Nowadays, however, he seems to be moving to altogether different realms of musical exploration. When commissioned to compose this performance work LE CORPS UTOPIQUE (that’s “The Utopian Body” in English) he called on musician friend Dominique Beven to fill the role of winds player, which then led to creating a music of acoustic and electronic textures between them. About the performance, we’re told “In 2018, actress and dancer Emma Gustafsson and director Laurent Hatat (Anima Motrix Company) decided to reproduce a radio lecture by French philosopher Michel Foucault on stage… by dancing it!” The results are quite engaging, and very surprising, and unlike anything I’ve heard from Laurent before. As such, the music here ranges from moody and abstract to lively, from sombre ritualistic meditations to vibrant dances, sometimes it gets close in feel to Jon Hassell at his creative best, and then sometimes unlike anything I’ve heard before. In all, it’s quite a captivating and fascinating release." [Audion]
