about

«L'extinction finale vers laquelle nous entraîne la perpétuation de la société industrielle est devenue en très peu d'années notre avenir officiel.» — J. Semprun, R. Riesel

«La marche de l'histoire étouffe la voix de la terre. Son avancée a pulvérisé les murs de la cité comme elle écrasera ceux de la conscience. Être chez soi partout, telle est la loi qu'une civilisation trop mûre impose à l'homme qu'elle a transformé, de semence en fruit pourri.» — E. Cioran

Standardization, production, concentration, pollution, lifestyles and beliefs are becoming uniform, mass culture shapes minds, individualist atomization reduces the last impulses to ashes, social networks and tourism in all its forms are romanticized to excess, industrial society and its eternal optimism, a bulimic monster with connected gums and mechanized fangs, organizes and devours beings, nature and the living, from the cosmos to the depths of the earth.

Contrary to a haggard techno-solutionism or a hedonism whipped by panic, Pentti offers us here a catastrophist, heresiarchal and pessimistic rhetoric, through the acid spectrum of hazardous industrial music contrasting with fierce fieldrecordings. Immersing himself in past and present ecological disasters, drawing his inspiration from the constant brutality of the domination of technology and science, Pentti uproots from the abyss an ambivalent dialectic of ancient times face of modernity, from wild fantasy to the fictional world of telescreens, from lush countryside to devouring suburbia.

Spurred on by the rapid transformation of which no one can predict the form it will take, la Grande Mue de l'Entre-Deux Gaves is a delirious and mystical observation of the deformation of everything that tends towards balance and harmony — and like a bitter and violent wish that the strategy of confusion, instability, fragmentation carried out by technology and the modern, fail in a deafening crash to leave only the nothingness that it inspires.

Finally, from despair to anguish, from disillusionment to bitterness, this epanalepsis seems to conclude: “Delenda est Carthago”.

This album is dedicated to Theodore Kaczynski.

«Pentti joue avec les redondances, nous perd avec ses ambiances à la proximité désarmante, accumulant les effets subtils et les samples engagés. On sent un monde disparaitre sous nos oreilles, se liquéfiant au contact d’un air pollué et acide. Les stridences sont les ultimes soufles agoniques d’une humanité malade, rongée par le désespoir et la fin inéluctable de toute forme de « civilisation ». L’animalité disparait au profit d’un semblant de technologie salvatrice. Le monde est mort. Fascinant»

about

Cioran Records France

We condemn.
We declaim the trial.
Neither fatalism nor free will.
We are the plants that appear to their own demise.
The root is damaged, soon the branches will follow.
Our souls are pure, but become corrupted in their corrupt bodies.
Our days devour us.
The muse gives off its best scent when broken.
We believe that the tree's worst enemy is the seed that comes out of its kidneys.
