About Lionel Marchetti & Seijiro Murayama
For his second Intransitive album, Lionel Marchetti returns to his favorite subject: the modern musique concrete composer as shaman. Amid an atmosphere of heavy mystery and engrossing, sublime confusion, Hatali Atsalei (L’Echange des Yeux) seems to be informed by radio drama, improvisation, and documentary recording. According to Olivier Capparos’ liner notes, the album provides a “rather faithful” experience of Ancient Greek ritual: Hatali Atseli, the exchange of eyes. Marchetti the alchemist takes the listener to the scene of an imaginary sacred rite, drawing us in with hints of narrative, only to throw expectations aside with the slice of razor on tape. Fire, water, wind instruments and percussion are blended with the voice of collaborator Seijiro Murayama to create something which is not quite a representation of ritual, but is a ritual itself that becomes completed by the act of listening. Lionel Marchetti (France, 1967) is a self-taught composer of musique concrète. He has built his own recording studio, and has composed in the Groupe de Recherches Musicales in Paris since 1993. Marchetti also performs improvisation using microphones and loudspeakers as a duo with Jérôme Noetinger, and with the collective Le Cube, which performs live music and interactive film. Since 1992, he organizes workshops on radio art together with Olivier Capparos for France Culture. Percussionist Seijiro Murayama is founding member of seminal noise/rock band A.N.P. (with KK Null). He performs in collaboration with mnortham, Keiji Haino/Fushitsusha, Eric Cordier, Fred Frith, and Michel Doneda, among others.
