Epignose – Désincarnation

Epignose’s Désincarnation, released in on July 18, 2024, is an uncompromising plunge into analog chaos. Recorded live with the Lyra-8 as the sole sound source, the pieces reject polish in favor of immediacy, electricity in its most primal form. Désincarnation III is a short, violent arc, Désincarnation V shifts downward, its low-end surges at 1:05 rattling the listener before a piercing oscillator slices through like a scalpel. By 2:20 the track disintegrates into crackling distortion, refusing resolution. The strength of the album lies not in structure but in texture—the sheer volatility of analog circuitry pushed to its limit. References to Puce Mary or Maurizio Bianchi make sense, yet Epignose’s sound is more stripped, more naked, as if the machine itself were performing. What remains is not music in the conventional sense but an act of sonic violence that is at once intimate and confrontational. Désincarnation insists that noise is not backdrop but flesh, and listening is an act of endurance.

Epignose is based im Lyon, France

Genre

Noise / Industrial / Live Analog Improvisation

Strengths

• Raw analog power of the Lyra-8: snarling oscillators, unstable drones, and visceral feedback.

• Improvisational immediacy: each gesture feels physical and unpolished, like electricity embodied.

• Textural contrasts: moments of near-silence collide with sudden eruptions of saturated noise.

Formal Aspects

• Désincarnation III (02:53): compact burst, starting with high-pitched feedback, morphing into a grinding wall of mid-range noise; ends abruptly without resolution.
• Désincarnation V (02:36): darker timbre, heavy low-end pulses; midway a piercing oscillation slices through before collapsing back into distortion.

Standout Moments / Key Points

00:05 (I) – the pieca (and tha album) start with the tpical and beautiful full sound of LYRA osc’s.

01:43 (I) – shrill oscillator peak cuts like a knife through the texture.

01:56 (V) – typical LYRA oscillator sounds shrills in.

02:20 (V) – collapse into distorted crackle, piece ends unresolved.

Comparisons / References

Puce Mary – in the tension between fragility and brutality.

Maurizio Bianchi – raw industrial edges, unapologetically abrasive.

SOMA Lyra-8 improvisers (e.g. DEXBA – the unmistakable organic instability of the instrument.
