In 2020, Le Mystérieux Orchestre Électronique de Paris began recording pieces of Furniture Music for activities requiring concentration or simply for relaxation. The Orchestra uses generative music processes. Electronic tools are considered interpreters, bona fide members of the ensemble. Analog synths are used along with composition software. One of their main dogmas is the exclusion of any percussive instrument. These
purely electronic sounds are contrasted with field recordings gleaned in various places. Somewhere between ambient, new age, perhaps krautrock, their 2024 first album, released on the Parisian Versatile Records label, is composed of pieces that are often about ten minutes long, for the listener to curl up into its pads and repetitive melodies.
