THE ROAD TO SOUND: Video Premiere: Bec Plexus & Pascal Le Boeuf, “mirror image”
BY VANESSA AGUE
“The sixth installation of Bec Plexus’ video release spree is Grammy-nominated composer and pianist Pascal Le Boeuf’s ‘mirror image.’ Le Boeuf, whose music often connects the dots between genres and technologies, is a perfect fit for Plexus’ surreal world of avant-pop. With ‘mirror image,’ he writes music that’s harsh and unpredictable, stopping and starting as the beat crashes in unexpected moments. The song perpetually drives forward, even as its melody moves in a stop-and-go fashion. It tells the story of a relationship gone awry as the two people involved begin to hate their similarities; both words and music spiral out of control, bursting into choruses of echoing voices and pummeling beats.”
