Synchronicity & Wandering Current

“Synchronicity & Wandering Current” is a specific concept album by BRUME, based on a compact, closed composition, outlined in a way typical of Christan Renou’s work. This suite, lasting almost 60 minutes, divided into 3 parts: 1. “I Know You Well”, 2. “Tout peut faire tout” 3. “Iridium”, performed with particular attention to detail. Numerous loops, borrowings and cut-up figures seem to create a sophisticated, intuitively readable and exceptionally coherent message. With each successively sounding fragment, a narrative is realized in real time, intended to provoke the listener into multiple, in-depth and multi-layered reinterpretations. Thus, the creator invites his listener to co-create a work that is not completely closed, but with each listening allows for multiple, infinitely different realizations.
The recordings were made between January and March 2024, and Christian Renou invited several excellent musicians to make them, including: Jonathan Grieve (Hastings Of Malawi), Pat’ Blanch and trumpeter and saxophonist Patrick Mazaltarim.
CD in a six-panel eco-pack, designed based on the collages of the French artist Françoise Duvivier, whose works have previously appeared on several BRUME covers.
