Evelyne/Masao is the collaborative project of French-American vocalist Evelyne Bennu and Japanese musician Masao Hiruma. Their 1982 album "Testpattern" showcases a fusion of lush, sophisticated electronics with minimalist production, drawing influences from Yellow Magic Orchestra and European electronic pioneers like Asmus Tietchens and Cluster. Bennu's versatile vocals range from New Wave deadpan to expressive chanson, adding depth to tracks such as "Sakuramochi" and "Bird Island." "Testpattern" stands as a testament to their innovative approach to synthpop and electronic music. ([evelynemasao.bandcamp.com](https://evelynemasao.bandcamp.com/album/testpattern?utm_source=openai))
