Bisou Genou

Bisou Genou is the first album by frise lumière, the sound art and performance project of Ludovic Gerst.

Released in 2021, the album marks the beginning of a body of work centred on prepared bass as a self-contained sonic system. Through extended playing techniques, raw acoustic textures and an attention to resonance, the instrument becomes simultaneously melodic, rhythmic and percussive, unfolding as a continuous exploration of sound, space and physical listening.

Rather than treating the bass as a conventional musical instrument, Bisou Genou approaches it as a material in itself, allowing friction, vibration and silence to become compositional elements.
