Martin Tetreault - Vraiment Plus De Snipetes !!! [Ambiances Magnetiques 280]

Put out on the circuit via the long standing Canadian imprint that is Ambiances Magnetiques as their cat.no. 280 on December 6th, 2k24 is "Vraiment Plus Des Snipettes!!!", the latest full length album outing by experimental musician x turntable improviser Martin Tetreault, an almost 78 minutes spanning opus featuring a set of 24 relatively short compositions as well as the 27 - sic! - minutes covering closing piece that is "From Raymond A Micheline". And once again Mr. Tetreault delivers an almost overwhelming and quasi-unfathomable amount of sonic events per second in his highly detailed pieces, covering an ark of musical techniques ranging from turntablism to cut-up, collage, Plunderphonics and beyond, bordering on Musique Concrete at times, preparing a take on looped - or un-looped - FoundSound paired with unearthed Spoken Word samples of various sources, at times even implementing quirky 4-2-the-floor structures reminiscent of conceptual Minimal Techno whilst others like "Percuvox" cater utter lo-fi chaotics, others dive deep into granular electro-acoustic composition, might feature an array of purely mechanical sounds, dabble around with varying Future Tribal rhythms like "Objets", traverse into retrofuturist Avantgarde Space Age Listening scapes in "Du Buzz Du Grain Du Horn" or dive deep into tense educational materials in pieces like "Communication" whereas "Edgar & Cie" might find a place in a highly dramatic B-movie sci-fi score and the "Strange Ukulele" fully lives up to its name just to name a few. Surely an intriguing, multi-layered highly recommended album for fans and followers of truly experimental Avantgarde music which requires more than just one dedicated listening session to be embraced in all its hypergranular glory.
