Sylvain Chauveau returns to 130701 with The Complexity Of The Simple, his sixteenth solo album and a refined statement from one of Europe's most established minimalist composers. Following earlier releases on the label - Un autre décembre (2003) and Simple (2012) - this new work deepens Chauveau's long-standing exploration of reduction, clarity, and attentive listening what he has previously described as quiet-core. Written between 2016 and 2025 and assembled in early 2025, the album brings together pieces shaped by two interconnected ideas: the experience of radical simplicity, and a reflection on the material future of music itself. Influenced by minimal and abstract art - echoed in the album's title, borrowed from a 2007 exhibition featuring artists such as Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, and Mark Rothko - the record sits confidently within the contemporary post-classical landscape while maintaining Chauveau's distinctive voice. Elegant, restrained, and conceptually resonant, The Complexity Of The Simple will appeal to audiences of post-classical, minimal, and ambient music, as well as listeners drawn to artists such as Ryuichi Sakamoto, Arvo Pärt, and the 130701 catalogue. It is a thoughtful and timely addition to Chauveau?s extensive body of work.
