"Dass SYLVAIN CHAVEAU, dessen Pianoträumerei Un autre Decembre (BA 42) auf FatCat erschien, mit Touching Down Lightly (cs 152) nun Labelkollege von Phil Minton wurde, zeigt, wie nichtexistent die Zäune innerhalb des Außerhalb längst sind. Deutlich wird wieder Chaveaus Leitbild, die sparsame Bilderwelt von Robert Bresson und minimalistischer Malerei. Gewidmet hat er seine flüchtigen, nachdenklichen, vagen Noten Félicia Atkinson, die sich mit La La La (BA 61) als seelenverwandte Melancholikerin gezeigt hat. Wie seine extrem reduzierten Gedichte - nur einzelne Buchstaben und Zeichen, weiträumig auf dem weißen Blatt verstreut - , sind Chaveaus Noten nur der gelegentlich hörbare Aspekt einer ansonsten nicht artikulierbaren Gefühlswelt. Non voce sed corde canere." [Bad Alchemy]
"This is Sylvain Chauveau record #8. Sylvain Chauveau, piano. Recorded in 2008 by John McEntire in Chicago. 'Touching Down Lightly is a new full-length (surprise) album out on the Creative Sources imprint. Performed by Sylvain Chauveau (piano), recorded and mixed by John McEntire in Chicago. This is not the song-based album started early 2007 (still unfinished for now). Touching Down Lightly is the result of one day of improvisation at Soma Electronic Music Studio late November 2008: a way to create fresh, intuitive music, to play instantly, to avoid thinking during months before recording a single sound. This CD will be just one long piano piece (47 minutes), described as full of silences, soft piano notes, and very long sustains."
