Album Notes & Community Reviews

Acting as a sonic laboratory for the French synthesist, 'Ceci est cel脿' is an eccentric blend of melodic sequencing and bizarre electroacoustic tape manipulation. Besombes effortlessly pivots from lush, Berlin-school sequencer patterns to jarring, avant-garde sound collages within the same piece. The record serves as a brilliant, deeply unpredictable testament to the wild creativity of 1970s French electronic music.
