about

London-based, French guitarist and sound experimenter Elyas Pollet presents this sublime collection of industrial-ambient dronescapes
hewn from laptop-skewed guitar textures and lofi sample collages recorded and assembled during the last year of his studies at the ESAAix art school in Aix-En-Provence.

Alien strains of processed guitar shards dominate the landscape of 'Tubular Moanings' with ocassional recourse to disembodied choral figures and clanking percussive blasts. it's an eery, unsetling masterpiece of drone and texture throughout, summoning the cyber-industrial ghosts of abandoned factory wastelands, winds howling through dissused ventilation shafts on cold winter nights, fractured splinters of your psyche left scattered....

"Between improvisation, ambient and drone music, the album oscillates between guitar solos passing through a lot of delays and real-time manipulated samples. It's a concept-like album, not really ambient, not really drone. It's about ambient or drone. It questioned my place in art school, what I could do with a guitar and all the possibilities of sounds on a computer. I liked to denature as much
as possible the sample until I surprised myself with the result." Sgt. Elyas

REVIEWS
--------------
"Is your refrigerator moaning? Yes it is, apparently. In a rather tubular fashion. The album is two twenty-minute works comprising many varied, guitar-driven soundscapes. Drone, ambient, dark ambient and experimental designs leave a haunting taste in the mouth." NORMAN RECORDS
www.normanrecords.com/records/176503-sgt-elyas-tubular-moanings-of-a-galactic

"The sound is heavy, thick, and powerful, without overusing distortions and effects, the tones reference the guitar but the sonic range is quite nuanced with distant throbbing percussion like rhythms fading in the background, slow symphonic pulses, washing ashore like a wave crashing upon the unsuspecting sand..." DECAYCAST WEBZINE + NETLABEL
decaycast.wordpress.com/2019/06/05/decaycast-reviews-sgt-elyas-tubular-moanings-of-a-galactic-refrigerator-aphelion-editions-2019/

"Sgt. Elyas likes his guitar to howl around in a cold and distant space, the result of using quite some reverb and controlled feedback tones. There are also moments that are less rooted in the world of drones, and perhaps could be labelled to be distant percussion. It all sounds like it has been recorded in an old factory, now stripped bare." FRANS DE WAARD, VITAL WEEKLY 1184
www.vitalweekly.net/1184.html

"As it builds up it can become the entire space in which you are listening, going from one dimension to an entire galaxy of dimensions. It blisters and soars. As it crashes and fades it finds its way to bring about deeper, nautical tones. There is a cutting through here as well, that horror movie chopping."
