Denis Dufour: Complete Acousmatic Works, Vol. 1

With the release of this box, KAIROS undertakes the first step of the monumental task to document Denis Dufour’s complete acousmatic works. When you think of the extraordinary eclecticism, the sheer profusion and diversity of Denis Dufour’s sonic offerings that make up this first 16-disc box set, you’ll either feel that you’ve heard all there is to say about this composer, or that there still remains a whole lot more. Our need for music is insatiable, but Dufour’s musical-sonic oeuvre, his poly-polar acousmatic art, soars a thousand miles above the rest. May this first box set of a larger anthology demonstrate how he will have become one of the few to break the space-time barrier through his unique ability to incapsulate others and unite the dissociated outer worlds of sound, thus incarnating the voluptuous chaos of the music of his time.
