e42a8 what a nice surprise ! upon first hearing i was caught by the melodic and arpeggiation approach, with the synthetic or sampled voices, which have a slightly nostalgic feeling - then i realised it was another of Amédée's project, whose work is always interesting. I was on trip recently and i played this a few times, along Avventur "2020-2021" and Raymonde ( forgot the name, but on Vlek i think ) : perfect matches. musique pour la route.

fromtokyotonaiagara Zone Bleue was, without any room for doubt, one of the most exciting discoveries of 2023 for me. There's something quite otherworldly about most of these arrangements; midi-sequenced, machine-synthetized instruments fill out the space in a strangely organic manner, creating a musical tapestry that can seem chaotic at first but soon reveals itself as a highly organized sonic construction of pure musicality. A unique listening experience. Favorite track: Vieillir ensemble.

GLIDING MINIMALISM FROM ZONES OF SCATTERED TWILIGHT

Refracted electronics turn inwards to reveal dormant harmonies in a glistening musical spectrum: such is the path chosen by Amédée De Murcia’s Zone Bleue. Known for the dark and dissonant electronics of his Somaticae alter ego, as well as his part in duos Balladur (with Romain de Ferron) and OD Bongo (with C_C), Amédée probes an arena of minimalism that feels like a synthetic orchestra high on emotional turmoil, a musical interpretation of blue skies on a computer background, an AI trying and failing its non-hand at New York School comps, or an improbable nursery room vibe instigated by the touching silliness of machines wanting to emulate the warmth of trumpets, accordions or the human voice. Steve Reichian time stamps and Raymond Scottesque dreaminess take the listener surfing over waves of lapis-lazuli and ultramarine, going deep into a zone of scattered twilight. Perhaps Zone Bleue is just the soundtrack to some forgotten software that Somaticae found on an old hard drive; we might never see it live, but whatever we’re listening to lives its own life.
