'Entre Chien et Loup' is an old French idiom that designates the period at the end -or beginning- of the day, when the light is such that it is difficult to distinguish a dog from a wolf.
The first collaborative album by Julien Demoulin and Frédéric Dufourd, 'Entre Chien et Loup' (RTR051), was recorded in late 2020 and early 2021 as result of a half year of remote musical exchanges. The two friends swapped drafts of ambient tracks recorded during lockdown, trying to bring life and light into them; they attempted to capture this particular type of light into soundscapes as the common thread for an album. The result is a collection of warmth and contemplative pieces mixing drifting aerial synth, field recordings and organic instrumental fragments.
Julien Demoulin is a French born ambient music producer living in Belgium since 2006. He has released music since 2004, first as part of Silencio until 2013, then under his own name, on labels such as Time Released Sound, three:four records, Healing Sound Propagandist, and Sound in Silence.
Frédéric Dufourd used to be part of lo-fi chanson duo Donna (plusriendenous.bandcamp.com), which doesn’t really account for his constant interest in field recording and electro-acoustic sounds throughout the years. In the early 00’s he helped launch Grand Téton Records (www.grandtetonrecords.com) which released Silencio’s debut album, thus marking the beginning of a musical friendship now spanning decades.

Brilliant exploration in minimalism. The drone and spread make this a great album to come back to and reflect on openings in ourselves and the world we exist in. L.N. Quinn

I love this whole album but Piezoelectric Shores is cemented in my mind as being synonymous with 2023. I love it when music can put its stamp on a period in your life, where you were, what you were doing and how you felt. Magic. Stu Wood

As I drift away from the Earth and all its chaos, its gleam reduces to a speck in the vast cosmos surrounding me. I close my eyes and take my solace among the ocean of stars. Christopher Nolan
