PRESS RELEASE
Des rythmes de passage (DRDP), literally Rhythms of passage, is Szkieve’s second long-playing CD for Disques Hushush. Almost three years after debuting with Des germes de quelque chose, Szkieve has gained critical reputation worldwide. His truly distinctive sound is constituted of both suiting chords and strings and high-pitched synthetic sounds. DRDP is in continuity with Szkieve’s precedent releases, however, this disc incorporates new tones and techniques. Silk Saw’s Rob(u)Rang contribution of ebow guitar sounds and Vromb’s Radiodrome studio facilities’ addition of many analog synthesizers are at the very heart of this lively mix where the calm and the disturbing are reacting in unpredictable ways. "Eleven is a number beautiful by its simplicity. Its figures are like rods raised against the skies, tearing up apart the relentless passage of time" says Szkieve’s Dimitri della Faille.
ARTIST'S NOTES
"Des rythmes de passage" was released just when Hushush started to get major troubles with distributors. Therefore, the promotion had to be postponed and eventually came to stay very discreet. This album is the follow up to "Des germes de quelque chose". In fact one could understand the relation in between the latter as follows: the first had germs coming to create a living being and the second had been the rite of passage of that same living being into the life of an adult.
"Des rythmes de passage" is more complex in the sounds and the sequences than "Des germes de quelque chose". "Des rythmes de passage" introduced for the first time minimal yet present rhythmic structures that I since then worked on for my collaboration disc with Vromb "Le monorail / Pavillon des oiseaux" and on "Ékranoplanes". While my work "Perturbacée" helped me with the composition of "Des rythmes de passage", I tried to introduce further sonic developments. With "Ékranoplanes" this album is probably the most achieved disc in my discography.
