THE SLUMBER TRAIN IS BACK
If Alex chose as a pseudonym the name of the most famous tape recorder produced in Europe since 1949. It is perhaps not by chance. This DJ's producer and jack-of-all-trades who manipulates tapes like his famous ancestors Pierre Henry and his ilk but also current machines like the most knowledgeable electro musicians of select clubs in Paris and Berlin. Influenced by the Canterbury school and the leaders of the so-called repetitive music scene but also by creators such as Brian Eno; Alex Revox Jr offers us a first album that finally brings together the fruit of his work of many years of which we could hear excerpts on a few records marketed on different thematic compilations. The fruit of this experience allows him to offer us this first opus of 8 tracks that he finalized in the studio with different musicians who came to feature on these resolutely minimalist or Postminimalist works. Alex Revox Jr owes a lot to Philip Glass, Terry Riley and Steve Reich, Pierre Henry, Gong or La Monte Young whose most famous albums were marketed by the Mantra label which chose to publish his first album. A record that aims to be a bridge between the past and the future of electronic music.
Si Alex a choisi comme pseudonyme le nom du plus célèbre magnéto à bande produit en Europe dès 1949. Ce n’est peut-être pas par hasard. Ce DJ’s producer et touche-à-tout qui manipule les bandes comme ses célèbres ancêtres que furent Pierre Henry et consorts mais aussi les machines actuelles comme le plus avertis des musiciens électro des clubs selects de Paris et Berlin.
Influencé par l’école de Canterbury et les leaders de la scène de musique dite répétitive mais aussi par des créateurs tels Brian Eno ; Alex Revox Jr nous propose un premier album qui réunit enfin le fruit de son travail de longues années dont a pu entendre des extraits sur quelques disques commercialisés sur différentes compilations thématiques.
Le fruit de cette expérience lui permet de nous offrir ce premier opus de 8 titres qu’il a finalisé en studio avec différents musiciens venus faire des featuring sur ces œuvres résolument minimalistes ou Postminimalistes.
Alex Revox Jr doit beaucoup a Philip Glass, Terry Riley et Steve Reich, Pierre Henry, Gong ou La Monte Young dont les plus célèbres albums ont été commercialisés par le label Mantra qui a choisi de publié son premier album. Un disque qui se veut comme une passerelle entre le passé et le futur de la musique électronique.
