This first solo CD by composer A_dontigny (morceaux_de_machines, Napalm Jazz, Ensemble Campà)
has been deliberately conceived to be in the margins of electroacoustic music, electronica and audio art.
Thought up as a series of short sarcastic vignettes, Geisteswissenschaften skilfully manipulates common
aesthetic postures in order to create a sound mosaic where one can find hints at modern art history and
philosophy. To an arsenal of cut-and-paste and cut-ups, to which we may include encoding glitches and all
matter of samples and quotes, A_dontigny adds the sonic interventions of three of his usual collaborators:
Paul Dolden (electric cello, guitar and bass), Diane Labrosse (sampler) et Jon Vaughn (remix).
An ode to freedom? A manifest against all dogmas? ThatÆll depend on the mood of the listener. In the end,
Geisteswissenschaften wishes to be a celebration of independance of spirit and human intelligence, one of
those rare works that continue to be nourished by great hopes.
