Michel Henritzi, Fukuoka Rinji – Le Jardin Bizarre (An'archives 2013)
Le Jardin Bizarre » (the odd garden) is the follow up to the album
“Outside Darkness”, released in 2011 by PSF. It is a hollow album,
stretching out long rests in which a sticky melancholy, an infinite
sadness amplifies itself. 6 tracks dark as so many gardens – gardens
seen through night, 6 shades of black, 6 colours of silence. While
“Outside Darkness” appeared like a shadow cast over Fukushima, “Le
Jardin Bizarre” is it’s elegy. Disquieting calligrams made of tight,
feverish strings, like black ink lines on a blank white page. Melodies
as manifold as so many little pieces of night music, perforated by
devouring rests, tunes dying in the echo. “Le Jardin Bizarre” is an
asphyxiated, modern blues album - Mono No Aware or the melancholy of
our times.
