Difference and Repetition : A Musical Evocation Of Gilles Deleuze

Featuring : Richard Pinhas, Thierry Zaboitzeff (Art Zoyd), Alain Damasio & Rhys Chatham. This new album (the tenth in their discography) was born from two ambitions: to pay tribute to Soft Machine's Third on form (four sides / four titles) and to philosopher Gilles Deleuze (Difference and Repetition is the title of his thesis) on the contents. The four long pieces of this double concept album were developed over two years and each has a different style and climate.

Bold and kaleidoscopic, Difference and Repetition perfectly synthesizes the musical and literary obsessions of Palo Alto. In recent years, Palo Alto has multiplied musical collaborations with, among others, The Residents, Ptôse, Klimperei, Tuxedomoon... From industrial music to inextricable electronic ramifications, by making a detour through improvisation, the musical universe of Palo Alto is multifaceted. Their new album is no exception to this rule.
