Bonnet and Stephen O’Malley, initiated in 2018 and continued without interruption since then, taking form in myriad contexts, ranging from common practice to recording sessions, concerts and tours. ‘Cylene II’ bears witness to these different contexts, offering a multifaceted sound signature developed on different occasions (artist residencies in La Becque, Switzerland and Modena, Italy, live performance excerpts, a studio session at INA GRM Studios in Paris). The epic opening track, ‘Four Rays (Anti Divide)’, welcomes, for the first time, other musicians – in this case a wind quintet – expanding the duo’s sonic palette without betraying the fundamental component of their music, namely the driving of sonic energy. Elsewhere, Bonnet and O’Malley propel the energy between themselves, extending the singular climate that has characterized their musical development over the past five years. Among their minimal presentation of tones and resonances, as glacial harmonic intersections slowly elevate with massive physicality to an orchestral degree, new refinements become evident: the music’s relationship to silence, and a brightening of the fine metallic edge glowing at its core. For the listener, ‘Cylene II’ is a sound that reaches from the deep and scales up to the far firmament in its careful motion, drawing emotions viscerally from the chest, giving rise to the suggestibility of the soul. A séance of sorts for all who witness it, whether playing or listening. Artist François J.
