Philip Jeck - Suite: Live in Liverpool (Autofact/Touch, 2008)

Philip Jeck travaille avec des platines, de vieux vinyles et des vieux tourne-disques. A partir de cette matière sonore - et avec des tables de mixage et des synthés, il crée des boucles et des ritournelles au charme brumeux. Bien au-delà d'un simple exercice de recyclage, le résultat nous plonge dans une rêverie loin de tout gimmick, une musique mélancolique et planante. Pour quelqu'un qui travaille avec des microsillons, avec cet album c'est pourtant la première fois que sa musique sort en vinyle. Et c'est très beau!

"Suite: Live in Liverpool" follows Philip Jeck's acclaimed collaboration with Gavin Bryars and Alter Ego on a new version of 'The Sinking of the Titanic' (Touch Tone 34). It is the companion release to his latest solo album, 'Sand'; a set of five new compositions that highlight Jeck's mastery of vinyl manipulation, personal and collective memories.
'Suite' is at once elegiac, celebrational, mournful and uplifting. Those who have followed Jeck's development since his first release, "Loopholes" (Touch TO:26) will observe his return to the industrial textures that coloured that collection, though here they are fused with his symphonic grace and continued development as a composer and live performer.
