"Lionel Marchetti belongs to the group of younger French composers, who crosses over from composition to improvisation and back. Over the years he has released a couple of his musique concrete pieces, which were all captivating. 'L'incandescence De L'Etoile' is no different. It's 'based on the everlasting universal (re)cycle. It's hard to tell what kind of sounds Marchetti has put into this, but it's a very vibrant piece of heavily processed sounds. They are wrapped, unpacked, thrown about in the air, and they fall back on their place at which point they are immediately lifted up again and swung about in an entirely different mode. Unlike his other pieces, which seem to be dealing with a subject (like Japanese swordplay in 'Dans La Montagne (Ki Ken Tai)'), this work is more abstract and tells less of a story. But that aside, because it's not necessary, this is another small work to cherish, as it's great again.*
