Info-text (Spectre, text by Bauke Van Der Wal):
Translation of 'Le pêcheur de noyés' is almost impossible, but 'The
fisher of drowned ones' covers it quite good. Nautilus, the water
based sub-division of Spectre Records, presents its tenth release
and all honours go to Vromb.
The Canadian sculptor of electronic sounds pictures life below
water-level and sadly for us humans, the oxygen-level isn't high
enough to survive ...
'Le pêcheur de noyés' is the story about Roger Girard who - as a
scubadiver - searched for and found several corpses of drowned
people. Not the most cheerful of stories to tell, but a fact of life. His
stories have been well documented over the years and this CD add
a new dimension to the archives.
The atmosphere and underwater sounds are amazingly well caught
by Roger Girard's son Hugo, who happens to be Vromb.
Deep rumbling sounds, oxygen masks producing waterbubbles and
a cry for help which wasn't heard in time.
The characteristic rhythm based soundsculptures of Vromb are on
this album accompanied by more ambient works; A bit
compareable with the ones we have gotten to know on 'Jeux de
Terre'. The result is an honest, sincere and very personal release
which only one man could write. This release comes in a deluxe-box
with many additional items like postcards, stickers and a pin, but
also copies of the actual newspaper clippings from the recoveries by
Roger Girard.
The result is most impressive in more ways then one ...
