JET – Nuclear Fusion Device. 2017, Geometrik Records.

Music and science become one through thank Poupees Electriques to shapeshaping their new show “JET – Nuclear Fusion Device”, a particular sound structure where JET’s raw sounds are reinterpreted through rhythm, instrumentation, experimentation, tonality and atonality, based on audio and video archives of the plasma experiments performed at the CCFE facilities (Culham Centre for Fusion Energy) in Culham, UK, and field recordings carried out in 2016 by Poupees Electriques and the physicist Ana Manzanares.

The sound of nuclear fusion embodied in a fifty-minute work with nine tracks edited on CD, presented in a 500-copyies limited edition handmade box with reflections and holograms that includes a spectacular tokamak poster (magnetic confinement device), a 16- page booklet with information about nuclear fusion from the perspective of the scientists involved and “JET – Nuclear Fusion Device” project, and machinery’s photographs; two stickers complete the luxury edition of the spectacular electronic/industrial music work by Poupees Electriques.
