CROUTON NO.29
LIONEL MARCHETTI:
"RED DUST"
3x3" CD set
Years in the making, RED DUST is a three disc boxed set of new
work from this master practitioner of musique concrete.
Elaborate in its aural presentation, this study reveals
Marchetti's most focused and exciting work to date. Composed
in part with Y⌠ko Higashi, the material reveals sounds old and
new, acting as a modern looking glass into a tapestry of ideas
still grappled with today; human attraction, narcissism, and
the function of the artist. The music flows story-like over
the course of the three discs; a novel-esque concept/approach
to a triptych visual presentation. The combination of
ridiculously old recordings melting into obviously modern
sounds makes this listening an experience to ponder on many
levels. Dissect the layers and enjoy.
Each disc within RED DUST is accompanied by a note card with
corresponding details, as well as a separate text card written
by Olivier Capparos regarding the work of Lionel Marchetti.
Housed inside a small matte red box, the entire package is
then wrapped in a fine delicate mulberry paper. Limited to a
pressing of only 300.
"Lionel Marchetti was born in France in 1967. His interest in
music resides in the qualities of sound. He is one of a
handful of artists who in the mid-to-late 1990s took
electroacoustic music out of academic studios and into the
free improvisation ring. A scholar who worked at the CFMI
(Lyon) and GRM (Paris) studios and published a book on
acousmatic composer Michel Chion, Marchetti developed a set-up
of microphones and loudspeakers he uses on stage along with
tape recorders, prepared CDs, motors and radios. He often
refers to his ôinstruments" as an ôelectroacoustic
contraption." His live work with JΘr⌠me Noetinger found echoes
in the approach of Swiss and Austrian abstractionists like
Voice Crack, Gⁿnter Mⁿller, and Werner Dafeldecker, but
Marchetti is mostly active in France, performing regularly at
the club Les Instants ChavirΘs and at the festival Musique
Action. His studio work encompasses sound collage ( ) and
academic electroacoustics ( , ), although the level of poetry
and refusal of genre boundaries in his music puts him closer
to Kristoff K.Roll and Luc Ferrari than Pierre Henry or
Bernard Parmegiani." - based on the Franτois Couture penned
bio in All Music Guide.
Y⌠ko Higashi: dancer, singer and composer initially began her
work in Tokyo, and now resides in Lyon. Since 2002 she creates
her own choreographies. She also works on vocal performances
