1997 release ** "Pianist and composer Patrick Scheyder, in a group or solo, explores improvisation, its expression, and the mechanical or technical means—here, the piano—of generating it. Thus, alongside encounters with jazz—including a constantly evolving piano duo with Bernard Lubat—this Trance is both a research into sound and a musical act. Jean Schwarz contributes recorded sounds, and Daniel Teruggi transforms them live. We hear knocking, reversed tapes, slowed down or sped up, reverberation effects, multiple distortions of the original piano sounds—strings, keys—unidentified sound creations, and a Sun Ra that echoes the aridities of concrete music."
