Label: WFMU
Release date: 2009
Total running time: 0:35:57
Victoire, a Brooklyn-based band founded by composer Missy Mazzoli, has a distinct sound that harks back to the age of the gramophone (Victoire was once called “Victrola”, but RCA shut that down pretty quickly) but in a modern setting. Strings, clarinets and keyboards sweep around sounds ranging from sewing machines and answering machine tapes into what has been called “minimalist, post-rock bliss.” Victoire’s performance on WFMU is a wash of insistent harmony. Strings, piano, clarinet and a plethora of electronic accompaniments intermingle to create lilting soundscapes. Included is the newer song from composer Missy Mazzoli, “Like a Miracle,” as well as a piano and electronics excerpt from an opera she wrote, premiering on May 29th.
