Christian Zanési - Stop! L'Horizon (INA-GRM, 1996)



Christian Zanési is a French composer who studied at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique under the tutelage of Pierre Schaeffer and Guy Reibel. For the last two decades he's held close affiliation with the GRM while also maintaining a studio of his own. The three pieces presented here are stereophonic workouts intent on establishing, in Zanési's words, "a physical connection with the listener: that vibrant, organic being." In execution, this amounts to wide, dynamic sound environments doused in cavernous washes, interspersed with modulated breaths and not quote identifiable chirps and tinkerings. Played at a reasonable clip, Zanési succeeds in his aural goal, generating a sound field that deeply captivates the ear.

  2. I didn't know this was a 300+ file, let alone that I could upload such a thing. Here's a divvied up version. Let me know if there are any troubles with it:

    Won't be doing my show this week as I'm moving, but my substitute will be a good listen as well. Thanks for stopping by.
