Arandel is not an artist, he is a character, ispired by Terry Rile's In C. being supremely mysterious, wanting to do it anonymously, he even performs live hidden behind a curtain. all sound sourced from real instruments, recorded by himself -so there are no samples here. he is rather an experiment in the convergence of techno and french philosophy. a hybrid of thoughtfulness classical and progressive dance floor sounds. this album is one of the most interesting releases of this year. mystical and courageous, an album that thinks for itself.
