Tachycardie is the solo project by French drummer Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy and his latest release, Musique pour structures sorores Baschet was composed on Baschet Sound Structures. Created by the Baschet brothers in the 1950s, the sound structures were usually metal sheets folded into various shapes created largely for educational purposes, and were showcased around the world in various museums and workshops, and also appeared on several movie soundtracks. Originally, I thought the structures would sound only percussive, but Geoffroy coaxes a lot of intriguing and detailed sounds out of them. Mostly, the music is ambient and minimalist—as well as experimental—but it's still very approachable, which is what the Baschet brothers encouraged with their creations. The brothers passed away around a decade ago, but this great release is a fitting tribute to them and strongly recommended.
