about

"The adventure began in June 2002 with two wonderful evenings at the Botanique Brussels devoted to crisscrossings and genre-stripping between electronic nomads and musicians, classically trained composers eager to mingle with other forms. The 'electronic stroller' Robin Rimbaud, explorer of urban interstices, was the first to answer our call and met with Jean-Paul Dessy in London to elaborate an approach to deterriotialised co-composition: cello sound samples during short improvisations and later reworked by Scanner/Rimbaud; electronic sequences and textures chosen by the Belgian composer and for which he wrote string parts. These are the terms of a dynamic exchange resulting in a work open to both digital gesture and acoustic composition."
Philippe Franck, Brussels, September 2004.

For the first time since 2004 these recordings can now be heard in remastered form, with the addition of 30+ minutes of unreleased material. Here is a live show recorded in Paris at the Fashion Week for the designer Hussein Chalayan, and two more works by Rimbaud that were sketched out in the studio but never released, expanding upon the themes of this exploration.
