Artiste aux multiples collaborations (exemplaires), mais souvent dissimulé - homme discret - derrière l'acronyme circonstanciel NLC , pour des précieuses et Nouvelles Lectures Cosmopolites,
Julien Ash est un musicien pluridimensionnel.
Eric Jovet, se dissimule, lui aussi, derrière des projets (SpecImen ou présentement I,Eternal) à très forte densité bruitiste et noisy, une production qui avoisine les 300 réalisations pour la seule plateforme banquière des TraderSonores. Une rencontre de l'ombre vibrante, que nous pouvons allégrement qualifier d'interstice temporel. Une fissure dans laquelle, les deux musiciens ont décidé de plonger prestement - Éteindre la lumière - Ouvrir enfin, les mannes d'un ralentissement obstiné, volontaire.
Balayer de nos esprits, la récurrente représentation cinémascope de ces mouvements de nuages en accéléré, illusion d'un défilement de l'implacable horloge, MOMENTS confère à l'engloutissement du temps. L'affirmation est, certes, irrationnelle et de taille manifestement conséquente, qui mériterait de convoquer nos plus injustifiables présomptions. Faut-il donc pragmatiquement, et tristement, se satisfaire des sordides mirages, insurmontables ?
Juste intitulé, "A Measure of Time" entame la décroissance absolue et prend toutes les dispositions requises à l'extravagance de l'exercice. Ample paysage mental, frictions granuleuses aux abords des limites, souffle aride et crissant des matières, épanchement d'une infinitude, remise en question sans réponse, la glaçante métamorphose est en manoeuvre suspicieuse.
Changement d'échelle ou réajustement microscopique, "Holes in Time (unfilled)" s'enfonce en complète obscurité, exploration aveugle, dialogue crypté, l'effleurement continuel d'un signal en perdition, sur la lame.
"The Tide that Destroyed Time" n'apportera, lui non plus, d'autre réponse, sinon l'ébauche audacieuse, contenue dans son titre, immersion désertique, sombre métronome des phénomènes immuables, une gravitation réduite à néant. MOMENTS est une belle et (très) ambitieuse réalisation, portée par deux musiciens, qui n'attendent plus que notre soutien, logiquement inconditionnel, pour enfin en découdre avec le sablier.

Julien Ash is a multidimensional musician.
Eric Jovet, also concealing himself behind projects (SpecImen or currently I, Eternal) with a very strong noise density, noisy, and a production that approaches 300 creations for the TraderSongers banking platform alone. A meeting of the vibrating shadows, which we can gladly qualify as a temporal interstice. A crack into which the two musicians have decided to dive quickly - Turn off the light - Finally open the gates of a stubborn, deliberate slowdown.
Sweeping from our minds the recurring widescreen representation of these accelerated cloud movements, an illusion of the relentless clock's progression, MOMENTS confers to the engulfment of time. The assertion is certainly irrational and manifestly consequential, deserving the summoning of our most unjustifiable presumptions. Should we pragmatically, and sadly, settle for sordid mirages, insurmountable?
Aptly titled, "A Measure of Time" initiates absolute decline and takes all the necessary steps for the extravagance of the exercise. A vast mental landscape, gritty frictions at the edges of limits, dry breath and creaking of materials, an outpouring of infinitude, questioning without answers, the chilling metamorphosis is in suspicious maneuver. Change of scale or microscopic readjustment, "Holes in Time (unfilled)" plunges into complete darkness, blind exploration, encrypted dialogue, the continual touch of a signal in distress, on the blade. "The Tide that Destroyed Time" will not bring any other answer either - except the bold outline contained in its title, a dark metronome of immutable phenomena, gravitation reduced to nothing. MOMENTS is a beautiful and (very) ambitious release, carried by two musicians who await our logically unconditional support to finally deal with the hourglass.
