Originally surfacing as an ultra-obscure 1979 soundtrack, Alain Pierre’s Des Morts (Of The Dead) fuses haunting ethnological field recordings with the experimental edge of musique concrète and evocative synthesizer work. Known for his collaborations with trailblazing artists like Philippe Druillet and John Surman, Pierre crafts a sound world as unsettling as it is captivating, offering a truly singular experience for fans of avant-garde film scores.
This expanded reissue—remastered and featuring additional vintage studio outtakes—invites listeners to plunge into a morbid yet mesmerizing sonic narrative, echoing the shock cinema of Thierry Zéno and the Belgian bandes dessinée underground. With its unique blend of folk mystique and early sampling, Des Morts stands apart from its peers, appealing to collectors and adventurous listeners drawn to the stranger corners of the soundtrack and experimental music canon.
