It is in the inspiring calm of his brand-new studio in Bagnolet that Etienne Jaumet found the material for Du cortex à l'iris, his new album recorded for his label Versatile Records. Du cortex à l'iris continues the delicate balance that defines Jaumet's signature: a constant tension between hypnotic abstraction and an almost animal groove. "To reduce the distance between my cortex and my senses, in order to compose mental images with sounds," he says. This intention runs through the entire album: a desire to make people dance, yes, but with echoes of EBM, bursts of cinematic landscapes, and that singular way of slowly inducing trance rather than declaring it. Saxophone, synths, analog drum machines: the arsenal remains familiar, but the approach is even more direct. Playing fast, composing in the moment, letting the hand run before the mind corrects. Capturing something primal, spontaneous, almost raw -- as if the sound were really passing, this time, directly from the cortex to the iris.
