about

With Alchemy Calls, La Mverte once again pushes the door of the club, closed for too long. Composed of 3 tracks and enriched with 2 remixes, the record proposes a progression in 3 phases, following the alchemical process at the base of the Great Work (GW) and the quest for the philosopher's stone. A true cathartic experience in the time of crisis, the production of the EP was also therapeutic, an unexpected way to find the club and night atmospheres that were so much missed. On Nigredo, La Mverte summons certain codes of Detroit electro and explores them through the prism of his influences and his machines. He invites Jean-Christophe Couderc from the band Vox Low on vocals, who tackles the Blackness, the first stage of the GW, but also the confrontation with one's own demons as theorized by Carl Jung. With Albedo, La Mverte progresses and approaches the stage of purification, in an intense and contrasted synth wave aesthetic. He seeks to absolve himself of all judgement, in search of spiritualisation and a rejuvenation of the mind and body. This is also the end of the second phase, but the GW will only be completed with Rubedo, the last original track on the EP. With this nod to Belgium and the New Beat movement he is particularly fond of, La Mverte concludes the experiment, returns to the dust and finally sees his spirit embodied.


The tracks of the EP are also offered 2 remixes. Javi Redondo, a regular on the Correspondant and Dischi Autunno labels, offers a fundamentally club and motoric re-reading of Nigredo, and Aggelos Baltas, alias Anatolian Weapons, delivers a version of Albedo tinged with slowed-down Trance.

about

La Mverte Paris, France

As Rorschach did pay even more attention to what was not drawn in the dark ink blots he presented his patients, La Mverte seeks to probe the soul with what it has to hide. Isn’t music the art of self interpretations and unsaid things ?
