Paul Clouvel perfectly embodies the free figure of today's musician.\" - <\/i>J.Issel\u00e9\/DNA newspaper<\/p> <p>\"<em>The sounds are unidentifiable, but gradually take on a chamber orchestral guise, into which a Wild West choochoo whistle introduces the railway association. Numerous rhythms and sounds then pile up, one after the other, like shadows cast from a bygone era of steam trains, tracks beaten in break beats, tunnels muffling the roar of heavy motion, relentless inertia of might on the move\u2026The rhythms arrive at a Central African pygmy percussion and a dream-state alteration of phases: very ingenious and listenable. Vocals are introduced in a backwards, slowing-down spiral, while railway crossing signals are treated like Christmas Carol bells! Gravel is poured down your left ear, while the likeness of Chowning FM synthesis run down your right ear. Nice work! You name it, we like it!\" - <\/em>Ingvar Loco Nordin in Sonoloco about \"Canranc\"<\/p> <p>\"<em>a clever and well executed piece of text-sound and electroacoustics, sliding back and forth between the realms of musique concr\u00e8te, contemporary instrumental art music and electroacoustics as such!
