about

{ENG, french below}

The three pieces of this release are the first recordings by the duo of Bertrand Denzler on tenor saxophone and Léo Dupleix on electronics, vibrating speaker and floor tom. The two musicians work together since 2017.

The first piece, «Plateaux», is a collaborative composition that meticulously explores three low notes of the saxophone and their interactions with a twin, a digital organ vibrating on a stretched membrane.

«Positif» and «Tessiture» are propositions from each of the members of the duo. They both work on the range of the saxophone, considered as a possible path in the first one and as a block with a shifting thickness in the second one.

An exploration of a living sound matter made of sustained tones, the three pieces form a triptych of changing spaces in which the listener is invited to dive in.

{FRA}

Ces pièces sont les premiers enregistrements du duo réunissant Bertrand Denzler, saxophone ténor, et Léo Dupleix, électronique, enceinte vibrante et tom basse. Ils travaillent ensemble depuis 2017.

La première, «Plateaux», est une composition collaborative qui explore minutieusement trois notes graves du saxophone et leurs interactions avec un jumeau, un orgue numérique vibrant sur une membrane tendue.

«Positif» et «Tessiture» sont quant à elles des propositions de chacun des membres du duo. Elles s’inscrivent dans un travail sur l’étendue des notes du saxophone, prise dans l’une comme cheminement possible et dans l’autre comme bloc à l’épaisseur variable.

Exploration d’une matière vivante constituée de hauteurs tenues, les trois pièces forment un triptyque aux espaces sonores changeants dans lesquels l’auditeur est invité à se perdre.
