More than twenty years after it first appeared on CD via Mutek, Marc Leclair's Musique pour 3 femmes enceintes receives the vinyl edition it always deserved — pressed in Detroit at Archer Record Pressing and issued as a double LP by LA-based ISC Hi-Fi Selects.
For those who know Leclair through his hyper-detailed micro-sampling work as Akufen on Perlon and Force Inc., the tone here may surprise. This is a quieter, more personal project — one that developed slowly over nearly seven years, piece by piece, as a meditation on pregnancy, transformation and the quiet miracle of life beginning.
The album's origins are intimate. Three of Leclair's closest friends became pregnant almost simultaneously, and what began as a single commemorative track gradually expanded into a 72-minute suite that follows the full arc of the nine months. The same meticulous craftsmanship that defined his dance records is present throughout — Leclair speaks of working like a jeweller, spending hours on a single phrase — but here the focus shifts from rhythmic intricacy toward something slower and atmospheric. Shimmery guitar and piano samples, gauzy synth pads and viscous ambient drift unfold with the patience of a long meditation, the music layering and branching until it feels less like a sequence of compositions than a living process. Spread across two LPs, it finally has the room it needs.
Inverted Audio Record Store in Peckham will host a UK exclusive listening session for the first-ever vinyl pressing of Marc Leclair’s Musique Pour 3 Femmes Enceintes, taking place on Saturday 9 May 2026 from 18:00 to 19:30.
