Jonathan Fitoussi is a French composer that explores an electronic music versed in futuristic tones that evokes the vision of the future as it was perceived in the 60s or 70s, mixed with the perception of a unique, utopic world, yet to be reached, yet to be build.
On top of two live recordings, several collaborations and music for movies, this is his fifth solo album, and his first for Transversales Disques, a label he co-founded.
Leading the electronic aesthetic of its writer towards more rhythmic, hypnotic tracks, this album is also a new step in the ever growing discography of this musician.

"Recorded live in London earlier this year, the album makes use of two storied ’70s synthesizers – the semi-modular EMS Synthi AKS and the Buchla Music Easel – to craft a one-take improvisation that swells from spiritual drone to redemptive arpeggios.
Shimmering with the kind of electro-organic hybridity that will appeal to fans of Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Diagonals shows off Fitoussi’s passion for analogue studio technology and rare instruments, aided by his role as audio restoration engineer at Institut National de l’Audiovisuel – INA & GRM – Groupe de Recherches Musicales (Recollection GRM)."
