Since february 2018, Eg0cide Productions partners with another french label, Apocope, to organize live concerts folowing a simple format: three parts, one solo, one duo, one trio. Artists are invited to present new projects, and to try to new encounters (for one live set or more). Each concert is recorded, and then made available for free download. All these recordings will be co-released by eg0cide and Apocope’s digital section. The objective of this project is to give an insight into the deep, vivid and diverse French experimental music scene.
Egocide Production s’associe au label Apocope (fondé par Paul-André Landes et Xavier Mussat) pour développer un projet initié par Xavier Mussat : organiser des soirées concerts selon un format simple : trois parties, un solo, un duo, un trio. Les artistes sont invités à tester des projets inédits, à tenter des rencontres le temps d’un live (et plus si affinité). Chaque concert est enregistré en prise de son directe et nous vous en offrons un accès gratuit. Ce projet a pour ambition de dessiner un panorama de la scène expérimentale improvisée à un instant T, sa vivacité et sa grande diversité. Tous ces enregistrements seront co-publiés par eg0cide et la section numérique d’Apocope, qui par ailleurs édite livres et cds.
The first event of this serie took place at La Pointe Lafayette on february 17 of 2018.
It featured :
- Failure Circle (a solo project of Kecap Tuyul aka eg0cide S.A.) : this was his first solo show, using a no-input mixer and effects, creating unstable sound situations that can turn to silence, ears-plitting feedback, irregular beats, deep drones…
- Godjira : Frederick Galiay (bass) & Benjamin Pagier (bass) . Two basses plugged in the same monolithic totem-amplifier.
- Ugut : Augustin Bette (drums), Xavier Mussat (guitar), Basile Naudet (saxophone) : this was their first show, mixing radical free improv with experimental noise-rock infused guitar
Recorded by JJGfree & Benjamin Pagier
