about

"The finest moment comes in the shape of the sublime near-17-minute “Nebulous Cloud”, which sprawls out through treated violin lines, spectral ambient drones, doomy inscrutable reverberations and near-buried percussion undercurrents... A rare and remarkable find." - Concrete Islands

Rêves Perdus is the first release from experimental violinist Agathe Max on Modern Aviation. The London and Lyon-based performer has released numerous previous albums including This Silver String and Dangerous Days. She also is also a part of the duo KURO with Gareth Turner.

Inspired by both the Werner Herzog documentary, Cave of Forgotten Dreams, and her own time working near the Chauvet Cave in southern France, Rêves Perdus is a subterranean journey into deep history and the inner worlds of the mind.

The real Chauvet Cave is inaccessible to the public, due to its vast treasury of cave paintings - the oldest known to exist in the world - but there is a nearby exhibit that replicates the inside of the cave, which Agathe herself worked on.

"I spent two years making cave bear skeletons for the replica. The recordings for this album were made using concretions inside the cave as percussive instruments. The album was then built around the idea of dreamlike landscape and different notion of time, like a journey in space and time through the medium of dreams."

The result is a dark, strange and evocative album that moves between moments of ambient beauty, hushed vocals and vivid drama conjured by her violin. The fourth release on Modern Aviation, Rêves Perdus will be released on February 22nd on digital and limited edition numbered tape.
