CD | Caressing the Clouds – Isa*Belle + Paradise Now (Fr/Be) | Transonic Label (Eu)

Since 2004, Isa*Belle (holistic masseuse, artist of the senses) has been working with sound creator Paradise Now (Philippe Franck’s solo and collaborative artistic project) to create sound installations and performances (presented in various art centers, galleries, festivals and international events) from an impermanent interlacing of singing bowls (Tibetan, Vietnamese, Indian, crystal…), gongs, bells and other vibrating objects/instruments.

In these improvisations which place the art of listening at the center of a sensitive exchange, they can also dialogue with live electronic, guitars or vocal treatments.

The selection of pieces – most of them previously unpublished – which constitute this predominantly meditative and organic album dates back to 2004 (first collaboration on the occasion of Isa*Belle’Sound Massages which have travelled all around the world since) to more recent creations for which the duo invited accomplices (from both the electronic and experimental/improvisation music European scenes) with whom they carried out various parallel projects.

Here the whole body becomes both receiver and producer of benevolent vibrations, transmitter of transonic flows and waves of light.
