Genre/Influences: IDM, industrial.
Background/Info:
We all know Franck
Vigroux for his experimental taste, which lead him to work with famous artists
such as Mika Vaino. “Théorème” is his latest sonic brainchild featuring 4 new
cuts.
Content:
The Frenchman holds on to
his passion for experimental- and industrial sound treatments, but the work
still sounds more minimal and more accessible than before. This EP sounds like it’s
into IDM and features fine sound arrangements. It’s pretty bombast at one side
and still subtle at the other.
+ + + :
I again was flabbergasted
by the blasting sound treatments running through this work. But the minimal
approach, which sometimes sounds a bit inhibited, is absolutely genius. I can’t
say to have heard all productions from this artist, but “Théorème” definitely
appears to be one of his most sophisticated and accomplished works to date. The
opening piece “Carré” is a little sound jewel, but I also have to mention both
tracks from the B-side.
– – – :
The track “VX90” is the
single piece that couldn’t totally convince me, but I once again have no reason
to complain.
Conclusion:
Franck Vigroux has
already been active for numerous years now, but I get the impression he’s
progressively reaching his top. “Théorème” is a brilliant piece of modern
electro-experimental music and I can only hope it will serve as source of
inspiration for the next full length of this artist.
