Mathias Delplanque - LInondation

Review by Sebastian Glabutschnig

Mathias Delplanque's album "L'Inondation" is a remarkable work of ambient music that takes listeners on a journey through a hauntingly beautiful soundscape. The album features a unique blend of electronic and acoustic sounds, with Delplanque's mastery of sound design evident in every track.

The album is a tribute to the devastating floods that occurred in France in 1910, and the music reflects the power and beauty of nature. The opening track, "Les Eaux Montent", sets the tone for the album with its slow, pulsing rhythm and atmospheric textures. The album then moves through a series of evocative pieces, each one building on the themes and motifs introduced in the opening track.

Throughout the album, Delplanque creates a sense of tension and release, with moments of quiet contemplation giving way to intense waves of sound. The use of field recordings and found sounds adds an organic quality to the music, giving it a sense of place and time.

Summary by Sebastian Glabutschnig

"L'Inondation" is a masterful work of ambient music that will appeal to fans of the genre and anyone looking for a deeply immersive listening experience. Delplanque's attention to detail and his ability to create a rich, textured sound world make this album a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of electronic and acoustic music.
