Minimal ambient / guitar drone explorations from the French avant rock guitarist. "...perhaps one of the best examples of a guitarist engaged in a duet with his own amplifier....each of which seems to build out of the sort of simple tone or pure feedback an amplifier practically might give you all on its own. Practically, that is, as the human factor is still needed in the sense of someone turning the machine on, and more... just the point when one begins to wonder if a human mind is still engaged in producing these nearly still-life pieces, the guitarist expertly comes up with a subtle maneuver that lets you know he is still there with all his potential warmth and imagination... the entire process turns out to be a setup for the final track, in which an acoustic guitar sound warm enough to crackle round the campfire is treated to some kind of echo treatment" (Eugene Chadbourne). 

The second album in the 'Joseph Trilogy': "The character of Joseph is a place, a view or a position more than a speech. The physical representation of stand-by. There is no idea of progress, neither of improvement, in between the three solos. It's just time passing in front of someone's feet. A length and a duty, a sound and a room, a guitar and an amp" (Akchoté). Jewelcase edition.
