This disc is the first of the Hushush Threesome three CD series that will see Mark Spybey, Mick Harris (Scorn, Lull, Painkiller etc.) and Ambre collaborate successively together. The album has been recorded during an epic two weeks session at lAuberge de la Mouette Rieuse on the North Sea shore in De Haan (Belgium) in September 1999 by Ambre with tapes provided by the English artist Mark Spybey. well known as ex-member of Zoviet*France, Download (along with cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy) and SPASM.
While Ambres other side projects such as Torsion and Axiome are more focused on distorted industrial chaos, this collaboration with Mark Spybey is exploring the universes of electro-acoustic, ambient music and minimal electronic. Its giving the listener the opportunity to discover a very singular world made out of random jazzy samples and very touching harmonies. The result is very well organized but as none of the members of this collaboration are well behaved, this disc is giving you the chance the get many surprises even if you are already familiar with the former productions on the two entities. We hope at Hushush that many of the new ways explored here are going to give birth to new projects.
