  Serge Blenner, a Frenchman who already lives and works in Hamburg (Germany) for years has an unique place in electronic music. Don’t come to him for sequencerpatterns, Mellotronsounds, space sounds, soundscapes or big solo’s. His records, especially those from recent times, are for the biggest part influenced by modern classical music and ethnic music. On "Musique de Chambre" (Chamber Music) he goes deepest exploring the classics. When I read the title, I had a slight thought that he might have recorded an album with a real chamber orchestra. Well, this not the case but he does uses a sound library of samples from the VSL Vienna Orchestra. I hear hardly any difference with real acoustic instruments. A compliment is on its place for the makers of the samples and for Blenner. The pieces on Musique de Chambre have a lot of strings, harp, wind instruments, pianosolos and female operatic voices. Next to this, we hear the usual French atmosphere, sometimes in the form of a accordion. Again this leads to a diversity of wonderful tracks like "Les Perles", "La Source" and "Des Visages" that sound almost like filmmusic and compositions like "Une Présence", "Logica" and "Novum" that are built up as pure classical pieces. You must like this music and open up for it. If this is the case, than this is a great listening experience. And that is not only for fans of electronic music but also for lovers of classical music. ... more
