Tout Bleu's second record, 'Otium', recalls a route where the electronic crosses paths with the acoustic. This new milestone in Genevan multi-instrumentalist Simone Aubert's (Massicot, Hyperculte) musical field represents a kind of fruitful deceleration. Initially conceived as a solo project, the act is now an exploration ground for the musicians gathered on 'Otium': Naomi Mabanda on cello (Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp, Chien Mon Ami) and Luciano Turella on alto (Irtum Branda) encounter the sampling machines of POL, that could already be found on the first eponymous album. The band, by using acoustic instruments, vocals and electric guitar in an unconventional way, draws an orchestral landscape that sometimes flirts with pop, and where strings merge in polyrythm on low tempo beats.
