After having paired up with Murcof on his first album ‘Not For Piano’ on InFiné and being remixed by Apparat, Kiki, Balil and Carl Craig, Francesco Tristano will release 10th November ‘Auricle Bio On’ a keystone post-produced by Moritz Von Oswald, propelling his career towards new and unexplored sonic territories.

Mixed almost live with piano samples, Francesco unveils with this new project his thirst for sound experimentation and techno.

“Since John Cage, we know that every single noise is music. A piano is also a machine, an outstanding sound source and I use it […] to get effects, which are directly inspired by techno,” confesses Francesco.

‘Auricle Bio On’ captures - in two tracks over twenty minutes long - the uniqueness of Francesco’s live experience, equally disconcerting and enjoyable but never annoying.

It takes its listener on a musical journey driven by cluster, flanger and oscillator sounds, improvised by the musician on his machine.

They alternate phases of tension and relief in a movement of spontaneity relevant to some of the best jazz recordings of the seventies.

No surprise then to find Moritz von Oswald on post-production for ‘Auricle Bio On’.

Only the brains behind TV Victor, Rhythm and Sound and the M-series could have been able to reveal a third dimension from those raw stereo recordings, widening its sound pallet, without removing their freshness.

Both musicians will take part in Carl Craig and Les Siecles`s collective ‘Versus’ project at La Cité de la Musique, 18th October.
