/Orins (see Lescence / Gmatique – Circum-Disc 2020) plays the organic and the infinitely small.

On December 15, 2020, we were waiting for the reopening of cultural venues in France after a complicated year. The meeting, unprecedented, of the five musicians was to be done in public, finally it takes place without, but microphones are set. A first, without instructions, we record, we will see what happens…

Sometimes minimal, music under tension, the five explore their instruments, and are surprised by their interactions. With distance and irony on a degraded period, on its language and its codes, Adoct plays the apnea, with a recording where the time is stretched, elastic, in suspension.

Lyrical surges or suspended trances, we find the humid and vegetal atmospheres: urban or sylvan crossings, reliefs and textures, harmonic coincidences. The same thirst for play and for collective, to resist the inessential forced withdrawal of the moment.
