Initially conceived under the title Colors of Noise, Concorde invites us into a parallel world where electronic textures, live instrumentation and oceanic sensations converge in a dreamlike sonic experience.
Composed with rare synthesizers such as the EMS VCS3, the Buchla Music Easel, the Minimoog and the Cristal Baschet, the album blurs the lines between analog pulse and natural breath. Alongside collaborators Maxence Crouzard (guitar) and François Lazarre des Moulins (drums), Bazin sculpts a music that moves between tension and resolution, movement and stillness.
Across the record, recurring motifs emerge and dissolve like waves on the shore. Tracks like Swollen Seas evoke the calm after the storm — soft repetition shaped by lunar cycles — while Dunes draws the listener through a drifting mirage, between hypnotic pulse and distant synth optimism. Supercollider condenses the album’s emotional arc in under three minutes, uniting arpeggios, subtle percussion and luminous guitar in a delicate, orbiting balance. Red Ochre, with its reverb-soaked surf guitar, adds warmth and a new color to a track otherwise immersed in cold, industrial textures.
Far from any strict genre, Concorde is both a human and sonic exploration — a nocturnal, weightless vibration, shaped by the machines but inhabited by emotion.

“A vibration oneirique… a sonic gesture driven by a body conscious only of its contact with the machine.”
“Delicately sleepwalking, weightless… softness hovers from end to end.”
“A world where rhythm and electricity hesitate between dog and wolf, between Germany and France, perhaps California.”
