The Details
Jean-Pierre Larouche - guitar, Nathanaël Labrèche - guitar, Vincent Savary - bass, Hugo Veilleux - drums, Julien Daoust - drums. Bisbâyé - pronounced 'bees-bow-yay' - translates as "what happens when there is nothing else one can do, when uncertainty and obstacles require excelling oneself" and was founded in 2001 by guitarist and main composer Jean-Pierre Larouch. Bisbâyé may be most notable for including two guitarists and two drum kits, with the two guitarists answering each other's riffs and the two percussionists answering each other's beats in real time, and the bassist being the musical fulcrum. This polyrhythmic superposition creates a compelling stereo effect (best experienced with headphones on). RIYL: Don Caballero, Meshuggah, King Crimson, Steve Reich, Gyorgy Ligeti
