Un Autre Decembre
This short-length record is Chauveau’s contribution to the famous english label FatCat (Sigur Ros, Mum...). “Un Autre Décembre” was one of the first releases on the label’s modern classical imprint 130701, which later became the home of Max Richter and Hauschka. Inspired by the straight aesthetics of director Robert Bresson, Sylvain Chauveau gave up for a while his usual string arrangements to focus further on the core of his music: very quiet, slow piano notes, discreet electronic abstractions. Only the essential.
