On 'Sept duos pour guitare acoustique & piano préparé', Stephen O'Malley and Anthony Pateras move away from the electroacoustic manipulations of their previous collaboration and embrace a completely acoustic approach, capturing each performance live and untouched. Recorded during O’Malley’s residency at La Becque in Switzerland, the album unfolds through delicate interactions between steel-string acoustic guitar and prepared piano, creating a suspended world of resonance, overtones, harmonics, and subtle tonal instability. Sparse yet deeply immersive, the music drifts without obvious tempo or structure, guided instead by listening, intuition, and the natural decay of sound within space.

Across pieces like "déjà voulu", "déjà senti", and "déjà raconté", shimmering guitar harmonics intertwine with bell-like prepared piano tones, producing an atmosphere that feels simultaneously meditative, mournful, and dreamlike. Though minimalist in appearance, the album constantly shifts through changing tunings, textures, and emotional shades, rewarding attentive listening with remarkable depth and detail. Recorded during a period marked by grief and reflection, these seven improvised duos carry a quiet emotional weight, balancing fragility, clarity, and patience while exploring the physical and psychological resonance of acoustic sound.
