[Eg0_187 / SDT02] Solo Duo Trio #02 : Laurent Di Biase, Sig Valax, ZARAZ WAM ZAGRAM, Camille Émaille, Nina Garcia & Arnaud Rivière (Live at Les Instants Chavirés, 29 may 2018) – co-release with Apocope

We are proud to present the second edition of the Solo Duo Trio project co-organized by labels Apocope & eg0cide productions. This serie of live concerts follows 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). All concerts are later published jointly by Apocope & eg0cide. The 2nd event of the serie  took place on may 29 at Les Instants Chavirés (Montreuil), one of the most lasting and notable venues devoted to free improvisation and experimental music around Paris.

This show featured 6 french experimental musicians active in the free improvisation and noise scene (more info on the artists below)

Début 2018, Egocide Production s’est associé 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). La 3ème édition sera une spéciale guitare et aura lieu le 5 octobre, aux Instants Chavirés comme la seconde (29 mai 2018) dont nous publions aujourd’hui les enregistrements.

Laurent Di Biase

Interdisciplinary and sound artist, graduated from Ecole nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts of Paris and attached to the Locus Sonus audio in art research laboratory, lives and works in Paris. He develops a research and creation work based on mobility and new medias concepts, such as streaming, by the elaboration of new scripts forms linked to the practice of performance, with fiction and real time notions. His approach questions principally the nature of the artwork between space, time and public relationship.  His artworks take shape of AV performances concerts, sculptures installations, sound creations. Strongly inspired by the avant-garde culture, he oriented his practice toward the probable links between media art and experimental music.

[Eg0_174 / SDT01] Solo – Duo – Trio #01 : Failure Circle / Godjira / Ugut (co-release Apocope / Eg0cide)

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

GODJIRA
(Frederik Galiay : basse + Benjamin Pagier : basse).
– Deux basses électriques dans le même ampli-totem-monolythique.
Une poésie “ogrèsque” fouillant dans les retranchements reptiliens du monstre radioactif en marche.
Creusant dans la matière brute et massive jusqu’à de la dentelle aiguisée, les deux musiciens proposent ici une musique où la douceur et la fureur sont au même plan, dans les méandres et les gouffres-affres qui, certainement virent naître le dernier représentant d’une espèce de dinosaures théropodes ;
Godjira.
