Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating heavily in the realm of electroacoustic third stream music, the visionary French composer curates a deeply mysterious, classically informed ambient record. Fusing intricate string arrangements with vast, spacious electronics, 'Géologies' evokes a deeply cinematic, almost prehistoric sense of environmental wonder.
