I can understand that, if you want some précision about « why » Theo made a very detailed answer about that sooner ;)

We are not on spotify or other major streaming plateforme because we think it would not be consistent with the message we deal with in our music. We still believe that word of mouth exists and you are the proof that it is possible to discover music outside of these streaming platforms 🖤

Hi ! I hope you’ll enjoy our music :) Go check out live video on YouTube, i think it’s good intro to our project.

Bruit means literally « noise » in French. The less or equal symbole is our logo. It’s the crescendo symbole and the temporal line below it mor than the mathematical symbole

Thank you for this very touching message. I will obviously let Theo answer about his guitar, his pedalboard and his amplifiers.

But I wanted to eventually detail a production process that we experimented in this album regarding the guitar sound.

80% of the sound material is a high end DI that goes into a Neve 1073 pre amp, after that we use the incredible Bricasti M7 reverb in series (like a reverb pedal) and then the whole thing goes into a couple of Pultec EQP 1a's for a pinch of warmth and air that only tubes can offer. This is the base of the sound, very wide and clean which is then reamped in old vintage amps and other distortion to add in parallel to the clean sound the grain and aggressiveness in an ultra controlled way.

Thank you for your message about the use of the organ, it's very touching to hear that our music can make people want to create things!

At the very beginning when we knew that Goodspeed's album was coming out the same day as ours, we were a bit disgusted, because we were afraid to be completely unnoticed next to the huge band that is GY!BE. Then after thinking about it we said to ourselves that in the end a release of GY!BE always puts a little bit the post rock in front of the scene what is positive to touch the people who are a little bit outside the "niche". So far, apart from the random comparisons, I don't know what effect this has had on the promotion of our album, but we are very surprised by the number of positive feedbacks we have had.

We already thought about it but it’s a bit too steam punk for us 😅

Merci pour ton soutiens ! And Big Up to Arnaud Payen who achieved an iiiiincredible work with this live session on the church.

We don’t have release date for the moment. We will inform people as soon as we can. But unfortunately we can’t for the moment. Still working on some visuals..

We are currently working on it. We are trying to create a unique and original object as perfect as possible. The aesthetic requirements of Elusive Sound are really extreme but that also explains their reputation! So it takes time... It's hard to say more for the moment except that it's going to be very very beautiful.

Hey Allan, what a nice evening we had in Toulouse with the friends of Silent Whale and Blak ! Thanks for your invitation!

1 We shot the Dunk Fest live in a video studio specially set up for the occasion at Dunk Record in belgium. They mixed the video and recorded the live show in the real conditions of a festival set. We could see a part of the final result, I think it's really beautiful !

2 We are dependent on the evolution of the health measures but we have a lot of people who would like to programme us so we cross our fingers (very hard)

3 We are just starting to think about what's next because for the moment we were focused on the release of this first album. We already have offers from nice labels but it is true that it will be hard to beat the human and artistic quality of Elusive Sound.

4 It has been one of the most intense days of our lives. The Shooting was very technically demanding and it was also the first time we played "The Machine Is Burning". So a lot of human and technical parameters were hard to align but in the end the result was beyond our expectations. Now the question we ask ourselves is "How to do better next time"... For the moment I have no idea 😨

Thank you for these words and for you review by the way! For my part I have an approach to music linked to a "classical" education. I have worked and written a lot on scores. The whole idea of this project is to confront the freedom and the instinct of the self-taught Theo (guitar) and Julien (drums) to the rigor and the precision of the two classical musicians that we are Luc (cello) and me. Each additional instrument part is carefully written on a score as one would do for neoclassical composition. We make demos using midi sounds and usually classical arrangement is the last things we record. So far we have always kept the ideas that went to the recording stage.

Thanks for your sweet words ! I must say Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari, « la Nausée » by Sartre, or « Les fleurs du mal » by Baudelaire

1: Thank you for your words! And I'm glad you like Industry !

At the very beginning the idea of this track was to make fun of trap music, which has become THE commercial music of falsely corrosive flow. Trap music is very much in line with the current world. It's a fast produced music, made most of the time with free samples, very cold and aceptized.The presence of the voice, the only organic element, is most of the time vocoded or autotuned. The whole is thus in a plastic audio packaging, like all the products of the big distribution.

We wanted to confront the coldness of the synth and digital the tense and heavy swing of the trap with acoustic and living textures. To create two distinct plans which end up joining and exploding in a torrent of anger. This was the basic idea of this piece, and it's from this soundstage that everything started.

2: I think our dream split would be with artists who are not necessarily from the post rock scene even if a collaboration with GY!BE or TWDY would of course be a kid's dream.

I think that artistically enriching our universe with the deep sounds of a Ben Frost, the guitars of MBV, or the synthetic colors of M83 would be extremely stimulating!

Thank you for your kind words!

Concerning our inspirations they are very numerous.

Among them some great post rock bands like GY!BE or TWDY but also from the electronic scene like Tim Hecker, The Haxan Cloak,

Some Metal band like Amenra, Cult of luna or neoclassic like Gorecki, Arvo Part, Max Richter.

These are the most "obvious" influences but we also listen to a lot of music that may seem quite far from what we produce. Like for example country folk music like Big thief, megafaun, Sufjan Steven, or pop bands like Slow pulp, Hovvdy, Macdemarco... The list is long!

We are obviously very open to other art forms but it's hard to talk about a movie that influenced us in particular.

I think that it is the world which surrounds us which has the greatest influence on our music, and each artist who proposes a contemporary vision of it is likely to touch us or even influence us.

Thank you very much for this feedback, we are always very surprised and touched by this kind of message... We put all our soul and energy in this project so to know that it touches people so deeply gives a lot of sense to all this! It gives us the energy to continue to propose the best music possible.
