Minimal ambient / guitar drone explorations from the French avant rock guitarist, employing improvised retuning and detuning. "Akchoté builds a grand mood by slowly setting up repeating sounds that feel big and might not consist of much - one or two notes, something behind the bridge, the tone toggle switch flipping back and forth. The mood is sustained triumphantly through the four pieces that make up this collection, but it is the first piece that has the killer groove." (Eugene Chadbourne).

The first 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.
