    “Serge Blenner [...] has a unique place in the world of electronic music. His music is totally incomparable with what others do and that makes it so interesting. After he started experimenting with high-grade equipment like the PPG Wave Computer in the early eighties, his music has slowly grown into a specific sort of classical music. “Miroir de Soi” (“Mirror Of Self”) is perhaps his most classic album to date, perhaps also his most romantic. Beautiful orchestral parts, pianopieces, acoustic guitars and a lot of atmosphere have an important place on “Miroir De Soi”. It surprises me that Blenner (as far as I know) isn’t a well-known composer of filmmusic by now because his music is excellent suitable for this. Very beautiful are tracks like “Le Miroir” (nice melody), “Exlibris” (very romantic), “Projection” (a great recording) “Illumination” (darker), “Estival” (great samples of stringinstruments), “Les Méandres” (could have been music of a French film from the seventies) and “Les Anges” (samples of churchbells and fine choirs). This is very special”.

about

12 tracks

“The most recent album from Serge Blenner features 12 tracks of electroacoustic music. Digital creations that sound like symphonic movie scores or soundtracks to romantic picnics in a park. While all instruments are performed by synths, samplers or computer software the overall sound of the album is acoustic guitars, strings and piano. This makes it less “electronic” in the traditional sense, and the structures of the songs are symphonic soundscapes [...]. My first meeting with Blenner's music was “Equateur” over a decade ago, which in my memory rests as a more electronic album than “Miroir de Soi”. It's interesting to see how the artist has gone back to a more traditional sound as and when music technology becomes more complex [...]”.
