Whether duetting with the sound of his footsteps, collaborating with cement mixers or experimenting with whatever instrument he can get his hands on, play is at the heart of everything he does. This new album gathers ideas, memories and unfinished projects accumulated across his whole lifetime. Its tongue-in-cheek subtitle, ‘Maybe Of Interest’, offers a typically Peronian joke: \"Moi\" can suggest a certain self-confidence or egocentrism, yet the subtitle gently undercuts it, revealing the vulnerability, humour and self-awareness that run throughout the record. In fact, \"Moi\" is anything but solitary. Credited to Faust, with the \"US\" deliberately capitalised, the record reflects Péron's belief in collaboration, friendship and collective creativity, bringing together a wide network of musicians, engineers, writers and performers from across the extended Faust family. In fact, more than twenty people contributed to the recording sessions, making Moi as much a collective endeavour as a personal statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded over two winter weeks at Schiphorst studio in northern Germany and deftly combining the contradictory forces of meticulous planning, free improvisation and chance discovery, \"Moi\" draws equally from childhood memories, Fluxus principles, dadaist humour and deeply personal experiences. The resulting album moves effortlessly between musique concrète, avant-pop, jazz, spoken word and experimental electronics, united by Péron's curiosity and irrepressible sense of play.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the opening collage of \u003cem\u003eCharles et Léon\u003c\/em\u003e, assembled from electronics, tape manipulations, found sounds and francophone samples, \"Moi\" inhabits a world where memory, accident and invention continually overlap. \u003cem\u003eDiabolus in Musica\u003c\/em\u003e transforms a chance encounter with the infamous tritone into an unlikely avant-pop miniature, while \u003cem\u003eSplash!\u003c\/em\u003e revels in multilingual voices, backmasked fragments and restless rhythmic movement. Elsewhere, Fluxus-inspired pieces such as \u003cem\u003eMetro Nomen\u003c\/em\u003e and the spoken-word meditation \u003cem\u003eMake Me Up\u003c\/em\u003e explore identity, language and the creative possibilities of disruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBalancing the album's experimental impulses are some of Péron's most emotionally direct compositions. \u003cem\u003eDu Fehlst Mir\u003c\/em\u003e, written following the loss of a beloved companion, unfolds as a moving late-night jazz ballad, while \u003cem\u003eTelele\u003c\/em\u003e draws on childhood influences to create an atmosphere that is by turns choral, dreamlike and unsettling. The spacious jazz textures of \u003cem\u003eQuinten and Quarten\u003c\/em\u003e, the shifting beauty and abrasion of \u003cem\u003eL'Orchestre des Anges\u003c\/em\u003e, and the socially conscious reflections of \"Writings On The Wall\" further demonstrate the remarkable breadth of Péron's musical vocabulary. The album closes with \u003cem\u003eDoux Ami\u003c\/em\u003e, which moves from sombre introspection towards a joyful communal celebration, encapsulating the spirit that runs through \"Moi\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout the record, Jean-Hervé Péron presents Faust as a living network of friendships, ideas and creative exchanges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. \u003cem\u003eCharles \u0026amp; Leon\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2. \u003cem\u003eDiabolus in Musica\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3. \u003cem\u003eSplash!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4. \u003cem\u003eDu fehlst mir\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5. \u003cem\u003eL'Orchestre des Anges\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6. \u003cem\u003eMake Me Up\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7. \u003cem\u003eQuinten \u0026amp; Quarten\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8. \u003cem\u003eMetro Nomen\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e9. \u003cem\u003eDann stimmt irgendetwas nicht mehr\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e10. \u003cem\u003eTelele\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e11. \u003cem\u003eWritings On The Wall\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e12. \u003cem\u003eDoux Ami\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout this product:\u003c\/strong\u003e this release is pressed on clear vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve.
