Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Dur Noyau Dur (roughly "Tough Pit") is the meeting of Rene Lussier on guitars (with and without electricity) and Martin Tetreault on turntables (with and without vinyl). This duet is both devastating and lyrical: they strum, peck, scour, polish, stir, reflect... in short, they work with sound.

It is with a firm uncompromising stance that they produce this stunning piece of highly experimental improvisation that sits outside all norms; a record that is solid as rock. Can you crack the pit?"-Ambiances Magnetiques
