Opaque oceans, skies disguised by clouds, continents that seek each other : it is on the surface of this anatomy of duration that Frédéric D. Oberland, since youth, groups and dreams, travels, fiercely self-taught, through multi-instrumentalist practices, towards the pulverulent litany of the world. "In the solar winds that will scatter the dust of your previous incarnations, you will recognize the clamour."

«Solstices» is the fourth solo opus of the artist, himself in circulation
between the bands he co-founded: Oiseaux-Tempête, FOUDRE ! Le Réveil Des Tropiques, FareWell Poetry.

Closer to the vulcanological approach than to the audiophile preciousness, Frédéric D. Oberland operates with these five athanors a sacrificial chemistry of fusion and salvation: the contribution of the players are melted into a single ritual, where the part only means the whole, synthetic analog sources are unrecognizable, and acoustic projections appear to have been stolen on the hallucinated eve of a disaster. All this singularity and all this transversality draw a silhouette of the world, a great snake whose language is the rhythm, a continuation of the event. "Solstices!"

Film by : Philomène De Broqua
Music by : Frédéric D. Oberland
(Speech by Stephen Hawking)

"16mm film directed by Philomène de Broqua for the piece PANSPERMIA / PNEUMA by Frédéric D. Oberland, extract from the album "Solstices" (ZamZamRec). "HOME HOMME" is engraved on a steel wreck, a print left among others. The film - scratched, acid, chemically attacked - is the organic and sensible support of a lonely wandering in a post-humanist world in order to capture the details of a future archeology. Incompleteness of the present, already stuck in the past as a remnant."
