The members can change according to each project. The founding members live in France (Joël Merah), Spain (Stéphane Garin) and Belgium (Sylvain Chauveau), with a rotating set of musicians from Western Europe. In 2016 a section of ensemble 0 has been created in Brussels featuring Florent Garnier, Jean-François Brohée, and Chauveau. This trio has spent one and a half year composing new acoustic pieces, playing them live, recording and mixing them. This is the music for this album on flau: 8 tracks with percussion, harmonium, ebows and guitar, with the addition of Thomas Jean Henri (aka Cabane) and Antoine Pasqualini (aka Monolithe Noir) as guests. The original idea of the Brussels section of ensemble 0 was to create an acoustic repertoire with few instruments, so that all the equipment could be carried to perform the music anywhere (in the street, in parks, in appartments and in music venues). Finally a few touches of electricity have been added on the album with the presence of Antoine Pasqualini's modular synth.

The 50-minute work for 3 vibraphones and 20-channel 1-bit electronics is performed by the dynamic French group, ensemble 0, who return to Erased Tapes following their 2023 collaboration with Peter Broderick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerich’s music spans the electronic\/classical divide, with explorations that pair string instruments, piano, organ, and other acoustic instrumentation with custom-built 1-bit electronics, including his recent Drift Multiply, for 50 violins and 50 speakers. This newest release, Open Symmetry, pares the ensemble down to just 3 musicians playing the resonant metal bars of 3 vibraphones accompanied with a glistening ensemble of 20 speakers, each playing their own separate musical part of the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1-bit sound is Perich’s core musical language, creating an aural and conceptual consistency across his major works. His 2004 release, 1-Bit Music, was the first album released as a microchip, which plays its music through a headphone jack in the side of the CD case that houses an electronic circuit. With 1-bit sound, the audio waveform is built from 1s and 0s, the binary language of information, in contrast to the perpetual stride towards higher fidelity with 16- or 24-bit, and most recently 32-bit audio. When stripping away all those bits, the result is a primitive, square-shaped tone, which Perich either presents on its own (as in his circuit albums or solo shows), or blends it with classical instrumentation, each composition an experiment in sonic colour, shape, and form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans of Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Terry Riley.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erased Tapes","offers":[{"title":"Clear LP","offer_id":50430226760011,"sku":"2201107","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50430226432331,"sku":"2201106","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/6ff9b398-4aee-517b-7bb5-f156bd5acdfe_536df30d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726845978"},{"product_id":"jojoni-2","title":"Jojoni","description":"\u003cp\u003eEnsemble 0 is a contemporary music group that mostly performs works by modern composers, as well as compositions by its three members, Sylvain Chauveau (acoustic guitar, glockenspiel),Stephane Garin (metal percussion) and Joel Merah (acoustic guitar).
