Description :Jean Dubuffet used to define his music as something disordered and dirty. But here, it is a Dubuffet returning from a long journey in Africa, with haunting rhythms that reach trance-like states, corrupted by ErikM's UK Drill.

With one exception, this disc is a recording of a concert givenat the Ateliers Claus in Brussels in March 2024. It was precededby three short hours of improvisation the day before and theday before that, during which ErikM and I made a series ofcareful observations of each other's playing.It must be said that neither of us had skimped on transportinga few cases, the contents of which would have allowed us toplay several concerts in a row without ever repeating ourselves.Erik had brought his turntables to Brussels, as well assophisticated electronic machines, accompanied by a virtually infinite sound bank.For my part, I had both a mechanical orchestra and a range of acoustic instruments at my disposal.In two sessions, we eliminated the superfluous and theineffective. On the evening of the concert, it was throughclose observation-of each sound, each direction taken by oneor the other, each intention, each break-that we composed this record in the moment: vigilant and scrutinising, like the pairsof eyes on the cover of this album. (Pierre Bastien)
