Emancipés du vide?
M'Z Jazz Rock/Fusion

Review by alainPP

An album by musician Mathieu Torres, who also performs under the name String Theory, recounting the crash of a passenger plane in the Alps, a code name for a harrowing moment. Okay, let's get back to M'Z and his "Emancipés du vide?" for a musical melting pot of pop, rock, jazz, hard rock, and music shaped by genres ranging from Canterbury to Drum 'n' Bass, Rock in Opposition?in short, a diverse, ambient blend bordering on rock, pure and simple. A melancholic fusion with touches of progressive metal, a juxtaposition of complex sounds, layers of fat, invasive synths bringing a dark side, energetic, eclectic crescendi, all accompanied by guitar that is happy, sad, or both at the same time.

Ideas of emotional themes, freedom in a sick world?this is what his music takes us to; a violent and acerbic critique of our world, of our Kleenex society, translated into these singular pieces. Colorful art rock without real drawers, original and captivating compositions, an uncompromising sound, overflowing with creativity with its heroes bearing the signature of Steve VAI and Joe SATRIANI, no coincidence given the riffs and tunes offered. A sound allowing one to dream or meditate at low cost on these different instrumental pieces but brought together in a conceptual way. (3.5).
