Éditions Appærent and Pierre Guerineau are proud to present L’eau par la soif, their shared debut record. Named after historical cases of mass hallucinations in French villages, Feu St-Antoine’s music reflects the subjectivity of reality, both as a personal and socio-political construct. From the cold vocoder of “The Appærence” to the phased, swirling rhythms of “Spazio Libero,” or the vast, sprawling synth epics “L’eau par la soif” and “Printemps,” this record is immaculately rendered at every level; suffused with thoughts half-remembered, emotions never felt, and languages unlearned. Language plays a crucial role here. Monologues and snatched phrases are buried in these tracks; one can even detect the cry and speech of Alex Zhang Hungtai’s slabbed, event-horizon saxophone. “L’eau par la soif” traverses the space between what is known and unknown, what is felt and unfelt, what is true and what is merely fact.
