{"product_id":"chapelier-fou_meridiens-vinyl_2020_lad","title":"MÉRIDIENS (vinyl)","description":"Music as a treasure hunt – these are the words we liked to use to describe Chapelier Fou's work. But beyond the phrase, and however pertinent it has been until today, we never thought it would embody one of his albums to this extent. Two of his albums, to be perfectly clear: Méridiens and Parallèles. Two sets of twelve tracks, with each track on one album responding to its counterpart on the other in the form of anagrams. Like the two sides of a planet, similar yet so different at the same time. We will have to discover them one after the other, taking the necessary time to explore the sonic territories born from his imagination.\" Beware, masterpiece ahead. Louis Warynski, aka Chapelier Fou, is a true artist. One of those who search, try, and experiment. For the past 8 years and three albums, this Metz native has consistently challenged our hearing, contributing his touch to the captivating syncretism of classical and electronic music. A mutant multi-instrumentalist, equally adept with a violin as with a sequencer, whom one wouldn't be surprised to encounter in the surreal universe of Lewis Carroll's tale. His electronica is often dreamlike and, in many respects, reminiscent of Rone at the time of his first album, *Spanish Breakfast*. --- Ghislain Chantepie, FIP --- \"Chapelier Fou proves he is one of the great electronic music creators, alongside Aphex Twin, Autechre, and Amon Tobin.\" --- LE MONDE --- At the outset, an austere night in Uqbar... Chapelier Fou invoking Borges from the very beginning is certainly no coincidence. He immediately entrusts us with the objective of his diptych: to amalgamate reality with fiction to question our certainties and our relationship with imagination. He adheres to his traditional classical-contemporary electronic approach which, while now known to a wide audience, has the advantage of opening up an infinite field of possibilities. In absolutely every track that makes up 'Méridiens', you will find at least one detail, one pattern, one melody, sometimes a simple sound, that will compel you to return and explore it further. And believe me, these words are carefully chosen. Quite simply, we are undoubtedly facing his most captivating album. Chapelier Fou has become a complete master of his universe. He draws the starting and finishing lines himself, and no one can follow him closely on a terrain that now belongs only to him. And to him alone. HYBRID ELECTRO WITH REFINED AND CATCHY MELODIES Since 2009, the multi-instrumentalist from Metz has been unveiling a powerful and captivating universe, with gentle compositions where instruments blend with electronic programming. In another era, we would simply have called it \"electronica\" to describe this fusion of organic phrasing and synthetic rhythms, this superposition of atmospheres and feelings. In ten years, Chapelier Fou has established a unique signature through EPs and albums that have resonated well with both media and the public: *613* (2010), *Invisible* (2012), *Deltas* (2014), *Kalia* (2016), *Muance* (2017). To accompany all these productions, Chapelier Fou has toured worldwide (Europe, Russia, China, North America).","brand":"Chapelier Fou","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55310287274328,"sku":null,"price":20200228.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3521381559194_a383936b-0190-4052-84f2-c77c21ddc71a.jpg?v=1760317941","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/chapelier-fou_meridiens-vinyl_2020_lad","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
