Releasenotes:
German ambient-connaisseur and soundpoet Marsen Jules (aka Martin Juhls) is well
known for his releases on City Center Offices, Kompakt or his own label Oktaf
Records. On stage he often combines his atmospheric soundscapes with live
musicians. A steady formation is the Marsen Jules Trio, which features the twin
brothers Anwar Alam and Jan-Philipp Alam on piano and violins accompanied by
Jules' restrained live-sampling, bowed percussions and singing wine glasses. For
tours and festivals the Trio already played in the US as well as in Canada and
all over Europe.

With their debut-album "PrΘsence Acousmatique" on Oktaf Records the musicians
bring their "acoustic presence" to CD for the first time. It features six highly
atmospheric soundsculptures between ambient, avantgarde-classic and modern jazz.
Whereas the opening "OEillet Parfait / OEillet Sauvage" is still a variation of
a track from Jules' "Les Fleurs" album, all other tracks are composed for the
Trio or developed out of the cooperation itself. Two tracks also feature
saxophone player Roger D÷ring (Dictaphone) as a guest musician. The combination
of dark scapes and saxophone on "Histoire de la nuit" and "╔clipse" makes one
think of an ambient version of Bohren und der Club Ghore. The abstract
"Excalibur" and "Maison en Vitre" remind of early avantgarde-classic and
twelve-tone music and the closing "Les trains stortent de la gare" brings a
bittersweet composition for piano and violin hold together by sparkling
percussions.
