Rue des Garderies is a distillate produced by the spontaneous collaborationof Désiré Bonaventure and Zach,Two musicians evolving in the Parisian alternative scenes and so named in homage to a former local hotspot of other-music
Rue des Gardes - now bygone - where this improvisation took place. Accustomed to exorcising time and space with the multidisciplinary collective †een▲ge g☺d, Zach has also been evolving in various frequencies -beatmaking, mastering - for over 15 years. Désiré Bonaventure, on the other hand, is a member of the duo Euphonic Alliances Ltd. and R.A.F. Soundsystem.
Rue des Garderies was recorded in one take, using samplers and effects, amidst a tangle of cables, with eyes closed, as dawn approached, in anticipation for another moment of the present. Here, Désiré and Zach delve into the in-between worlds (musical, but not limited to), immersing themselves in their cracks, folds and emanations, attempting to narrat them to us. From this material they shape a new alchemy lasting over 1h30,
akin to a prolonged journey into psychedelia, drawing from various currents
(such as ambient, drone, IDM, dub techno, and the English electronic scene of the 1990s),rich in organic and analogue textures that overlap, stretch, fold and expand. The result is a grand and ethereal fresco, with shifting colours and textures, evoking astral projections and sporadic rhythms; a whole other world, populated by shapes, hues and new lives, forming a complex but enchanting sound essay. Born of a fragile chaos,
Rue des Garderies is an ephemeral harmony that accompanies moments of existence; a dance without tangible movement.
