THE ART OF NOISE
The Art of Noise was a groundbreaking British electronic music group that emerged in the early 1980s. They were at the forefront of experimenting with digital technology and sampling, creating a unique and influential sound.
The Seduction of Claude Debussy: A Bold Experiment
The Seduction of Claude Debussy is the fifth and final studio album by The Art of Noise, released in 1999. It represents a radical departure from their previous work, marking a bold and experimental chapter in their career.
A Unique Concept
Rather than creating original music, the album is a reimagining of the works of French impressionist composer Claude Debussy. The Art of Noise blended Debussy’s classical compositions with modern electronic sounds, drum and bass, hip-hop, and even opera. The result is a fascinating and often jarring juxtaposition of old and new. We feature as reference materials the album: Debussy: Harmonie du sour. Melodies & Songs. The artists include Stephane Degout, Alain Planés, Eugene Asti, Sophie Karthäusen.
After a rehearsal of his orchestral suite “Images,” Claude Debussy said, with satisfaction, “This has the air of not having been written down.” In a conversation with one of his former teachers, he declared, “There is no theory. You merely have to listen. Pleasure is the law.”
