Vigroux states about his current work: \"I am not very talkative about my music unless I am specifically questioned, the immaterial dimension of music partly spares us from the major questions which are the prerogative of theatrical forms for which I am also very active, in this sense for me music is a real outlet where things are done intuitively, for pleasure\". Always pushing forth and expanding his now classic rigidly cold analog sounds and rhythmic structures entwined with lush atmospheric synth compositions, \"Grand Bal is another milestone in his ever growing discography\".\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aesthetical","offers":[{"title":"Black LP.","offer_id":50382099775819,"sku":"2182524","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD.","offer_id":50382099513675,"sku":"2182510","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/AES008CD_1622f8cd_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726242035"},{"product_id":"peau-froide-leger-soleil-fw","title":"Peau Froide, Leger Soleil","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis iconic album is the result of a three year recording process that began after Vainio and Vigroux’s first live performance in Paris in 2012. Their collaboration serves as an intricate balance of minimalist meditations and maximalist energy, pushing electronic music into radical new directions. Peau Froide, Léger Soleil is a journey through psychic resonance and spatial abstraction, constructed through Vainio’s intense, brutalist grooves and Vigroux’s explorations in tonal extremities. Spanning a total of nine tracks, the album unfolds like an odyssey, densely layered yet free from structural limitations, traversing vast emotional landscapes where each sound feels at once intimate and tectonic. Beginning with the ominous, bass-heavy textures of “Deux,” Vainio and Vigroux establish a dynamic atmosphere, setting the stage for the intense soundscapes to follow. “Mémoire” introduces ghostly voices that weave through thick waves of sub-bass and distorted noise, while “Souffles” explores uncharted sonic territories with its microtonal landscapes and spectral ambiance. Vigroux’s mastery over spatial abstraction comes to life in “Le Souterrain,” adding an atmospheric weight reminiscent of Ennio Morricone’s stark loneliness or Neil Young’s Dead Man soundtrack. In contrast, tracks like “Parabole” and “Le crâne tambour” unleash fierce, maximalist grooves, making them some of the most aggressive and memorable moments in Vainio’s discography.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aesthetical","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":51649366229323,"sku":"R8299-1818","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2LP -Black","offer_id":51649366262091,"sku":"R8299-1756","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/AES007CD.jpg?v=1744807777"},{"product_id":"konstellationen-sg","title":"Konstellationen","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith Konstellationen, Camilla Pisani explores language as a fluid and universal force, extending beyond words into sound, gesture, symbols, and even the movements of the stars. At the heart of the work lies rhythm, the fundamental principle linking music, astronomy, and human perception, transforming disparate forms of expression into a unified creative language. Through layered arrangements, hypnoEc pulses, and suspended atmospheric textures, Pisani creates a series of immersive sonic environments where rhythm becomes more than structure, evolving into a vehicle for emotion, transformation, and connection. Delicate yet powerful, the compositions unfold as dreamlike spaces suspended between inEmacy and vastness. Expanding beyond the purely musical, Konstellationen embraces a mulEdimensional arEsEc approach in which sound, text, and imagery exist in constant dialogue. Each composition is accompanied by wriEngs developed by the arEst over several years, offering poeEc entry points into the work and enriching its narrative depth. Conceived as both a personal reflection and a universal gesture, Konstellationen presents electronic music as a spiritual language, one capable of transcending cultural boundaries through shared sonic experience. Cyclical rhythms echo celesEal movements, natural forces, and collective human experience, inviEng listeners into a world where perception, imagination, and communication converge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aesthetical","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":57534672732491,"sku":"R9143-6131","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/AES014.jpg?v=1780932556"},{"product_id":"leavings-ww","title":"Leavings","description":"\u003cp\u003eFollowing the acclaimed previous album \"Transcend\", which seamlessly traversed experimental electronics and obscure Techno-infused structures, Frederic Arbour returns with his most daring and transformative work to date. \"Leavings\" marks a decisive departure from established forms. Where its predecessor gradually evolved through recognisable rhythmic frameworks and narrative progression, this new album ventures into increasingly abstract territories, dissolving conventional structures in favor of fluid movement, insEnctive composition, and perpetual transformation. Across nine expansive pieces, Arbour explores the threshold between rhythm and abstraction. Pulses emerge only to fragment. Paderns suggest direction before evaporaEng into vast textural environments. The result is a body of work that embraces ambiguity, inviEng listeners into a space where certainty is abandoned and exploration becomes the guiding principle. The album's Etle carries mulEple resonances. Leavings suggests remnants, traces, and fragments len behind aner a process of transformation. It evokes both departure and residue, the echoes of former idenEEes, structures, and creative languages that persist even as new forms emerge. Throughout the album, sounds appear as arEfacts in motion, suspended between memory and reinvention. Textures drin between shadow and illumination, density and empEness. Moments of fragile beauty emerge from complex layers of sound, only to recede again into abstraction. A quiet tension permeates the work, the sensation of crossing invisible thresholds while navigaEng territories that resist fixed definition. Neither a conEnuation nor a rejection of previous works, Leavings stands as a document of transition. It captures the ferEle space between dissolution and creation, where familiar forms are relinquished and unforeseen possibiliEes begin to take shape. With Leavings, PURGATE enters a new phase of arEsEc evolution, craning an immersive and deeply evocative work that transcends genre boundaries while remaining rooted in the project's enduring fascination with atmosphere, depth, and transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aesthetical","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":57534672830795,"sku":"R2942-5287","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/AES013.jpg?v=1780932785"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/aesthetical-2.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
