about

This was the first public performance of Les Antonymes, recorded on May 18, 2023.

Les Antonymes is a variable-geometry band that sprung fully clad from Antonin De Bemels' mind and his desire to work on his compositions or improvisation frameworks with different musicians. No two concerts are the same. The same piece is never played twice, or at least not in the same way. You can expect craggy soundscapes, meandering melodies, and the occasional groove to stir things up a bit (although you won't know which foot to dance on).

To work with him this time, Antonin has enrolled fellow musician Frederic Aerden, with whom he has already collaborated several times with La fin des pseudonymes, and for the first - but probably not the last - time, multi-instrumentalist Philippe Van Bellinghen (here on the cello).

The man with wooden legged groove is back ! Very nice collection of dubby and technoid tracks, with beautiful pads and crispy textures, oscillating between dreamy, playful and awkwardly funky tunes and more nightmare-ish stuff. Big up ! brut_willis
