about

Rollet and Borisov know one other already since the 90s but never had the opportunity to play together. In 2014 Borisov was touring with Olga Nosova as Astma in France, while Rollet was doing duo-work with Jérôme Lorichon. Time schedules allowed them to pick one day for recording a session together as two duos. We hear Alexei Borisov on electronics, guitar and voice, Jérôme Lorichon electronics, Olga Nosova drums, voice and effects, and Quentin Rollet sax an d effects. At this first meeting, they deal in experimental, open and free rock-based improvisations. Rollet is the one who plays most from a jazz background, whereas the others seem to start more from a rock attitude. Interesting meeting with fine interaction of acoustic and electronic means. There are some strong and engaging moments, but overall it made an arbitrary impression. Recorded at PUSH and mixed at Versatile Studio, Paris, 2014 by Johannes Buff.
Mastering by Alexei Borisov
Artwork by Oleg Kornev. (DM, Vital Weekly 1298)

Released via Reqords as their cat.no. 006 on June 15th, 2k21 is "Shampanskoye", the new, first ever recorded album by the multi-national quartet x double-duo consisting of renowned artists Alexei Borisov, Jerome Lorichon, Olga Nosova and Quentin Rollet which came to life a baffling seven years ago in Paris even though being put on the circuit just now. Within seven tracks and a total playtime of roughly 42 minutes the four musicians, creating for the first time in this specific setting and with a combination of voice, real-life instruments and electronic enhancements, do explore a tense, undoubtedly intricate and surely avantgarde-leaning musical realm infused by both Improv and FreeJazz as well as microtonal and highly fragmented tonal shifts and sonic evolutions, always demanding, probably partly straining and nerve-wrecking at least for the weak-heartened yet filled with interesting details and beautifully sculpted sequences - see the intro sequence and especially the captivating drums of "Escopados", accompanied by ghostly, outerworldly vocals and most desolate guitar feedbacks - for those well versed in experimental music whereas the subsequent sketch named "Outrock" evokes memories of the first, long-forgotten Emphase Records 7" release and "Yellow Jacket" presents a polylayered cacophony of beautiful FreeJazz-infused madness for those who know just to pick out the most outstanding sequence of tracks on this album as a recommended teaser for more things to be found on here. Heavy.
