JB Dunckel, the co-founder of Air, marked the 25th anniversary of their debut album, Moon Safari, earlier this year. Recently, Dunckel unveiled his first ballet score, Möbius Morphosis, with the lead single “Corps échangés” released today.
In a statement, Dunckel expressed, “This music is first and foremost at the service of a choreography whose boldness, acrobatic grace, and energy won me over straight away. The choir of Maitrise de Radio France amplified the scope of the work above my expectations. From the moment I started composing, I brought my very personal formula of percussion, pure voices, and powerful electronics to the process… The vocal harmonies are characterized by a certain exalted dramatic tension, sometimes desperate, sometimes glorious.”
