Jonathan Fitoussi - Plein Soleil

Jonathan Fitoussi is a French composer that explores an electronic music versed in futuristic tones that
evokes the vision of the future as it was perceived in the 60s or 70s, mixed with the perception of a unique,
utopic world, yet to be reached, yet to be build. On top of two live recordings, several collaborations and music
for movies, this is his fifth solo album, and his first for Transversales Disques, a label he co-founded.
Leading the electronic aesthetic of its writer towards more rhythmic, hypnotic tracks, this album is also a new
step in the ever growing discography of this musician.
In Plein Soleil, Jonathan Fitoussi explores the continent of his electronic instruments, watching them move
along with him on his journey, like uncharted territories, beyond what’s already been said, done, composed
and played. In these tracks, or should we say, between them, something new unfurls. Where, in the past,
musical mechanism, melodic shades were shaped by atmospheric frames, reluctant to choose between
amniotic and repetition, what’s at play here is of a different nature, more rhythmic, all made of vibrating
percussion, of synthetic sparkles that bump into each other and reverberate. The hypnosis of the percussion,
the trance of the desiring-machines, the synthesizers immanence, dreaming themselves as bongos, as bass,
vibraphones, marimbas, while floating high above, or sometimes far below, timid waves, drones, threads
connects the beats together.
This is not a dance record, but this a record that’ll caught you dancing, dreaming inside of these tracks leading
to other places that at first only exist because of the power of the spirit: “Rayons solaires”, “Vents
magnétiques”, “Soleil de minuit”, “Continent blanc”, “Amazonie”…
