about

Avec son sixième CD pour Trace Label, et après ses aventures avec le trio Endlesston (« Between time » sur Infrastition), Laurent Saïet quitte les terres cinématographiques pour prendre comme inspiration les nouvelles de H.P. Lovecraft. Chaque titre de cet album porte le nom d’un lieu fictif ou réel issu de ces nouvelles (Arkham ; Miskatonic ; Providence…) ou bien de figures emblématiques de son œuvre culte (Necronomicon ; Cthulhu). Avec l’aide de musiciens invités (Quentin Rollet, Jean-Noël Cognard, Ben Ritter), Laurent Saïet tente de recréer l’atmosphère si particulière de chacune des nouvelles choisies, par des paysages sonores contemplatifs, étranges, inquiétants ou même cauchemardesques sur la fin : une menace invisible présente sur tout l’album éclate sur le dernier titre « Cthulhu ».

With his sixth solo album on Trace Label, and after his adventures with the Endlesston trio (“Between time” on Infrastition), Laurent Saïet leaves cinematographic lands to take an inspiration in H.P. Lovecraft’s short stories. Each title of this album use the name of fictional or real places from these stories (Arkham; Miskatonic; Providence …) or emblematic figures of his literary work (Necronomicon; Cthulhu). With the help of guest musicians (Quentin Rollet, Jean-Noël Cognard, Ben Ritter), Laurent Saïet tries to recreate the singular atmosphere of each of these short stories, with contemplative, strange & disturbing soundscapes ou even nightmarish at the end: An invisible threat existing on the whole album bursts on the last title “Cthulhu”.
