Topographie is the collaboration act between Montrèal residing musicians
Nicolas Bernier and Delphine Measroch whose 2-track issue is a sublime instance
of borderline folk music due profound dodges into glitch-y electronic
explorations, and cello drones, providing chamber music inspired beauty and offering
many flirtatious moments with concrete sound washes and electro-acoustic effects.
Despite the duo`s musical complexity and segmentation in a formal sense the
whole is adeptly structured and organically spliced. Furthermore, natural
segmentation and ramification does not hinder them to wind up truly
picturesque, even sublime moments. On the other side, the Bernier-Measroch`s clockwork
can be seen by a more “ugly” aspect as a folk exemplar with some irksome “errors”
and “disruptions”. The issue will be ended up by a barrel organ based soothing
melody. All in all, the result is challenging and drenched with solace at the
same time.
