“Returns”
"RETURNS is a suite in four parts. At the beginning each part was a musical composition as such but finaly after a while the idea of an organisation of this different parts was introduced. The first part, mixed with the sound of different broken glasses, is a musical overture and introduce with his rhythms and his melodies the following parts. The three following parts are mixed with different sounds from records played on turntables with variable-speed drives.
With the intense focus of a scientist fed up with pointless repetition, Pascal takes a scalpel to composition, improvisation and performance, and (with the most basic means) examines their sameness, and their miniscule but important differences."

“Landscapes’
Pascal Le Gall, electrophon Philips (6rpm), laptop. Landscapes was mixed and recorded in the home-studio of Pascal Le Gall in Tours March 2016.
A carefully thought out, simple, clean but rich performance using really almost nothing, just a turntable, teach yourself foreign language LP’s, the impeccable timing of a percussionist, and an idea.
With the intense focus of a scientist fed up with pointless repetition, Pascal takes a scalpel to composition, improvisation and performance, and (with the most basic means) examines their sameness, and their miniscule but important differences. A riveting public dissection, his performances are, maybe you could say, allegories, in that an allegory (a symbolic representation of something else) builds away from itself, outwards, towards an idea. Totally non-literal, Pascal’s performances communicate the idea that improvisation and composition are harder to tell apart than you might think.
Pascal Le Gall, Curious French percussionist of jazz and musical thinker. Composer of electroacoustic musique for himself and the choregrapher Bernardo Montet, he performed alone or with the musician Marc Baron.
