Fractales by Ensemble Fractales

For this portrait album, which inaugurates their collaboration with Cypres, the Fractales ensemble has chosen to bring together four key pieces from their repertoire, four quintets in which the alchemy between the ensemble's sound and the work of the composers is revealed, the fruit of numerous exchanges between musicians and creators. Saturated textures, erased melodies, extra-western inspirations and games of temporality are among other things on the programme of this adventure. Fractales symbolically evokes the vision that the ensemble has of today's musical composition: a scene that is infinitely fragmented, irregular and plural, but in which each creation illustrates a common and shared search for the individualisation of musical languages. Their artistic work aims to highlight this diversity, while bringing together these writings in a spirit of sound exploration.

Cypres Records is an independent music label based in Brussels. Founded in 1994, it initially specialised in the publishing of contemporary music. Since 2005, its activities have been diversified, opening up to early music as well as to the classical, romantic and modern periods.
