Lightwave create rich electronic sound colors to paint their mystical imaginery. Delicate piano lines and pleasing harmonies give way to chilling pitch bending tone effects. Much of Tycho Brahé has a surprisingly organic feel, like a cross between Gyorgy Ligeti's famous orchestral work "Atmospheres" and Jerry Goldsmith's score to Alien.

"Jacques Deregnaucourt's violin articulate incisive lines against textures that shift and surge. This is an exploratory album, an apt endeavor since it's named for a 16 th-century Danish astronomer. You can almost see the sounds rotating in slow motion free all as this album pulses and eddies through its amorphous designs.

(Tycho Brahé). John Diliberto (USA).

"...electronic music wich is neither "planat" in the German manner, nor new age, wich combines the best of Bayle, Schwartz or Zanesi with te "ambient music" of Brian Eno or Harold Budd...".

(Tycho Brahé). Le Monde de la Musique (France)

 

...the French group succeeds with rare elegance in creating an alchemy between electro-acoustic and synthesizer work, while integrating into all this emotion and a natural capacity for wonder. Their sound palette is delicate, poetic and innovative. These musicians are simply opening new doors in the expression of sound. They have understood the contribution of "musique concrète" without ever falling into an intellectual trap, and their electronics venture into unsuspected, limtless spaces, attempting in a way to define their metaphysical proprieties in order to make them audible. This tre art atmospher is defifined by its sensitivity, its solemnity as well as its wholehearted playfulness.
