La Rencontre opens with two repetitive and atmospheric pieces: a trio for viola (Oene Van Geel), piano (Lionel Malric), and double bass (Brice Soniano), followed by a piano-double bass duo performing a version of the album's eponymous title track. The Ritual is a more textural work, where the sounds of percussionist Toma Gouband and prepared piano intertwine around the double bass's melody.
