EMPTY & PULSIONS

Description

Baptiste Lagrave is one of those artists who can dive in even when the water is icy. When the music begins, Baptiste Lagrave immerses us in an introspection carried out with resilience and meticulousness. Alone behind the machines, he analyzes and classifies his feelings to better accept their paradoxes. In the depths of our abysses, sweetness cohabits with the darkest thoughts. It is impossible to find peace without accepting one's own dark parts. Thus, Baptiste Lagrave draws his contrasting influences from Schubert, François de Roubaix, the electronic sounds of Boards of Canada and Jon Hopkins, and the schools of labels like Warp and Zone. From tranquility to club brutality, the project, mixed by Cubenx in Berlin in Apparat's studio and mastered by Marie Pieprzownik at Translab, leads us to confront our rawest feelings.
