"Aubusson is the fourth album by musician and composer Sylvain Milliot under the moniker Vehicule. The album's title refers to the French city of Aubusson, well known for its tapestries. Véhicule has composed each track as a musical tapestry, a sound capsule that can evoke imaginary pictures, like a journey through a dreamy landscape. In this way, the titles, with their poetic dimension, can resonate with the music, just as the title next to a painting we see in a museum can bring meaning (or disturbance) to the viewer.
The music, as in Véhicule's previous albums, is composed of various sources of improvisation on many devices (keyboards, flutes, samples) and rearranged in the editing process. Aubusson focuses on the relationship between acoustic and electronic sounds (such as pump organ and synthesizers) and nuances of the listening experience, with attention to the pleasure of music in its rhythmic, melodic and harmonic aspects. All the tracks have in common that they share a mood or a certain colour and carry emotions, like a vehicle, a poem or a sound metaphor."-Sublime Retreat
