Pancrace is a quintet from France comprising Prune Bécheau, Arden Day, Julien Desailly, Léo Maurel, and Jan Vysocky. Pancrace began with a residence in 2015 at the Saint Pancrace church in Dangolsheim where the instrument inventor Léo Maurel resides. Pancrace's debut self-titled double-LP was released by Penultimate Press in 2017 and ended up on The Wire's best releases of that year. After the first record and subsequent tour the band were despondent that the main character of their story, the church organ, was not there. A series of meetings and chance encounters resulted in the band developing their own organ which they named "Organous". The approach of Pancrace is based on the physicality of sound, a choice of specific tone qualities within a given spatial contextual awareness. Therefore, the manufacturing and usage of the musical instrument are constantly reassessed. Consequently, playing with the mechanical aspect of the instruments is central to their musical approach and narrative. Designing an unbound pipe organ - though emulating some of the mechanical idiomatics of the initial Pancrace church organ - seemed the obvious way to gain more spatial control over a vast choice of places. This allowed them to approach their music from a totally new angle and work from within the organ. The results of these experiments are captured here, on their second opus, The Fluid Hammer. This new beast of an instrument, somewhere between a spider or an octopus, led Pancrace to compose from the frontality of the instrument as well as with the interactive tone possibilities brought by other instruments. With it's six panels display (two bass registers, two treble, and a pair of crumhorns) the organ projects sound like the musique concrèt Acousmonium giving the listener a spatialized perception of a wide range of tones and harmonics. Fluid Hammer is the result of the research and experiments undertaken with the Organous and other instruments. Fluid Hammer is a more rhythmic and percussive affair than it's predecessor, bringing to mind the experiments of Conlon Nancarrow as well as fairground barrel organs. The wide range of polyrhythmic patterns generates a constant tension between the machine and the human play. Music for Organous (spatialized and MIDI-controlled pipe organ), Uilleann pipes, Pi-synth, piano, motorised bow, boîte à bourdons, gaida, Baroque violin, hurgy toys, toy piano, componium, bodhran, low whistle, bird calls, AM radio, and shaker.

Comfortable, relaxed fit semi-dress suit that fits true to size. Don't round up or down in size.
This suit fits true to size. We got the 9-10 size in white/tan for our above average height 7 year old, and the suit was just a little big (te Amazon algorithm recommended 9-10 based on past purchases and timing. He is the large side of his 2nd grade class, despite being one of the youngest, so I would say this suit would start fitting an average 8.5-9 year old boy. The fabric is a relaxed summer fabric, so good for semi-dress relaxed events. Our tan suit (and from the weathered gray/blue/green images, I assume all of the suits) seems like a casual menswear commercial shoot. The fabric isn't scratchy and our son said it is comfortable. It includes the picket flower, but I didn't think much of that plastic bloom.

Really cute suit for my son. Worth the price.
Color: Grey, Size: 10-11 Years, Color: Grey, Size: 10-11 Years
My son says he likes the color. He is 10 and we ordered the size 10 to 11 however he’s on the smaller side for 10 and he definitely has some room to grow so it will last us a while and it looks a little baggy on them for right now. However, the fabric is good quality. We like that it comes with a pocket square built-in and also the boutonniere for fancy occasions. I think this would be great for a wedding party or other occasions where you’d need more inexpensive but matching suits. Fabric quality reflects the price. The material is ok, but not gonna be an heirloom that’s passed down or anything. In the picture, he had shoved it into his clothes drawers and so it’s all wrinkled, but it actually does look great when it isn’t wrinkly. He’s been wearing this every week to Church on Sunday.
