On the occasion of the remarkable goal of the 200th release, Creative Sources label manager Ernesto Rodrigues propose the result of an artistic partnership, recorded in Lisbon on 6th February 2011, between some regular collaborators of the label - Nuno Torres (alto saxophone), Eduardo Chagas (trombone), Abdul Moimeme (prepared guitars) and himself on viola - and the synaesthetic electroacoustic Swiss project Diatribes, whose aim according to the intent of their heads, talented drummer Cyril Bondi and experimental noise artist Laurent Peter aka D'incise materializes in a sound where construction and deconstruction run side by side. During its five long-lasting tracks, Brume (French word for "fog") unravels intriguing sonic skeims, where different instrumental voices come before a sonic space which looks like wooly, mysterious, somewhat sinister and saturated by an electronic undercurrent, an authentic sonic thich fog where different elements seem to play hide-and-seek, so that they're not easy to be recognized due to extended techniques applied on them, whereas recording of objects by D'incise sounds particularly enthralling and plays a central role in the recording - not only because he finally gave a certain musical worthiness to plastic bubble wrap, whose typical popping sound after compression and rupture appears in the middle of the second track! - as it's likewise enthralling the way different voices become gradually amalgamated by a sort of ever-growing gelatin like they explicate a kind of acoustic polysyndeton.
