Sonoris

This 4 CD box edition collects all concert musics by French composer of electroacoustic music Michèle Bokanowski, eleven visionary and avant-garde works composed in 1974 and 2020.

A musical encounter between two important and uncompromising figures in contemporary experimental music in France.

First encounter of two essential figures of the French underground and alternative music scene.

Sonoris releases both on vinyl and CD, with a new mastering by Giuseppe Ielasi, some important works from the influential and respected artist Steve Roden. These tracks, which mix conceptual composition and musicality, transcend the ambient or lowercase categories too quickly applied to his music, due to its ghostly beauty.

A 4-hour work recorded at Steamroom (composer's studio) between 2017 and 2018: a hypnotic, multi-faceted, labyrinthine piece which flows as slowly as a river while speeding back through memory, and shows all the talent of Jim O'Rourke.

"Jeu du monde" is a collection of around twenty musique concrète pieces which spreads over more than six hours of music. Each CD has been designed as an audio film which tells a full story.

Inexplicable hours opens on the one hand new ways based on field recordings, static electronics and distant pulsations, and continues on the other hand the exploration of drone and ambient but in a brighter, less aggressive, less tense way, almost reminding sometimes Brian Eno's Obscure series.

A selection of unreleased or hard-to-locate works from 2003 to 2008, a very prolific and creative period for the Californian artist.

A collection of works dating from 2012 to 2016, documenting one of the key figures of today american avant-garde at his peak of creativity, nicely remastered by Giuseppe Ielasi.

L'art de la fuite is a selection of first recordings originally released on selftitled homemade tape in 1995. Mainly composed with turntables and prepared records (with various other sources), these recordings have laid the foundation for his future work as turntabilist / improviser / composer. 20 years later, this unique blend of musique concrète and post-industrial still sounds fresh today.
