OSCILLATIONS

Video-Aventures

RIO/Avant-Prog

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

Although accompanied by avant gardist musicians from the french scene at that time, the main focus is the synth / keys playing of Grimaud and Alba. This is no battle for the fastest solo, or majestic 10 keyboards at a time symphonic fest. This is moody, textural, personal, sometimes subtle and melodic, and others harsh, experimental and certainly Prog a la french. Almost always with a minimalistic attitude on how the pieces are approached. If you like the analog sounds of some of the more ambient/sparse inventors of the 70s like Cluster, Eno or ZNR you'll be at home with these Videos. Not that they sound like these mentioned artist but they somehow belong in the same 'musical category'.

This is part of a very interesting collection of French underground/experimental/prog on the Gazul label (by Musea) called Les Zuto Pistes, gathered by Grimaud himself. Recommended.
