Perceptual Defence's "Time Lines" review on Synth&Sequences

Sylvain Lupari just put online on Synth&Sequences his review of Perceptual Defence's double album Time Lines, which I contributed the track Cosmic Time on CD 2. Here it is.

"(...) Cosmic Time, with Pharamond, is more audacious. After a very ambiospherical intro which is knotted in sizzling synth waves and in singings of flute, the sequences run away in keen pulsations which eat up their shadows, creating a starving and undisciplined structure of rhythm which finally converges into a beautiful Berlin School which is too short. (...)"

"(...) There are some very beautiful moments in this album which is a real demystification of the Arpeggiator. (...)"

Orbis Tertius review on EMpulsiv.de

Yesterday, well known musician Stefan Erbe, editor of EMpulsiv.de, one of the most comprehensive website dedicated to traditional electronic music, finally published his own review of Orbis Tertius. Here it is.

" (...) Sein faible für die traditionelle Berliner Schule, durchzieht das gesamte Album und manifestiert sich in der intensiven Anwendung von ausgeprägten Sequenzer-Elementen, die vielfach hübsch in Szene gesetzt werden und native Veränderungen erfahren. (...)"

Orbis Tertius review on MusikZirkus-Magazin

Stephan Schelle, editor of the well known MusikZirkus-Magazin, published today the first ever german review of my album Orbis Tertius. He also sums up very well Jorge Luis Borges' short story, which provided me both the concept and inspiration. Here it is.

" (...) Nachdem ich Sylvain Mazars als Berichterstatter der elektronischen Musik kennen gelernt habe, muss ich gestehen, zeigt er sich auf „Orbis Tertius“ von einer ganz anderen Seite. Er beweist, dass man nicht nur über Musik schreiben, sondern sie auch sehr gut selber machen kann. Hut ab, vor diesem Debüt. Sehr zu empfehlen."
