TEMPS PERDU?

About Me

Since 1993 the german/french duo "Temps Perdu?" have brought us four albums of electronic, ambient, tribal, ethno space music crossing world cultures ancient and modern, to create music of such earthly tones, be it the beautiful enigmatic atmospheres to the other darker mysterious strains.
Temps Perdu? play an array of digital and analogue synthesizers, plus assorted world instruments. Samples taken from their extensive global travels have led them to bring many cultures on earth into their music, giving an inspiration timeless feel, full of the strong influences gained.
From 1992 till 1997 they operated their own label called Timebase. 4 CDs were released (2 Temps Perdu? and 2 multi artist compilations) and are still available here: www.tempsperdu.de
A new CD with pieces composed for compilations from 1988 to 2007 will be released in summer 2009 on the french label Kokeshidisk http://kokeshidisk.free.fr/

Sounds Like:

"From the oeuvre of the classic Jon Hassell/Brian Eno Fourth World sound comes this German ensemble whose ethereal tribal-ambient soundscapes are free-floating but often grounded by ceremonial percussion. Temps Perdu? creates otherwordly sounds to soothe the body and feed the mind - a good way to unwind at the end of the day."
Bryan Reesman, Napra Magazine [USA]
"The mysterious Temps Perdu? conceptualize this striking cover image through synth music that pretty much breaks the barriers. Ceremonial, tribal, shamanistic-the aesthetic is there but the members of Temps Perdu? are´n´t content with just adding themselves to the ethno-rank and file. Indescribable electronics merge with strangely pulsing rhythms and other esoteric sound effects to yield sacred cybernetic mantras for these evolutionary, technological times."
DARREN BERGSTEIN, i/e Magazine [USA]
"Temps Perdu? are one of a handful of bands that musically bridge the gaps between the ancient rhythms of earth and the voices of tomorrow, the sighs of ancestral spirits and the hisses of the industrial age. They accomplish this by joining synthetic and sampling technology with the rhythms and sounds we tend to associate with a more tribal culture."
