This period (1995-2002) was similarly formative for Constellation, and while at that time the label was preoccupied with the dirtier and messier sounds of local bands melding punk\/rock instrumentation with various post-rock currents, we were concurrently huge fans of the aforementioned artists, their rigorous, methodical, highly-controlled strategies and arid, restrained sonic terrains. Automatisme has bubbled up and hit all our residual minimal-electronic pleasure centres all these many years later.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eMomentform Accumulations\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e compiles much of Jourdain’s most recent and most rhythmically-driven work. We’re very excited to be issuing this as Automatisme’s first official full-length physical album release – and while Jourdain continues to pursue his studies in Art History, his practice as a painter and installation artist, and his work at Saint-Hyacinthe’s excellent Fréquences record store, we also anticipate diverse and fascinating future recordings from Automatisme that will stake out a multi-faceted identity for this viscerally engaged young producer. We also urge interested ears to check out Automatisme on Bandcamp for previous recordings that similarly reveal the project’s multiplicity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThanks for listening.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Constellation Records","offers":[{"title":"180gLP+MP3","offer_id":56361823830308,"sku":"znu1789925014400","price":16.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"180gLP+WAV","offer_id":56361823863076,"sku":"utr1789925014401","price":16.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD+MP3","offer_id":56361823895844,"sku":"tay1789925014401","price":8.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MP3","offer_id":56361823928612,"sku":"ixx1789925014402","price":5.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV","offer_id":56361823961380,"sku":"kqu1789925014403","price":5.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2772\/3044\/files\/cst118-automatisme-momentform-accumulations_1.jpg?v=1789925017","url":"https:\/\/burtprimehub.shop\/products\/cst118-automatisme-momentform-accumulations","provider":"burtprimehub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
