Description:
Sébastien Devaud, aka Agoria, entered the world of electronic dance music at a peculiar moment in time. Unlike the first generation of techno producers, he's too young to have been actively listening to early 80's electronic pop by groups such as Depeche Mode or New Order. But unlike younger DJs and musicians, he's been exposed to house and techno more or less since the start of these genres.

Living in rural France, Agoria first got hooked to electronic music through listening to Kevin Saunderson's classic "Good Life" on the local radio as a twelve-year-old kid in 1988. He was so impressed by the Inner City hit that he spent the following afternoons washing his neighbours' cars to earn enough money to buy his first 12´. His next revelation came a few years later when one of the first DJ sets he experienced happened to be from Jeff Mills in nearby Lyon. « It was the first time that I saw a DJ using three turntables and a drum machine. He really created something completely new rather than just playing records. And the way he moved, his precision and speed, impressed me. »

Like most releases on InFiné, Impermanence is the product of extensive collaboration and doesn't share the solipsistic tendencies of so many electronic musicians. As its title implies the music exists in a constant state of flux and flows easily from contemplative sound pieces to intimate acoustic songs and forward moving club tracks.

The album opens with the repetition of three notes played on a piano, with only the addition of violin, bell and the voice of the album's biggest discovery, 20 year old female singer, Kid A, from Virginia, USA. The beatless "Kiss My Soul" establishes the intimate tone of the album, which continues with the dubby house of "Souless Dreamer", on which Berlin-based DJ Seth Troxler guests with his trademark whisper, inviting the listener to « allow yourself to drift.»
