Living Room
is the third solo album by
Roméo Poirier
and, following his much-praised
Hotel Nota
(2020), his debut for Faitiche. The French musician and producer transforms the layering of different times into a free-flowing pulse that sounds both nostalgic and mysteriously ahistorical. Poirier takes music seriously as a time-based art -- not just in the sense of duration, but also in the way time is refracted into autobiographical experience, historical dimensions, and stages of evolution. By immersing and reflecting himself in these different layers, he creates a succession of new balances between various tempos, iterations and developments. Poirier's music emerges from a continual questioning and reformulation of his own oeuvre and thus of his own past, drawing on an ever-expanding archive of self-recorded loops. "I always resample myself, using fragments of a track to make a new one, as an ongoing process," he explains: "The sound is evolving with me in parallel and the loops carry in their DNA all transformational stages, filled with previous tracks, sedimented." Originally a drummer, Poirier connects his various sources almost without a clearly identifiable beat. He prefers an organic pulse, mutable like the human sense of time and its fluidity. The aquatic feel of certain tracks on
Living Room
is no coincidence: among other devices, he uses a waterproof loudspeaker and a hydrophone to play back and rerecord tracks in the bathtub. Drawing on a sample collection assembled by his father, also a musician, the human voice enters Poirier's music for the first time. But it remains free of overly unambiguous signifiers. Besides its link to time, the fascinating thing about music is that it has meaning without needing to be decoded.
Living Room
goes back to the private but universal origin of human experience: "I liked the idea that a possible quest for a musician could be echoing the first encounter we had with language, in a prenatal state: its prosody, melody and tones, without being cluttered with meaning." Includes download code.
