Album lore

Baba Soirée, issued in late October 2023 by Pingipung, assembles the inventive minds of Pierre Bastien and Michel Banabila for a ten-track inquiry into musique concrète and electroacoustic forms. The record unfolds through a blend of experimental jazz, krautrock rhythms, and ambient drone textures. Bastien’s mechanical orchestration and Banabila’s digital manipulation coalesce in a delicate balance, yielding compositions that resist tidy categorization.Notably, the track "Slow Dance" exemplifies the album’s measured pacing and textural layering, drawing from ambient jazz sensibilities without relinquishing its avant-garde edge. The album’s modest but engaged listenership—approaching 2,500 on Last.fm—reflects its status as a quietly persistent signal within the broader experimental canon. Baba Soirée stands as a recent artifact for those tracing the intersections of acoustic experimentation and electronic abstraction.
