Casse-tĂȘte

by Bernard Bonnier

Casse-tĂȘte cover art

A former assistant to Pierre Henry, Bonnier crafted a deeply hypnotic and rhythmic exploration of musique concrĂšte and early sampling techniques. The record utilizes erratic tape loops, synthesized pulses, and manipulated vocal fragments to create a disorienting, futuristic sound collage. It is regarded as a pioneering work of Canadian electronic music and experimental plunderphonics.
