Probables

On his first solo LP, Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy (the spectacular drummer of Pneu, Binidu, la Colonie de vacances among many other projects) explores a feild between contemporary music, minimalism and sound art
The first sidelong piece “1000 Fois Bonjour Depuis Le Vignemale” has been written to be played and recorded by a 17 musician orchestra. The three other pieces, also instrumentals, have been recorded solo by JB in a few days using an extremely versatile instrumentarium: motorized percussions, struck objects, oyster shells, field recordings, synthesizers, among others
Tachycardie gives the artist the scope to explore the acoustics of the world and its objects, to realize the infinitude of their possibilities, to sift through such possibilities and to offer up the gems that he finds glinting in the mesh.In 2019, Geoffroy released Tachycardie’s debut album, Probables (Un je-ne -sais-quoi 2019). A record of unprecedented richness, sumptuously produced by Brice Kartmann, it also served to launch Tachycardie on stage, both solo and as a group. For the Tachycardie Ensemble, Geoffroy is accompanied by six musicians, and for each phase of his tour, he invites between five and ten others to join him live. Tachycardie can also take the form of autonomous plastic and sound installations
