Amazing musique concrete work composed as a soundtrack for artist Jean Dubuffet's "articulated painting" performance piece, released on Mimaroglu's own label. The gorgeous art cover is, of course, by Dubuffet. Mimaroglu's swirling experimental soundscapes incorporate electronic and acoustic sound sources, and were realized at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center. The last track, Bal Des Leurres, is a text-sound composition featuring tape-manipulated recordings of Dubuffet reading his own poem of the same name.
