A cosmic journey into the beating heart of the orchestra: the string quartet. The innovative composer Labelle covers themes such as language, culture, and heritage on his new record, Eclat. Sparked by a moment of revelation during the rehearsal of his previous album, the critically acclaimed Orchestre Univers (2019), Eclat is a record about the unspoken, almost telepathic language between musicians playing together onstage, a metaphysical element of sound that can elevate music into the spiritual. Even the electronic parts on the record were recorded live with the string quartet, and acted as a means of conduction on stage, thus making Labelle a part of the musical conversation. The result is a transcendental record that eschews traditional rules of composition and recording, and pushes the boundaries of what classical music can be. With strong influences of his home -- La Reunion -- and its musical culture of Maloya, Eclat is a unique and beautiful journey into unknown territory.
