"logique du désordre" (2006), album recorded 01/02/03.11.2005 in AMR, release on the ALTRISUONI jazz label.

Prenant le parti d'une improvisation totalement libre, DIATRIBES confronte les multiples conceptions de la musique qui transpirent de chacun de ces membres, le free-jazz, la musique électroacoustique, le bruitisme... plus encore lorsque sont invités Christian Graf ou Nicolas Sordet, impitoyablement ingéré, digéré dans une linguistique qui se réinvente à tout moment.
Un désordre apparent ou une nonchalance mélancolique côtoie le marasme des villes et les paysages mentaux, ou la brutalité soudaine virevolte sur des tensions sous-jacentes, et ou la logique n'est relative qu'au bon vouloir de l'oreille des musiciens comme des auditeurs.
DIATRIBES livre là un album confortablement enregistré sous la froideur d'une voûte de brique, le temps est pris d'y chercher des interstices, de les défoncer, de les élaguer, voir de s'en moquer.

DIATRIBES, by taking the part of an entirely free improvisation, confront the multiple concepts of music that emerge from each member - freejazz, electro-acoustic music, noise... - and even more so with the invitees Christian Graf or Nicolas Sordet, who are shamelessly swallowed and digested in a dialogue that constantly reinvents itself.
An apparent disorder or melancholic "nonchalance" hoovers over the many towns and mental landscapes, where the sudden brutality revolts itself on the underlying tension, and where the logic is relative only to the goodwill of the ear of the musicians and the auditors.
DIATRIBES deliver an album comfortably recorded in the coldness of a brick-wall chamber, where time is taken to find interstices, to destroy them, to prune them, and finally to tease them.

«“Diatribes” is the name of a 1996 album by Napalm Death. With no apparent relation, “Diatribes” is also the name of a trio dedicated to improvised music. Originally from Geneva, this trio is Cyril Bondi (drums, percussion), Gaël Riondel (saxophones, clarinet, flute) and Laurent Peter – a.k.a. d’Incise – (laptop, objects, effects). Working exclusively with digital distribution, this swiss trio have released a total of six works to this moment, each through a different label: Edogm, Zymogen, Tulipesä, Insubordinations, Stomoxine and Digitalbiotope. “Parenthèse Polonaise”, their new work released by Test Tube, shows off a band exploring free improv soundworks.
On the trio’s website we find three words to classify their sound: free jazz/electro-acoustic/noise. None of them is wrong, but this may not be the absolutely right definition. More than free jazz or noise, this music is descendant of European driven free/improv, in the lines of Derek Bailey, Evan Parker, Han Bennink or Peter Brötzmann. Right on the first track, “Cieszyn 1.1”, there is a percussion sequence which evokes Tony Oxley experiences. d’Incise’s work, on laptop and effects, complements the percussion action, forming a cohesive sound block. Gaël Riondel’s blowing works as contraposition, in an insanely interaction. Sometimes the drums elaborate a certain rhythmic steadiness, but don’t extend it on too rigid formulas, the blowing is strong and inconstant, and the effects sharp ‘round the corners. The recording, with all the background room and audience noise, probably isn’t the most appropriate for audiophile fans, but encapsulates the session’s informality – and, consequently, the expressively freedom of this music. As the most evident example of this trio’s creativity, there is track #11, “Trzebinia 1.4”, where tribal sounds are mixed together with crescendos and noise. The following track, “Bielsko Biala 1.3”, on the other hand goes to more familiar territories; it is a piece closely related to the free jazz of the New York loft scene, circa 1969. Closing the album, an 8 and a half minutes track starts slowly to grow until it arrives to a diabolic free finale.
It’s safe to say that these “Diatribes” don’t come from death metal, but they’re not far from the devil.» - Nuno Catarino

