First time outing from two ardent explorers of peripheral sound tactics.
Cylene
is the first collaboration by
François J. Bonnet
(
Kassel Jaeger
) and
Stephen O'Malley
(
Sunn O)))
). Laid bare, you have a subtle and nuanced study of their individual practices forming a titanic whole. O'Malley's guitar inscribes a void that patiently opens up a spacious universe for Bonnet to discreetly alter with perception re-orientating studio maneuvers.
Cylene
is infinitely rewarding for those that succumb to its delicate detours. A vast glacial plain unfurls slowly upon the listener invoking a mood similar to the stillness found following despair. As
Joseph Ghosn
succinctly outlines in his liner notes, "
Stephen and François deal in those moments and instants that happen after the violence, and the ugliness and the mess. Their music is about chaos being summoned and ordered. It is about the noise that nurtures your ears after a long heartbreaking pain. I have heard the sounds of wars being fought and the noises of hearts being broken, and I have never found a shelter as soothing as this music which makes me think of sunken ships and beauty found in the depths of oceans long forgotten.
" Art direction: Stephen O'Malley. Portrait photographer:
Eléonore Huisse
. Recorded at GRM Studios, Paris May 2018. Edited and mixed by François Bonnet at GRM studios, Paris August 2018. Mastering by
Rashad Becker
at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin January 2019.
