about

"February 2021. During a stay in an isolated house in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, I returned to four compositions Renaud Bajeux had sent me a few months prior. I had listened intently and enjoyed them very much, but in this new setting, at this very moment, they took on another dimension. For several days, I went on long walks in the surrounding nature and this album, all in half-light, became an obsession. In sync with the perfection of this moment, with this place, it began to haunt me from dawn till long past dusk. At times calming and meditative, at times wild, rugged, and maybe even dangerous, the music seemed to mirror the mountain landscape encircling me. It became evident that Seeking a Vision would be released on Fragments."

Seeking a Vision follows Renaud Bajeux’s first album, Magnetic Voices from the Unseen (Nahal Recordings, 2019), an exploration of electromagnetic fields. In this second opus, Bajeux works with the sound palette of a Serge synthesizer, combining its polymorphic sounds with field recordings of nature. The album’s four parts can be seen as a continuous mental journey through multiple layers of consciousness. Carried by whispering winds and the cracklings of a campfire, they proceed toward meditative states and obscure inner landscapes.

Seeking a Vision was recorded during an INA GRM residency. Elevation was commissioned by the INA GRM.

Renaud Bajeux is a French composer and film sound designer. His work his primarily based on field recordings and modular synthesizers. It can be located at the crossroads of electroacoustic music, noise, and ambient. Renaud Bajeux’s most recent release is a duet with Antoine Gilloire titled Underwater Soil (Superpang, 2021).

working my way thru the first side and already this is a 'wow' moment. brilliantly layered collages that pulsate and demand your attention. I'm not great with genres but I could say it's somewhat like black meditative music. John Seltenreich

Distortion Hue

This record is a dense, lush jungle of endlessly engrossing soundscapes that rewards deep listening just as richly as it excels as background mood music. Heavy, but not necessarily dark, Distortion Hue has appropriately soundtracked many moments of my life over the last year, providing a foil to the events of our time while offering a safe sonic buffer to contemplate them. Aside from being emotionally explorative, Westbrook’s work here is also technically astounding; truly a tour de force. John Jolley
