Franck Vigroux - Sonnailles [2LP] French composer and sound artist Franck Vigroux returns to raster with a new album called Sonnailles. Conceived as a sequence-driven work, Sonnailles unfolds through a series of tightly structured musical passages interspersed with fragments of voices that appear within the compositions like ghostly presences. These vocal shards drift through the sonic landscape, punctuating Vigroux's dense electronic textures and amplifying the album's sense of tension and movement. At the heart of the project lies a deliberate contrast: the collision of raw, almost primitive sonic force with an underlying sense of compositional sophistication. Vigroux crafted the music with an ear for immediacy and physical impact, exploring how rough textures and driving rhythms can coexist with intricate sound design. The album was also inspired by two unusual invitations that pushed the artist beyond his typical performance environments: a rock and punk festival in France and a series of techno club performances in China. These contexts led Vigroux to imagine music whose primary purpose was to move bodies on the dance floor -- an approach that marks a new direction in his work. For Vigroux, the challenge was particularly compelling. Alongside his musical practice, he frequently collaborates with dancers and (more...) A1. Mordor (8:45)A2. Dancer (10:41)B1. Gabales (5:01)B2.
