MAGRAVA
MAGRAVA - Et Attendre (CD) (2022) Yes, this is one album I didn't buy immediately, since it is a pricy one for a CD, especially if you choose the version which includes photographic artwork on glass plates - which I didn't. Still the presentation of the Black Edition in a black envelope with stamped in print and two thick cardboards, of which one also holds the CD, is quite special. It's not the most practical thing I must admit though. Especially getting the disc of its mount can be a pain in the ass. The musical reward however is at least worth it. It's the live recording of improvisations by the Experiminental musicians Rodolphe Laubatière (drums) and Cyril Meysson (guitar), which is obviously a direction other artists on WV Sorcerer have explored before. But besides Sheng Jie with Shen Jing or Li Jianghong I also feel reminded of works from thisquietarmy, Jörg Schneider or the Free Post Rock duo Miira. Especially the twenty-five-minute centerpiece "S'Inverser Entre Soi" is an expressive tornado of Noise, while the following "Hors Séparateurs" almost abstractly explores the deepest depths of minimalist Drone.
New album
Signal Lapidaire
has just been released with Paula Sanchez
Label Créative Sources Recordings
Paula Sanchez - Cello
Rodolphe Loubatière - Snare
With their debut album as Signal Lapidaire, Paula Sanchez and Rodolphe Loubatière take us through an exploration of resonance and distortion using an all-acoustic setup.
Although the album credits list only two instruments – cello and snare drum – the way they are played sounds as if the cello strings and the drumhead themselves were two additional entities, both disconnected from their wooden/metal bodies and traditionally assigned roles. Augmented with various objects, they generate, extend, colour and distort an overwhelming variety of sonic textures, which constantly morph and shift together throughout seven different tracks. But this is not to say that clash or tension never makes its way onto the duo's path. Rather than eluding these musical moments, they are clearly taken as opportunities to push things even further, making the overall results even richer. Moreover, the interplay between the micro and macro dynamic elements shaping these tracks gives us another clear sign of the constant attention and acute listening deployed by the duo, in what constitutes an impressive first collaborative effort. / Cyril Meysson
New track with Cyril Bondi and D’incise for recording, Insub.polytopies
L'improvisation musicale et la musique expérimentale sont des formes
d'expression artistique audacieuses et innovantes. Elles repoussent les
limites de la création sonore en utilisant des éléments inattendus, tels
que des tas de ferraille, pour créer une musique brute et authentique.
Ces éléments font partie intégrante du paysage sonore, ajoutant une
dimension unique à la composition. L'improvisation musicale et la
musique expérimentale offrent une expérience auditive captivante et
surprenante, invitant les auditeurs à explorer de nouvelles sonorités et
à repenser les conventions musicales traditionnelles. Elles ouvrent de
nouvelles perspectives et inspirent une créativité sans limites.

Musical improvisation and experimental music are bold and innovative forms of artistic expression. They push the boundaries of sound creation by using unexpected elements, such as piles of scrap metal, to create raw and authentic music. These elements are an integral part of the soundscape, adding a unique dimension to the composition. Musical improvisation and experimental music provide a captivating and surprising auditory experience, inviting listeners to explore new sounds and rethink traditional musical conventions. They open new perspectives and inspire limitless creativity.

"Sur le label WV Sorcerer on trouve des pépites noires du monde entier. Celle-ci vient d'ici plus ou moins mais semble émerger d'un gouffre. Y pénétrer est une expérience physique et mentale aussi physiquement massante que Sun O)))), aussi mentalement libératoire que Sun Ra. On pense garder ses repères batterie-guitare mais c'est un trou noir et la chute est vertigineuse"

RYOKO AKAMA GREY (GRAY)
BONNIE JONES & RODOLPHE LOUBATIÈRE
https://insub.org/distances-3-8/
[electronics // snare drum]
Ryoko Akama’s scores are spaces offered to the musicians, where abstraction
takes form. Once again she proposes a reflection on the grey, on the color
without colors, on subtle shifts of perception. Bonnie Jones and Rodolphe
Loubatière both explore on their own that « hyperspace » born in distance.
Through Bonnie’s circuits and wires and on skin surface for Rodolphe, it
suddenly shape itself in our ears. This trio manages to balance concept and
sensitivity of raw material, in a long electrocoustic-improvisation/music
format.

From september until decembre 2020, INSUB. curates the Insub.distances project. It invited height composers from the experimental scene to write originial scores. These compositions were interpreted by 8 duos of musicians fully sperareted. The pieces, recorded & filmed, and broadcasted online only investigate the issues of proximity and distance in a context where artistic mobility is turned obsolete by the current crisis, highlighting the need to create and exchange, beyond masks and closed borders. The 8 dematerialized performances that will be published one every two weeks, in video & audio formats, alongside interviews in which the musical, technical, contextual and personal aspects of the performers’ work are discussed. This dematerialized proposition explores virtuality as a palliative during the current situation – but also its limits by a crude montage which underlines the separation between the performers. The simplicity of the set-up ultimately reinforces the power of the music : tender and subtle counterpoints are found side by side to interweaved humming voices, explosive bursts, pulsations, meticulous explorations, resonance activations & ethereal harmonies…

MAGRAVA - ʭ ɧ
Cyril Meysson - guitar / Rodolphe Loubatière - drums
Magrava is a noise / free improv duo
formed by Cyril Meysson (guitar) and Rodolphe
Loubatière (drums). After the first LP "Sédition"
released in 2017, a new album named "ʭɧ" is ready and
it's their first release under the name MAGRAVA, the duo is
officially settled.
En tournée avec Cyril Meysson pour présenter notre premier album
"Sédition"
AU 102
Pour ceux qui n’auraient pas
forcément envie de passer leur week-end à écouter de la techno en
club jusqu’à 6 heures du matin, l’association
grenobloise Reafforests propose une jolie alternative au
102 samedi 18 novembre à partir de 19h, avec un concert qui ne
mettra probablement pas vos oreilles au repos pour autant. Au
programme entre autres, le mystérieux Grenoblois Michel 31,
projet solo drone/noise sur lequel on ne dispose malheureusement pas
de plus d’informations, ainsi que deux projets venus du Mexique et
oscillant dans un registre musical relativement similaire : El
Toro Que Venció Al Matador et Paulo Sandoval.
De notre côté, on attend surtout avec
pas mal d’impatience la venue du duo lyonnais Meysson-Loubatière,
réunion du guitariste de Noyades Cyril Meysson (en photo) et du
batteur aux innombrables projets musicaux Rodolphe Loubatière. Situé
aux confluences de sphères musicales comme la noise, le free jazz et
l’improvisation pure et dure, leur subtil, intense et très réussi
premier album Sédition, sorti en juin dernier, donne en effet
très envie d’être découvert sur scène.
'Couleurs Chimériques', 2nd
collaboration with Pierce Warnecke, set to be released in November on
Label BeCoq and Carton Records (thx guys!).
