Comment: J.-P. Caron`s recent composition may chime like a graveyard or junk yard antidote to La Monte Young`s music. Just kidding. However, there are represented a couple of tracks first of them extend a little longer than one hour and another is approximately about 14 minutes. Despite their imbalance in format the nature is similar – taut, bleak drones run ceaselessly over endless landscapes full of ghostly shades and penumbras. Inspite of the minimal or even microtonal concept the emotion flourishes throughout and will be full-fledged at the end. Of course, such kind of minimally produced music is tractable by illusions thereby the listener cannot be very sure where is laid down the border between reality and fiction. The blurred vision is actually its strength and source of vitality.
