Molti sono i punti a favore de Mathias Delplanque all’analisi ravvicinata del sua nuovo album “Passeportsâ€. Innanzittuo l’autore francese appare assai abile nella documentazione e nell’elaborazione dei materiali che costituiscono la struttura portante per i sette segmenti dell’album (si tratta di registrazioni sul campo relative all’ambito del trasporto: stazioni, porti, parcheggi e altre zone di …

“Passeports†reviewed by Cyclic Defrost
As the title implies Passeports by Matias Delplanque is concerned with geography, particularly locis of transport – train stations, harbours, parking lots – in the cities of Nantes, Lille and Dieppe, France. Delplanque works by processing field recordings from these locations, softening them into gauzy, cushioned blurs, identifiable traces peeking through the haze. Elements of …

“Passeports†reviewed by RifRaf
Ami lecteur, toi qui apprends par coeur les articles de RifRaf, tu n’as pas oublié qu’en juin dernier, nous nous étions enthousiasmes pour ‘Circonstances / Variations 1-4’ – les très belles relectures dub que Mathias Delplanque avait signée d’un de ses titres lorsqu’il se cache sous le pseudo de Lena. allons droit au but, le …
“Passeports†reviewed by Drowned in Sound
Composed from field recordings collected in transport-related zones around France – harbours, car parks and train stations – Mathias Delplanque’s album traffics in a dense ambience that tends towards the minatory, pointing up the uncertain, interstitial nature of transit. ‘Passeport 1 (Nantes)’ rolls out corrupted foghorn calls one over the other, with rattling train carriages …

Après les Circonstances de Lena et les Parcelles de Mathias Delplanque tous deux publiés en début d’année sur son propre label, le Français enchaînait avec ces Passeports sortis en partenariat entre Bruit Clair et notre petit chouchou Crónica. L’album est composé de sept pièces simplement numérotées de Passeport 1 à Passeport 7, avec à chaque …
“Passeports†reviewed by Dark Entries
Deze Passeports is een intense plaat. Dit komt zowel door de muziek zelf als door de modus operandi van de artiest en zeker ook door de associaties die de muziek teweeg bracht. Enige verduidelijking. Delplanque beschouwt zijn werkstukken als auditieve paspoorten van de plaatsen waar hij zijn veldopnames gemaakt heeft; zij het nu -de hanvens …

“Passeports†reviewed by Goûte Mes Disques
La majorité des gens normalement constitués détestent les transports en commun : antithèse de la propreté, lieu de transit tout ce qu’il y a de plus impersonnel et moments d’attente bien souvent rédhibitoires. Les allégories ne manquent pas quand il s’agit d’évoquer cette institution pourtant au cÅ“ur de la vie de tous. Pourtant, au delà …

“Passeports†reviewed by Monsieur Delire
A moving reccord (pun intended). First, Mathias Delplanque made field recordings in transportation-related locations (train stations, harbours, parking lots, etc.) and in a call centre in India (which deserves Europe and America, hence its ties to the “transportation” theme). Then, he “moved” these recordings to his living room, playing them at home and recording that …
