about

Rémy Charrier is a French audiovisual artist based in México City. With a classic formation made sporadic due to frequent changes of residence, his approach to music was for a while basically made of improvisation exercises with a piano. After a couple of previous releases in the shape of a duo-project in France, Cowries is his first solo work. Once settled in Mexico, Rémy continues his practice with a Moog Little Phatty and a collection of objects used for rhythms and percussion, plus samplers and virtual / analog tools. Although he builds his music based on a random principle close to the practices of experimental improvisation, his goal —often achieved— is always the composition of songs based on the strengths of melody, plus repetition and a constant sense of reconstruction throughout the duration of the piece. Yet, in the end, one can say that Remy’s work is just an unconventional way to approach pop music. Additionally, you will find some hip-hop bass, sharp breakbeats, some soundscapes with a clear influence of Techno Animal, and even a section mixing a kind of ambient techno with heavy industrial elements.

Deep, ever-shifting, mesmerising electronic dub. This is the music I wanted to hear when I first explored Monolake 15 years ago. I'll be playing this for a long time to come. Tolujin

This has to be one of the more approachable albums in Umor Rex' catalog. Calm, abstract, clean atmosphere and a mild dose of experimentation make this a very enjoyable affair. Michael Feihstel
