French constructionist Jean-Emmanuel Rosnet describes his latest suite of sound collages as “improvised landscapes and odes to everyday moments,” woven from a patchwork of modular synthesis, tape techniques, resampling, and digital processing. Les Alentours evokes overlapping dimensions of its creator’s ‘surroundings’ – physical, metaphysical, sonic, psychic.

Flickering electronics and hymnal hazes murmur within a web of restless ASMRbient dissociatives: crackling, pitter patter, plucked strings, smeared horns. Recorded both before and during a relocation from Lyon to the rolling hills and glacial valleys of the Livradois-Forez natural park two hours west, the album’s nine pieces capture a mood of whispered transience and unfamiliar thresholds, crafted from vignettes of “poetic intimacy in which to become lost and disappear.