review by Hollow Tree Experimental Music Report: [...]
Net labels, and the free mp3 recordings that they release on the internet, represent the future of music both in the music they feature and the marketing and distribution methods that they employ. Internet music is the most important thing going in the recorded arts right now. Unfortunately, the quality of these releases is widely variable. Anyone can record something and put it on the internet, but not everyone should.!
That's why it's comforting to hear a collection such as Diatribe's "Interconnections." At first, this recording might not seem worth the time, a free (in more than one sense) avant-jazz net release. But really, this is good. The musicians are good; the recording quality is good; the composition is good, too. Every minute is interesting, for one reason or another. Diatribes cruises through a series of weird rooms, flashing the lights and rearranging the furniture as they go.!
The musicians are obviously extremely competent with their weapons. It's not frequent enough that musicians who can actually play apply themselves to the more adventureable fjords of the musical coast.!
The personnel are: Laurent Peter aka "d'incise" on laptop, objects, treatements; Cyril Bondi plays drums, other percussions and the Tibetan horn; Gaël Riondel plays the reed instruments (tenor and alto saxophones, clarinet) and the flute.!
d'Incise seems to have set the computers aside for this collection, instead entering his audible contributions with "ojects" that seem to be an array of solid metal things that creak, zing and vibrate throughout the compositions.!
At about 4:30 in the second track ("interconnexions 2.1"), Mr d'incise does a nice job of making your speakers sound as if they are shorting out.!
Riondel's sax gets into some good old goose honking. Other moments of saxophone are warm like rising steam and still others evoke elephants and jazz funerals.!
This can't be called mood music, because whatever mood you're in or trying to be in, these guys are going to match it for about a minute and a half, tops.!
One of the first things to stand out on this record are the drums. Both the playing and the treament of the drums are very strong here. Cyril Bondi's handling of the percussion instruments reveals his Afro-Cuban and his jazz studies. Listening to some of the passages that focus on Bondi, I get a vaguely-formed vision of him halfway up from the stool, reaching for the far drums. The drums are recorded loud and clear, too. It's always nice to hear good drumming brought to the front of the mix, no matter what kind of music it is. Usually, high-quality percussion, plainly wrought is something you have to purposefully look for. Art Blakey and Ginger Baker don't even get respect from the control booth half the time.!
Be warned, though. This recording is not built for boogie (although they do get into some rousing grooves about ten or eleven minutes into the third track (2.1), among other places.) Diatribes addresses a wild variety of moods. They cop a smoothly transitioning series of attitudes, sometimes evoking atmospheres to the point that they may be clearly visualized by the listener. In one stretch of time, Diatribes suggest everything from tropical flora to the filthy far ends of abandoned lumber mills to the funeral rites of forgotten cultures.!
Perhaps this is a subtle effect we can look forward to from the home-studio movement. Percussion has been the core of music since back in the days of bones and stones. But modern recordings have more often than not have treated the instrument-that-is-not-an-instrument as some sort of sidebar or something. This is, no doubt, a result of the 64-track process. When you've got 64 tracks, you're naturally going to multimic the drum kit, and that's naturally going to you less time to set up each of those mics causing you to rush the setup and level check. But all of those isolated microphones inevitably get bounced to one track, usually unedited. Now you're back to a single drum track, but it sounds awful and so you mix it down deep where no one can hear it.!
Meanwhile, a scrappy troupe of independent producers run a single mic from the drums to the Powerbook. It sounds crystal clear and good as hell.! The beginning minute or of the fourth track, "interconnexion2.3" is good treatment of Bondi's drumming. It's a moment of particular intensity.! This is the kind of recording that you can listen to an indefinite number of times and there is always more listening to do. Like a high-quality auteur flick or abstract painting, this four-track album doesn't overexplain itself. !

review by nameless: "Insubordinations, c’est le nom du label. Genre : je t’emmerde, je sors la musique que je veux, ne me donnez pas d’ordres, j’ai un beau nom, ce n’est pas pour qu’on chie dessus avec des remarques à la « pff, il commence quand ce morceau ? Qu’est-ce qu’on s’emmerde ! »
Bien que je n’aime pas tout ce qui sort sur ce netlabel, il faut reconnaître qu’il y a encore des gens qui osent essayer … Des gens qui partent à l’abordage, le couteau entre les dents et le cerveau en ébullition.
Ici, c’est précisément le cas. On est en territoire libre, improvisé, malléable à souhait. Imaginez-vous au milieu d’un désert qui, progressivement, voit paraître un théâtre de marionnettes désarticulées … La couleur du ciel change à chaque envolée de saxophone, les pantins dansent lentement sur les flottements électroniques.
De loin, ça ne parait avoir aucun sens, on imagine le tout hermétique, limite prétentieux mais c’est tout le contraire … A partir du moment ou l’attention n’a pas besoin d’être maximale, qu’on peut juste se laisser bercer, entraîner doucement dans son propre rêve, c’est gagné … Chacun y verra les images qu’il veut, chacun s’y perdra comme il l’entend, selon son rythme, selon son expérience … Ici, rien n’est vraiment dirigé ou imposé, le spectateur n’est pas écrasé par la musique, il en fait partie …
Finalement, la rencontre entre Diatribes et Christian Graf (guitare) interpelle. Arriver à marier les influences du free-jazz et de la musique électronique, ou arriver à marier une guitare avec un sax, une flûte ou des bruitages, ce n’est pas forcément facile. Pourtant, ça sonne très cohérent et c’est tant mieux pour nos oreilles !

review by rubored: "let's talk about jazz, baby. since it lost it's revolutionary power around the early 70s, many different and related genres took up the impetus of improvisation and harmonic approximation. think of experimental ambient, krautrock, hiphop, in a spiritual way even punkrock. the strongest reincarnation of jazz (apart from cheesy hybrid-forms like jazzrock or acidjazz) maybe contemporary electronica. time for an identity parade.
the new italian netlabel zymogen brings together saxophonist gael riondel, drummer cyril bondi and electronic producer d'incise to jam along five superb freejazz-takes. the release features a destillate of two improviation-sessions and a remix by d'incise a.k.a. laurent peter (you might know him for his former collaboration with riondel and bondi on the eDogm-sampler released this spring).
i was expecting to hear some european-style freejazz power-jam, enriched with some breakbeats or techno-rhythms. far from it! thoughout the first five takes, digital and analog are very difficult to keep apart. peter is working with a lot of live-sampling, and many noises and random sounds are dubbed though his computer the way you can't tell where they emerge from. the digital manipulations fit very organic into riondel's melodic phrasing, and bondi at the battery (very natural sound) chooses to suggest rhythms, falls into powerful soli or uses his instrument as a source of sounds.
but most noticeable is the amount of melody, riondel injects the improvisations. there's much more *ornette coleman* and *albert ayler* in dissection#5 than *peter brötzmann* and *borah bergman*. in concert with the 'cold' electronics peter splashes out, this release will broaden your horizon - if you're ready for it."
