Statique is the fifth full length album on Mille Plateaux and Force Inc. labels by Automatisme, the Canadian musician and conceptual artist William Jourdain active since 2011. Jourdain met the label owner Achim Szepanski in 2019 and did an album in solo (Alter-, Mille Plateaux, 2020) plus four others in collaborations (with iadema, Beyond Humans, Stefan Paulus, and Viatorism in duo with Pheek). Automatisme now returns as a solo act on that label. The results are, on one side, an expanded vision of fast rhythmic clicks and cuts, like on his "Alter-Rate" tracks and that are entitled "Ultra-Rate" on the Statique album. On the other side, it is the multiple "Ultra-Scape" tracks that are an augmented version of the granulized ambient dub techno he developed since the beginning of the Viatorism moniker. Jourdain adds elements of chaos and perturbation into algorithmic electronic music like static electricity is the presence of a disturbing body in a circuit.
