Plateaux Techniques

Plateaux Techniques is an electronic downbeat music project based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Its very own brand of cinematic-sounding ambiences is a product of the intelligent mixture of electronics, vocals, samples and live instruments. With elements of breaks, hip hop, jazz, loungy electronica, along with more ?soundtrack-sounding? pieces, Plateaux Techniques still manages to uphold a consistent sound in spite of the overall eclecticism.

Behind the project we find producer Mads B. B. Krog, who has a solid and successful background in mostly club-oriented electronic music production, composing and remixing. Most notable recent work includes remix and production assignments for names such as Faithless, Donell Jones and Chris Minh Doky, plus various productions and remixes under the monikers Alo?, Jeunes Filles Perverses and Cato Azul. Krog has spent the last three years recording and developing the sound of his main project, Plateaux Techniques.

The self-titled 14-track album features a wide range of collaborations with artists from various genres of music. This includes jazz musicians like Palle Mikkelborg on trumpet, Chris Minh Doky on bass and Peter Rosendal on piano and fluga bone, classical musicians like Bolette Roed on recorder and Kaare Norge on guitar, percussion player Ayi Solomon, rapper Fantabis and many others. The unlikely combination of electronic noise, French and Chinese rap, computer game sounds, recorder solos, melodic trumpet passages, porn movie samples, acoustic guitars, analogue drum machines, water pipe, Mos 6581 synthesis, it all comes together in creating the unique sound of Plateaux Techniques.
