Wabi-Sabi Tapes:

"Avant le Rivage takes us back to the poetics of a liminal space in its original definition : a place of transition, of change ; a place that contains the source of a reverie. At the heart of Mélodie Blaison's music, the shore is not seen as an elementary boundary between water and land. Rather, it is a crossroads of prolific inter-relations, a breeding ground for heterogeneous temporalities that invite disembodied contemplation.

In this way, the sound materials used by the composer are intertwined to construct a series of impressions rather than a path. Her work is characterised by a long-term practice of breathing through the use of flutes. From Pluie + Pluie onwards, the listener becomes familiar with these diffuse breaths that fade into the distance. At once misty curtains and traces of imaginary worlds in the making, Mélodie Blaison's flute lines give her music a spectral body.

In addition, the artist works by playing with echoes. The percussion bounces and transposes, the synths speed up and slow down, the field recordings metamorphose. As if each component contained the seed of a communication that never stops searching itself. The last track, which gives the album its title, resonates with these multiple trajectories, so many intimate immensities that it's up to us to approach.

Mélodie Blaison is a French artist currently based in Brussels. Her work is a space for experimentation, combining modular sculptures, immersive installations and sound objects. She is interested in the hybrid spaces that fiction can generate, while questioning our relationship with the world through creative processes rooted in care, ecofeminist theories and the poetic mapping of speculative worlds. Avant le Rivage is her second album, following on from VINTVRI, released on Grande Rousse Disques in 2022."
