A little over ten years\u00a0after his first solo album, &#8216;Darkel&#8217;\u00a0(2006) \u2014 and following his 2013\u00a0collaboration with Lou Hayter, &#8216;<i>T<\/i>omorrow&#8217;s World&#8217; and 2015 album with Bar\u00f0i\u00a0J\u00f3hannsson, &#8216;Starwalker&#8217;\u00a0\u2014 &#8216;H+&#8217;\u00a0sets the\u00a0tone through its album cover created by French design studio Akatre, depicting the artist in a utopian landscape. &#8216;H+&#8217;\u00a0represents a\u00a0positively charged\u00a0hydrogen ion, known as a proton; it also is the symbol of transhumanism.<\/p>\n<p>After having alternated solo albums, using his Darkel alias, with Air projects,\u00a0&#8220;in order,&#8221; said Jean-Beno\u00eet, <em>&#8220;to avoid being\u00a0soluble in Air &#8211; for Air\u00a0is white and Darkel is&#8230; well, dark,&#8221;<\/em> he set his sights on recapturing the\u00a0entirety of his being. <em>&#8220;I\u00a0use the sound experiences of Air; I just extend my\u00a0Air sound in a solo setting. I don&#8217;t renounce the past, in fact I exploit\u00a0it\u00a0quite openly,&#8221;<\/em> the artist recently explained.<\/p>\n<p>Scoring film soundtracks \u2014 Fabrice Gobert&#8217;s &#8216;K.O.&#8217;\u00a0(2017), Olivier\u00a0Babinet&#8217;s &#8216;Swagger,&#8217; and Alant\u00e9 Kava\u00eft\u00e9&#8217;s &#8216;Summer&#8217;\u00a0(both from 2015) \u2014\u00a0apparently confirmed Jean-Beno\u00eet&#8217;s exponential taste for loads of violins and\u00a0improvisation in the\u00a0studio. Many of his songs are based on the barest of piano\u00a0melodies and a vocal style that is smoother and freer than\u00a0ever. Years of\u00a0singing on tour with Air strengthened his voice; it now has a deeper range and\u00a0tone, while remaining\u00a0androgynous. The mixture of longevity and a love of\u00a0transformation bring to mind David Bowie; and one could easily\u00a0imagine the cozy\u00a0sound bubbles Dunckel produces \u2014 with the ideals of <em>&#8220;sex &amp; space<\/em>&#8221; never far\u00a0from his mind \u2014 being\u00a0performed three thousand years from now in a cosmic jazz\u00a0version.<\/p>\n<p>With his favorite synthesizers, the MS20 and the\u00a0Arp 2600, Jean-Beno\u00eet\u00a0spent a lot of time honing this album aboard his private spaceship, a way of\u00a0thumbing his nose\u00a0at the wave of dystopias that make mincemeat of all our hopes\u00a0and dreams, by creating a future in which <em>&#8220;romantic\u00a0transhumanism&#8221;<\/em> reigns, <em>&#8220;man\u00a0never ages, and love is eternal&#8221;<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on JB Dunckel, visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/t.e2ma.net\/click\/zd9yr\/z1r5vo\/f2m66e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"e2ma-style\">jbdunckel.com.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>JB Dunckel, one half of the duo Air, will release his sophomore solo album &#8216;H+&#8217; on March 16 via SONY Music France\/Jive Epic.
