This second catalogue monograph confirms the æon label’s attachment to one of spectral music’s principal representatives in France and abroad.Blending Nature as a source of inspiration with the tools of computer analysis as compositional means, Tristan Murail lies within the great French tradition of naturalist music dating to the 18th c.The works for large orchestra brought together in this recording, never before recorded, present an extensive panorama of the composer's output between 1985 and 2007, haunted as they are by his futuristic visions and dreamlike ‘elsewheres’.
