Tapes and Topographies - Opiates (2018)

These pieces seem on the surface to be abstract soundscapes, but each evocatively titled piece gradually takes on a filmic quality as Gautreau bends and shapes the sounds until a narrative unfolds. Far from being an album to zone out to, Opiates is more like an engrossing collection of sonic short stories or films seen only by the mind’s eye. – stationary travels

Unknown circumferences, bewitching drones, distant estuaries, never tried chills, dreams that travel on the highest point of the sound waves, are there, among the traces of the albums, as invisible driving spirits. Impalpable presences ready to keep us company on a return trip over the border of emotions. Towards an Elsewhere that begins and ends within us.
