Defense Mechanisms by Louis "Louison" de Mieulle
First solo album by french composer/bassist Louis de Mieulle. A unique mix of vintage electric jazz, twisted polyrhythms, and experimental song structures.
"Is there such a thing as “math-jazz”? I’ve no idea, but it will have you tapping your toe and scratching your head at one and the same time. (...) An engaging and sometimes challenging, but always entertaining listen"
(Roger Trenwith - DPRP)
"Strangely hypnotic and trance-like"
(Jon Neudorf - Sea of Tranquility)
