What happens when electronics meets a string orchestra and a choir, exhuming the voice of a girl recorded 25 years ago for a pop song? Is it the birth of musical UFO, a fragile electro-pop in its heart, with classical music accents? As this French female voice so aptly puts it in the song with its contagious freshness: "You miss me": It is not so much about what is said, given to listened to, as what is not given: an architecture of absence. What happens in us when the world, in the form of the beloved being(s) - which is/are precisely, let’s be honest - the world, steals away, hides to reappear? How can we cope in front of the unseen, which itself tends to disappear (the final "n", half eaten, is read as an "r"). It is to these questions that this piece tries to answer, without of course approaching an answer that does not even exist. Perhaps the central theme of this song is rather how not to ask questions, not to try to synthesize. How to let the different fragments of our lives express themselves in their own language.

"...Florid, aromatic Ambient plunderphonics, at a nexus between found sound appropriation and minimalist arrangement, rainswept ambience and chilling harmonics besmoke the mind in vapourous swelter and numbing melodious introversia..."

An unique compilation derived from a period of isolation in which all these great musicians and sound enthusiasts were able to experiment and create unique tunes to let the mind wander off into blissful oblivion. josedenoche
For this LP, Formen modified old 16bit effects units which were then cascaded via internal patch points to develop a glitchy sound. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 18, 2021
