"Bernanrd Falaise is the guitarist from Klaxon Gueule, Les Projectionnistes as well as countless Montréal-based actuelle scene projects, this is Falaise's debut solo album. A study in ubiquity: 15 pieces for guitar ensembles, one guitarist! Plenty of overdubbings and digital processing for added measure. Surprisingly varied and intense."-Ambiances Magnetiques
