Composer, electronic music innovator and Pere Ubu's synthesist Allen Ravenstine returns to Waveshaper Media with the diptych LP (comprised of 1 EP per side) Nautilus / Rue de Poisson Noir. Using a singular blend of acoustic and electronic instrumentation, each track on Nautilus, weaves it's own wayward travelogue amidst stray bits of audio verité and wafting musical fragrances-by turns tropical and foreboding. Rue de Poisson Noir takes cues from it's fragmentary companion both in palette and approach, slithering between cinematic intrigue, off-brand jazz, avant-garde mischief, and fried electro without ever batting an eye. Together they form a beguiling collection of hyperrealist miniatures that remains strange, restless, inquisitive and-most of all-evocative throughout. Fog (Devil's Island Mix), A Day at the Beach, Meadowlark, Heteromorph, Nautilus, Java Head, Prelude, Tuxedo Moonlight, Moonlight Marimba, Red Skies at Night, Rue Du Poisson Noir, Dof Downie Woot, Open Season, The Rain on Mars, Music Box, Brothers Grimm, Rear Window, Time ; Tide, Rue Du Poisson Noir, Interlude, Wireless, Bossa No
