Musique pour objets en voie de disparition [Music for Objects on the Verge of Extinction]
Diane Labrosse
Above all, the sense of joyful mischievousness characterizing the album causes us to realize why there’s no need of disproportionate solemnity to conceive stimulating music. — Touching Extremes, Italy
La mia convinzione è che
Musique pour objets en voie de disparition non solo sia un disco molto bello… — Wonderous Stories, Italy
Eight pieces like eight flashbacks to a bygone daily sonic life. A nostalgia-prone stroll down obsolescence lane. Eight pieces like eight memories and stories, true or fictional, happy or sad, in Technicolor or Smell-o-rama.
+ 1. Night, snores, tick-tock, peace, dreams, drrrring
This disc was entirely assembled without the consent of the musicians playing on it. I thank them for agreeing to record “blindfolded” and let me manipulate them as I pleased. (

Review
In the late 80s/early 90s Ambiances Magnétiques was among my darling labels but, inexplicably, with the passage of time I kind of lost contact and became less aware of their production. My loss, as this CD from 2007 is indeed a clever-sounding artifact needing to be rescued from a dimension of implicit oblivion.
