Op de Bandcamppagina van ‘Écouter les fantômes’ zegt Duplant over zijn werk: “My music is intended to be narrative and fictional. I do the same in my practice of photography (zie de hoezen van deze albums, red.) and writing. I never try to transcribe reality. This doesn’t interest me in any way. What, on the …

Credete ai fantasmi? Se sì, questo disco può spaventarvi. Altrimenti, può affascinarvi. L’artista francese Bruno Duplant è un compositore e polistrumentista che si è fatto conoscere nel campo della musique concrète. Tradotto: la musica concreta non utilizza né note né ritmi. Elabora suoni e rumori per restituire una parvenza di realtà oggettiva, per l’appunto concreta. Fin …

Bruno Duplant’s “Écouter les fantômes” is an immersive journey that sits at the intersection of sound art, memory, and the imagination. A prolific composer from Northern France, Duplant draws inspiration from literary figures such as Gaston Bachelard and Stéphane Mallarmé, blending their philosophical musings with musical influences from the likes of John Cage and Eliane …

La musique créée par Bruno Duplant parle directement avec une part profonde de ma quête artistique personnelle, celle de chercher à nous éloigner de la réalité pour pénétrer dans quelque chose d’impermanent et de mystérieux. Ecouter les fantômes déforme une part de notre dimension familière, pour en extraire un matériau se dissolvant dans un espace …

Bruno Duplant als Multimediakünstler zu bezeichnen, ist wohl die einzige Möglichkeit, seinem Werk in seiner Gesamtheit gerecht zu werden. Er komponiert, fotografiert, schreibt und so weiter. Vielleicht ist er einer der interessantesten Künstler der Gegenwart und Michael Pisaro-Liu beschreibt das sehr treffend (siehe sein Zitat). Mit seiner neuesten Veröffentlichung versucht er, das Unsichtbare, das Geisterhafte, …

When I sometimes write that people like Bruno Duplant (or Celer or Machinefabriek) appear almost every week in Vital Weekly, I am doing this in a loving and joking way. I like their music, and there’s an abundance out there, so what’s not to enjoy? I say this fully, realising I’m not the one buying …

Another splendid work by Bruno Duplant, one of my current personal favourites of enigmatic and sometimes minimal composition. His Sombres Miroirs (CRONICA 188-2022) is, by his standards, positively teeming with activity and events, and in this floating richness we can hear everything from backwards orchestras to uncertain cosmic gyrations – planets spinning or nebulae drifting into the distance. Profound, …
