Passagenweg will be out on February 3rd

After three albums on Tzadik, Sub Rosa and Orkhëstra, and his collaboration with Sylvain Chauveau & Steven Hess for ON Second Souffle (Brocoli 003), the young French composer Pierre-Yves Macé now presents his first full-scale work of musique concrète, Passagenweg, inspired by Walter Benjamin's Arcades project.

Gramophone cracklings meet digital glitches. 70 minutes of ambient soundscapes, melodic lines and fractured collages, lyrical, mysterious and melancholic.

It will be released on February 2nd (distribution Metamkine & Cod&S, and of course itunes, Other Music and the likes).
