November

'November' is the extraordinary collaboration between film soundtrack composer and 'The Young God's' drummer Bernard Trontin and Simon Huw Jones, singer/lyricist of 'And also the trees'. They were brought together by a record shop owner in Geneva not long after Jones had moved from England to live in Switzerland in 2000. Both were admirers of each others work but were unaware they were living in the same town. The initial idea for Jones to contribute a vocal to a track on an album of Trontin's compositions eventually evolved into a project for a full album which they recorded over a two year period in the garret of eccentric Argentinean sound engineer 'Sarten' Asaresi, while the mastering was given to Denis Blackham (Biosphere, In Gowan Ring, Velma, ...). With the simple title 'November', the album unites deep, electronic sound-waves, low-fi loops, glitches and rhythmic pulses with a vocal that drifts from subtle melody to poetic narrative and is a unique contribution to the world of electronic music.
