11 track album, released September 30, 2023 "Vertical Moon Phase Charm", Christophe Bailleau's debut on Mahorka, is the second album out of his meta-vision of electronic and electro-acoustic music trilogy on the theme of creativity in the face of autistic disorders, following the excellent inauguration "CHUVA ORBITAL : Armadillo Time" on Lotophagus Records. Here the artist again asserts his unique craftsmanship in balancing and naturally blending low-fi and high-tech sounds, acoustic sources and digital synthesis in another powerful, immersive work. "Vertical Moon Phase Charm" notably includes quite the strong and special list of collaborators: A Limb, Stanley Christiaensen, Konejo, Innocent But Guilty and Paradise Now. "A monument of fluctuating abstraction, Vertical Moon Phase Charm has no known safety measures or possible precautionary principles. A multi-dimensional mutant emulsion, we navigate in turbulent waters, no need to look for a secure anchor. Conceptual chimera, beautifully produced, each track ... proceeds through systemic enchantment, it quickly becomes unnecessary to resist - a variant geometry." -- from Thierry Massard's review on nocoVision Christophe Bailleau: composition, programming, production, synthesizers, guitar, piano A Limb: synthesizers, noises on tracks 1 and 8.
