Mathieu Harlaut has always had the audacity to push his curiosity to its logical conclusion, conjuring up unique sonic spectres. Verging on strange, these apparitions aggregate a myriad of influences and approaches combining DIY, scholarly appropriation and pop arrangements. Chamberlain, his alias, embodies the project, where classical, jazz, electro and soundtracks merge to form innovative musical compositions. Here's the picture: Ravel, Satie, Debussy, Fauré, Steve Reich, Max Richter, Aphex Twin, Maurizio, Moodymann, Brad Mehldau. Get it ? Perhaps we could add the film composer greats such as Ennio Morricone or François de Roubaix? And why not a new Arthur Russell ? Enough with the references. It's not so much where Chamberlain comes from that matters, but where he takes us.
