ORION MUSIC WORKSHOP
“Territoires Fluences”
3rd album of the Orion Music Workshop, closing a trilogy started with Atmosôn (2021) and Mâlemort (2023). A sonic adventure between the imaginary folklore, post-industrial and fourth world / free jazz.
“Previously in Orion Music Workshop : the second adventure of our stellar hero, beautifully named Mâlemort, took off and cemented a cycle in three acts. This second step was a tour de force, with the compositions gaining in thickness and the subject matter becoming more refined, while retaining its industrial and bucolic DNA. Today, acknowledgements, here he go again. Orion’s really reaching for the stars as the albums come out, completely independent of an industry that wouldn't know where to put our protagonist, once again. At the start of a simple formula, this arte-povera concept which saw an ancestral flute player locked in at night in the IRCAM studios hacking the system, swapping keys, ignoring other ways than towards paranormal electronic music, primitive at heart but rising like hallucinogenic shrooms, while transcending the listener, tickling the senses and putting in a trance. Today, this third act is meant to be definitive, like a condensed version of the best of itself. Territoires Fluences, where previous attempts are perfected in your ears, where everything fits together enchantingly, where everything seems obvious. The Facteur Cheval has become the director of the magic cave, the typical Tom Val elements are present but more beautiful, more embodied. If you've enjoyed the atmospherics created by the man who creates moods with three bits of string, you'll fall in love for his latest mutation. It's warbling, it's scratchy, it sounds right. Above all, it's a moving album, with something soul-warming lurking behind the sonic squiggles. It's good to see the goblin grow up, leaving the lo-fi skirts behind and move into the league of the big… spirits who meet in Brocéliande at night to dance like Saint Guy. Special mention must go to La Théorie des événements, where the art of collaboration shines through, Jeanne Gorisse's double bass joyfully copulating with the raw maelstrom of this unique Workshop. This music, open to the other, to musicians and to the craziest or most radical poets, promises to be fascinating for a long time to come. The endless spiral?!”

ORION MUSIC WORKSHOP
“Mâlemort”
« We left our hero in his previous adventures embarking on a journey to the edges, where the music of a fantasized desert was playing in an outsider art gallery. Percussions of death, flutes leading to a weird ceremony, the new chapter hits hard. We sail in a canoe on a flow of organic sounds, this second volume follows the quest for a cosmic Grail where the dancefloor makes primitive rhyme with pleasurable. A fruitful novelty, the machine invites itself into the ancestral cave, a metronomic pulse plays the spinal column of an exciting and wonky groove. Result, a record taking his source in an after punk under the Bazooka standard. Kind of Throbbing Gristle in the forest of Brocéliande, La Perversita and Neu wandering off in the Atlas… A sonic restlessness which certainly evokes a venerable sensibility. Caught between two stools but the choice of not choosing will be the chosen option. Here and there, today and tomorrow, this music of the future and past is mesmerizing to the highest degree. »
Electronics, flutes, voice, zither, kalimba, glass, percussions (darbuka, hand percussion, balafon) by Tom Val. Recorded and mixed at Bâtiment 8 between October 2022 and December 2022.
