Three years after the release of 'samdhya', ab ovo band member régis
baillet presents the second album of his solo project diaphane which is
both a continuation and an advancement on his previous work. on
'lifeforms' diaphanes's unique combination of atmospheric melancholy and
haunting intensity is still present, but the focus on rhythmic power
has been significantly increased. deep, spherical soundscapes with a
cinematic feel are pushed forward on to of complex beat structures with
influences ranging from drum'n'bass and dubstep to idm. like an
experienced film director, régis is permanently building and collapsing
arcs of suspense. beautiful piano-based melodies supplemented with
electronic sequences which result in either highly energetic, pounding
rhythmic rage or relaxing sound layers - a perfect balance of movement
and downtime. a very passionate and emotional album which will trigger
the listener's emotions in many different ways.
