Signal-Bruit - Hyperborée

After first album Planisphère(s), Signal~Bruit is back with "Hyperbor?e". Drawing inspiration from the journey of Pytheas, a Greek sailor from the 4th century BC who embarked on an exploration towards the northern seas, aiming to prove the sphericity of Earth and based on the assumption that if the Earth was round then, when standing on the top of it, he should be able to see the sun all day.

The electronic and musical landscape of Hyperbor?e follows the path taken by Pytheas, leaving his home following the hypnotic rolls of the Mediterranean sea, then in the immensity of the Atlantic ocean, northbound toward the fabled continent of Thule and his final destination the ice-cold Hyperborean land where night and day merge.

Each track presents a different leg of the journey and the electronic sounds and atmosphere fit with the perils and geography that Pytheas meets to create a complex story told in synthetic sounds, analog sequences, micro rythmics with influences from Berlin School to Intelligent Electronics.
