about

'Rêves de Béton' has been nominated by the CQM (PRIX OPUS)
for the best electro-acoustic album produced in 2015-16

INSPIRATION : nature, urban decay, op-art, 60's music & cinema

"Les gens qui racontent que le béton est bête, lourd et grossier sont du genre à se laisser tromper par les apparences." -Bernard Arcand

"Le Corbusier aussi s'est ignominieusement trompé : jamais on n'utilisera le ciment armé sur les autres planètes." -Salvador Dali

"Reinforced concrete and electronic music may have much more in common than we think. Paradoxically, electronic music, fruit of technological innovations, seems often to refer to nature and its elements while concrete, symbol of technological achievement, invites itself into our world as naturally as the ground beneath our feet.

For decades, both served as visual and hearing landmarks in building the futuristic society we know today. However, with overused concrete drying up, showing cracks and electronic music becoming more and more popular, we need to dream again... dream further.

"Rêves de Béton" is about finding the wonder in the mundane again. It's about finding the enthusiasm and excitement felt by the electronic music pioneers, back in the days when the year 2000 seemed like a new area filled with promises. With this album I also wanted to mention the decrepitude, the neglect, the escape to nature, the endless search for empty spaces."

REVIEWS

Earshot Magazine - Rêves de Beton, is a challenging listen, short ideas of song merging ambient and glitch electonics masterfully. Beullac is making some dramatically expressive music here, and his range is staggering over these two disks.

Vital Weekly - Galerie Stratique does things very well. Each piece is made with quite some imagination, and also the variation is well considered on this album. An excellent mixture of electronic tunes.

Back Seat Mafia/Ride the Tempo - It’s a distillation. As a representation of how removed we have become from both our spiritual selves and the organic earth, it is chilling. As a work of experimental electronica, it’s fascinating.

Le Canal Auditif - Beullac nous emporte dans un rétrofuturisme de grande qualité. Rêves de Béton est un album pour audiophile d’abord. Il a un côté intellectuel pour son inspiration de Schaeffer et Stockhausen, culturel pour ses sonorités indonésiennes, comique pour ses mises en scène rétro futuristes, ou technique pour l’excellence de la production.

As a band, they were really doing something strange at the time by making music that sounded so resolutely like it came from the bedroom of a solo producer. "Vocals" are just snatches of floating sound, drums are often electronic... all the instruments sound electronic. They were clearly inspired by dub (who isn't) and started with stripped-down fragments, but then kept whittling down from there. Mood-wise they're bleak yet beautiful, like enjoying a solo walk in an industrial landscape. Jascha Narveson
