François Bayle - LExpérience Acoustique
Review by Olivia Amitrano
L'Expérience Acoustique, the latest album by François Bayle, is a masterpiece of experimental sound art. The album features a collection of works that showcase Bayle's unique approach to sound, which combines electroacoustic techniques with a deep understanding of acoustics and the natural world.
The album is a journey through a sonic landscape that is both familiar and otherworldly. Bayle's use of field recordings, found sounds, and manipulated instruments creates a rich tapestry of sound that is at times haunting, at times beautiful, and always immersive.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Tremblement de terre très doux," which translates to "Very Soft Earthquake." The piece is a meditation on the idea of movement and stillness, and features a range of sounds from the natural world, including birdsong and water, as well as more abstract, electronic sounds.
