about

"I miss my future."

----------------------------

Belgian producer Laurent Delforge's debut as Before Tigers took root during a recent residency for contemporary dance at the historic Festival Grec de Barcelona, as he traveled frequently back and forth from his home in Brussels to Spain. Something about the distance and transience of the experience seeded in him a notion of delicacy and damage, manifested via heavily processed electronics flickering with glitch, whispers, and dizzying rhythm, like some alien, ASMR-filtered downtempo hybrid. Passages of density and drama abruptly bottom out into cracked silences laced with breath and digital afterglow, haunted by alluring unknowns: Missing My Future.

Delforge's background as a graduate of the Royal Conservatory of Belgium, earning his masters in electro-acoustic music studying under Bernard Parmeggiani, is evident in the pointillist precision of his craft, incorporating a vast palette of frequencies and textures into vivid, adventurous sound designs. He characterizes the album as “a quest for humility and empathy,” at the nexus of futurist composition and aching human voice. The songs channel an elusive mood of afterlife software, ghosts in the machine, labyrinthine beat experiments for lives yet unlived, as intricate as they are intimate: “Vocals are an instrument that tells so much in its hesitations, in its failures – a direct and very personal access to one's soul.”

Thanks Joshua for resuming this project. I was lucky enough to see TTA live in Austin (2004), and this is more than a fitting tribute, this is an evolution! I've also lost a partner, and I applaud your effort to forge on! noddy26

It was live in Prague when I heard the track the first time. Joshua introduced it as the first track he was able to make under the Telefon Tel Aviv name after Charlie's passing. I remember how I was just next to the speaker and the sound was really loud and I think I just turned into particles and got reassambled during the time he played the track. I shed a few tears of love and knew I must have this one. I think one of the top 5 tracks I ever heard and moment I will be going back to in memory. Martin Weber
