Film(is)music

“Film(is)music is a musical object as complex as it is intriguing. Composed according to the artist’s performances, the album lets us detect, throughout its eight tracks, the taste of its author for electronica or post-rock atmospheres […]. The construction of these ambiances from second-hand sources is one of the album’s tricks: the whole album is indeed composed of samples meticulously drawn from the soundtracks of three 1960s films […]. Borrowing his techniques from musique concrète, Seychal-Mills twists his samples to deploy them to his own ends, in an album with multiple reading levels. Without reducing itself to its concept, Film(is)music leaves the listener to revel in its carefully crafted pieces.” (www.seeksicksound.com)

Dandelions

“Without attaching himself to a precise musical trend, constantly straddling the line between post-rock (made in Chicago) and electronica (Plaid style), Seychal-Mills seems to navigate as a free electron, delivering a music that owes nothing to others and that imposes itself by a very singular way of doing things, to give birth to something very accessible, very palpable and really exciting.” (www.benzinemag.net)

“Just imagine a vast field of gigogenic experiments, merging and metamorphosing into surprising hybrids which, like the dandelion, a composite and rebellious flower, are capable of swarming with the wind. Free and plural, that’s all.” (www.dmute.net)

Seychal-Mills EP

“An irreducible perfume of naivety persists beneath a precious mastery in the form of an infinitesimal trace.” (Magic, #79, April 2004)
