F<\/mark>rance Jobin<\/strong>\u2019s Modulisme Session 123<\/strong> <\/a>is a stunning contribution to the long-running Modulisme<\/strong> series\u2014a platform that has consistently championed modular synthesis as both an art form and a philosophy. As a long-time fan of Jobin<\/strong>\u2019s work, I was especially thrilled to hear her take on this session, and she does not disappoint. True to her refined style, this release is rich in intricate detail, with a meticulous arrangement of clicks, blips, and microscopic textures that form a beautifully precise sonic architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jobin<\/strong>\u2019s approach here is disciplined yet expressive. Each sound feels carefully chosen and purposefully placed, creating an evolving structure that\u2019s as intellectually satisfying as it is sonically intriguing. There\u2019s a tactile sense of space and movement\u2014sounds dart, flicker, and pulse in and out of focus, like signals from a distant, beautifully functioning machine. Rather than rely on sweeping gestures, Jobin<\/strong> leans into the micro\u2014the hum, the glitch, the shimmer\u2014and in doing so, constructs something quietly monumental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dedicated platform for left-field modular synth artists<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To appreciate this session fully, it helps to understand the context of the Modulisme<\/strong> (translates Modularism<\/em>). Curated by Philippe Petit<\/strong>, Modulisme<\/strong> sessions launched in 2019 as a dedicated platform for left-field modular synth artists working across genres and geographies. Each session is a standalone work, all featuring exclusive compositions recorded live with analog modular gear. The series roster is a who\u2019s who in contemporary modular music, showcasing artists such as Todd Barton<\/strong>, Thomas Dimuzio<\/strong>, Ian Boddy<\/strong>, Jack Dangers<\/strong>, Scanner<\/strong>, Benge<\/strong>, and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

France Jobin<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s Session 123<\/strong> is a standout in this context. Her sound design feels effortlessly precise, full of restrained energy and clever asymmetry. The use of clicks and blips gives the piece a rhythmic undercurrent that never becomes obvious, always skirting the edge of pattern without locking into repetition. It\u2019s music that rewards close listening\u2014offering new details with every play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
