Pulsing, Percussive, Layered Minimalism By Akusmi, In-Studio
Akusmi is the name of the recent project by the French-born London-based producer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Pascal Bideau.\xa0His work blends the churning rhythms of minimalism with the sounds of jazz and, occasionally, the gamelan music of Indonesia. Mostly he plays sax and piano, but in a pinch he\u2019ll play bass guitar, flute, synthesizer or percussion too. Some\xa0Akusmi\xa0songs can be ethereal and atmospheric, but more often they\u2019re pulsating and almost danceable. In live performance, Akusmi becomes a band, in this case a trio with violinist/composer Christopher Tignor and trombonist Rick Parker. They play in-studio.
