Akira Rabelais’s 2001 album Eisoptrophobia has been reissued by Boomkat Editions. The album was initially released on Ritornell, a sub-label of Mille Plateaux. It features recordings of pieces by Erik Satie, Béla Bartók, and Vincent Carté that were then transformed by Rabelais’s Argeïphontes Lyre program. You can listen to the album above via the artist’s Bandcamp page. The reissue marks the first time that the album has been pressed on vinyl. There is a limited edition run of 300 copies that were pressed on clear wax. Copies on traditional black vinyl are available as well. You can purchase the album here.
