vote
Etienne Michelet is a young composer and musician from France. After his self-released works 'Bleu Vesperal' and 'Le Piano a Coudre (The Sewing-Piano)', this is the first release of his ongoing 'Calendaires'-project, which moves in the fields of minimal, ambient, experimental music and classical music. This 'Calendaires'-release contains two parts, both together over 50 minutes long. Part one begins in a very dark context. Deep, growling bass sounds coming to the surface very slowly, bringing some motives and melodies with them. All these parts are layered together to a monumental and threatening wall of sound, which collapses and falls apart into a deep and dark soundscape again. Part two brings more light to the listener. Little chime-pieces lead to a wide field of melodies and sounds rushing around, bringing back memories.Download
