ALT 01.83 is the story of a musical partnership forged over 10 years, through a collective and an Auvergne-based event: HIGHLIFE.
This collaboration between Sa|eL and Switch Groove represents the gradual development of a shared musical journey, shaped by the fusion of related artistic paths.
Above all, ALT 01.83 was not the subject of any prior statement of intent, whether theoretical or musical, leaving the course of the production process itself to determine the direction this project would take.
One programmes the musical and sonic frameworks, laying out an initial outline, whilst the other expands, arranges and refines the initial idea into a finished musical piece.
To define the musical foundations of this project would therefore be at odds with its guiding principle. To define is to constrain and reduce the scope of possibilities.
Thus, ALT 01.83 cannot be confined to a single category or genre, preferring instead a substance, a line of flight and a universe—that of sensitive, cosmic and deep electronic music, blurring, as far as possible, the relationships between past, present and future.
