Dive into the avant-garde and experimental soundscapes of Fabien Lévy with his compelling album "De l'art d'induire en erreur." This collection, set to release on March 31, 2025, under the KAIROS label, is a testament to Lévy's innovative compositional prowess, spanning a rich duration of 1 hour and 17 minutes.
The album features a diverse array of instrumental and vocal pieces, each bringing a unique texture and depth to the listening experience. From the hauntingly beautiful "Durch, in memoriam G. Grisey" performed by a saxophone quartet to the intricate interplay of flute, clarinet, violin, cello, and piano in the four-movement "À propos," Lévy's compositions are both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant. The album also showcases the collaborative artistry of the accordion and cello in "Danse polyptote" and the powerful ensemble of three amplified voices and an orchestra in "De l'art d'induire en erreur."
Each track is a live performance, capturing the raw energy and spontaneity of the musicians. The album's title, "De l'art d'induire en erreur," translates to "The Art of Misleading," hinting at the playful and sometimes deceptive nature of Lévy's compositions. This album is not just a collection of pieces but a journey through the mind of a visionary composer, offering a glimpse into the boundless possibilities of contemporary classical music.
