Principles of Geometry

Principles of Geometry, the Lille-based duo of Guillaume Grosso and Jeremy Duval, occupy a unique space within the French electronic scene, primarily associated with the Tigersushi label. Their sound identity is defined by a rejection of the 'glitch-for-glitch's-sake' mentality of early 2000s IDM, opting instead for a 'maximalist-minimalism' that emphasizes harmonic richness and analog texture.

Their work is deeply referential, citing John Carpenter's synth scores, the early Warp Records catalog (Autechre, Boards of Canada), and the incidental music of VHS-era advertisements as primary influences. Critically, they are lauded for their ability to evoke 'hauntological' nostalgia without falling into pastiche, using vintage gear to create something that feels contemporary yet unmoored from time. Their career arc has seen them move from the relatively straightforward electronica of their self-titled debut to more conceptual, sprawling projects like 'Burn the Land and Boil the Oceans.' They remain a cult favorite among crate-diggers and fans of 'braindance' who prioritize atmosphere and melody over rhythmic aggression.
