PRE-ORDER: Liken - La Toute Multiple [CD], Liken, CD

LIKEN is releasing it's new album, following a tour of it's latest work, La Toute Multiple, which spanned more than five years and is the result of a project that began in the spring of 2021. Meticulous work with microphones and the search for intimate sounds, imperceptible to the ear, form the starting point for this piece, which draws inspiration from the poetic world of Jean Genet. After reading his book Notre-Dame-des-Fleurs, composer Timothée Quost conceived a piece in six chapters for seven wind instruments connected to microphones, with a sound engineer integrated into the group, interacting with the musicians and conductor Léo Margue. In this new album, several moments of sound editing are incorporated into the recording. They were created using sound recordings made inside the Phare à Lucioles recording studio, and during the days spent in the Vaucluse village of Sault.
