Lionel Marchetti – La Grande Vallée / Micro-Climat – LP

Lionel Marchetti is a major figure of the “third generation” of concrète musicians, a term he values. Listening to these works, imbued with poetry and traversed by micro-narratives, one can indeed retrieve the original concrète spirit, the one that draws from the sonic world, with ears wide open, so as to extract a fertile, rich and multiple substance then shaped and conveyed towards a formal and musical abstraction. Lionel Marchetti has mastered this process, but his real distinctive feature is a truly unique talent for setting climates (as one sets traps) and keeping us on constant alert.

The two pieces in this record perfectly illustrate the entrancing dimension of Lionel Marchetti‘s music, whose charm leads us, through each successive listening, to become voluntary captives so as to better liberate ourselves
