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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Le Zen Dans L'art Du Tir À L'arc \u003cbr\u003e1.2 The Guitar Piece I Wrote for Masumi \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Wabi Sabi for Beginners \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Sen No Rikyu \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Lignes Tranquilles Dans Le Gravier Blanc\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sylvain Chauveau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42618718158919,"sku":"46112859","price":31.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4503497-3552339.jpg?v=1773917364","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/chauveau-sylvain-the-complexity-of-the-simple-vinyl-lp","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
