Basile Lacroix-Boettcher New Track Released – Organic Time
Basile Lacroix-Boettcher is a French composer. Born in Besançon in 1999. Originally a drummer, he quickly turned to M.A.O. With his universe of chimerical and complex sounds, he experiments with organic mixtures, fusing Moog synthesizers with acoustic instruments, such as the violin, cello, double bass.
Basile was at the origin of several projects, notably as the producer of the former group Wormhole with the release of the album “Cosmoi” in 2019. He is also part of the experimental duo Trash Cells. He released an EP, titled “Contaminated” in 2020.
His interest in soundtrack manifested itself in 2021, when he composed the Soundtrack for the play “La Valse des mouches”. “Heterogeneous Ex Nihilo DNA” is his first solo project in which he gives us his multiple influences.
Known locally as a member of trip-hop project Wormhole which won the UK springboard. Belfort, the Iceberg springboard in Geneva but also the experimental alternative rap project Trash Cells who opened for Lorenzo just before the start of the pandemic, the composer/ Besançon producer Basile Lacroix-Boettcher announces the release of his cyber exhibition on 4 next February.
Animated by exhibiting Basil‘s canvases and set to music by him with “Organic Time” track featured in Basile‘s album cyber exposure is a good way to discover a little more the universe of the musician from Besançon but also to promote a second time his first album Heterogeneous Ex Nihilo DNA released last September.
Basile subtly integrates older sounds – ‘organic‘ – into his modern and experimental production. Basile thus offers a rich album opening with a title à la Aphex Twin (Organic Time) followed by three sounds similar to a chase in the jungle (Anti-Jungle, Phenomenon Army, Madness of Entropy), two jazz tracks (Human Reality, Blind Genius), an epic penultimate track (New Cycle) and finally, an epilogue title in collaboration with the harp teacher from the conservatory of Besançon Christine Bulle.
Multi-talented, Basile is also behind the cover of Heterogeneous Ex Nihilo DNA. Painter in these lost hours, the works of Basile will very soon be the subject of a cyber exhibition.
Basile Lacroix-Boettcher works best on Experimental jazz, Film music, Jazz fusion, Modern jazz, Neoclassical Drama, Intense, Melodic, Dreamy, Original, Psych, Surprising, and Strong universe.
