Mathieu's long-running RADIANCE series reaches a particular stillness here, built almost entirely from early recordings played back through resonant acoustic spaces and spectral processing that blurs the line between the original sound source and the room itself. The textures feel archival and fragile, as if the music is being excavated rather than composed. Decay is the real subject — every tone is already in the process of disappearing. Listen for how much of a tone seems to belong to the recording, and how much to the room.
