Geins't Nait & Laurent Petitgand & Scanner
Et Il Y Avait
As with the 'OLA' album, the GN+LP duo is joined by an artist who is far from unknown to ambient and IDM fans: Scanner. The Londoner is a virtuoso of sound collage, one of the most active on the underground electronic scene since the 90s. He has released over twenty albums on labels as prestigious as Sub Rosa and New electronica. A committed collaborator, he has worked with a host of artists over the course of his career, including Gareth Davis and Alva Noto. Siril Tiebo, cellist, contemporary artist and performer, who appears on several tracks on "Idiot LP1" and "Idiot Scan", is also on board for this new album. This new album, "Et il y'avait", has a different feel to its predecessor, "OLA". Quieter and more atmospheric, "Et il y'avait" leans more towards dark-ambient this time round, but still features plenty of industrial sounds. "Et il y'avait' by Geins't Naït, Laurent Petitgand & scanner is highly recommended for fans of Coil, Caroline K or Nurse with Wound.
