Description :Bisbâyé — pronounced ‘bees-bow-yay' — translates as 'what happens when there is nothing else one can do, when uncertainty and obstacles require excelling oneself' and was founded in 2001 by guitarist and main composer Jean-Pierre Larouch.

Bisbâyé may be most notable for including two guitarists and two drum kits, with the two guitarists answering each other's riffs and the two percussionists answering each other's beats in real time, and the bassist being the musical fulcrum. This polyrhythmic superposition creates a compelling stereo effect (best experienced with headphones on).

The band's leader cites Don Caballero and Meshuggah as influences. King Crimson's influence is also undeniable, so is the sophistication of the math-rock genre's best acts, while you can find some of Larouche's favorite composers (Steve Reich, Gyorgy Ligeti) in there as well.

'Polyrhythmic anger and dissonant mathematics. That's how I would describe Bisbâyé's album. Rarely have I listened to music where polyrhythms truly feel polyrhythmic. [Here] there's no doubt you'll feel each separate rhythmic pattern on its own, thanks to the ingenious arrangement of the drums and guitars, and it creates an unnatural, counter-intuitive, and mesmerizing feel. This particular playing paints a form that is truly Bisbâyé's own...' – Can This Even Be Called Music
