DIGITAL TRACK - LE 12th Edition
Released on 12 February 2020 - LONGFORM EDITIONS
Pablo's Eye have been approached by Longform Editions Australia to release a track on their deep listening music digital platform.
'Tentative d'épuisement d'un lieu parisien' is based on Richard Skinner’s essay, “Georges Perec’s Tentative d'épuisement d'un lieu parisien" (An attempt at exhausting a place in Paris), collected in Joiners: Essays, Reviews & Interviews (VanguardEditions 2019).
In October 1974, the French writer Georges Perec spent three days at Le Café de la Mairie in Place Saint-Sulpice, Paris, recording everything that passed through his field of vision. A wonderful exercise in observation and description.
Deep listening is intense listening, immersive and environmental. A deeper awareness of the things around you. The city with its social life can be perfect for a deep listening experience. Pablo's Eye have tried to relive sonically with Georges Perec in mind their drifting away in Place Saint-Sulpice in Paris, a special place in their heart.
You can listen to the track here.

Describing themselves as not a band but a 'temporary atmosphere', Belgian collective Pablo's Eye have shapeshifted their sound for three decades through ambient, techno, dub and tribal flourish without ever being definitively anything except mesmerising.
Their fluid nature proves perfect on their piece for Longform Editions: Tentative d'épuisement d'un lieu parisien similarly weaves through the symbols and slogans of daily life to craft a listening experience circling urban observation. Pablo's Eye have configured the trance of our day in sound, inspired by French writer Georges Perec and his work to create an inventory of the 'infraordinary'.
