Description
Colleens mastery of the art of sound sculpting is fully displayed on Le jour et la nuit du réel, a beautiful 21-song double album that manages to explore the intersections of the material and the imagined, a sonic odyssey unearthing soul from synthesis.
The album is organized into several movements. Each movement employs different synthesis settings, but with distinctive chords and motifs that provide a thorough line, guiding the listener through gorgeous sonic landscapes. Schott elaborates: To me, the capacity of synthesis to alter subtly or radically the physical embodiment in the sound of the same series of notes is akin to how, when given new information about a person or a situation, we can reevaluate our initial perception of what we thought was the reality of that person or situation, sometimes drastically so.
