YUJI TAKAHASHI 高橋悠治 (2006)

ATAK006
Anthology of musique concrète pieces recorded 2005, except Kumo-rinzetsu, a live computer performance recorded in 1995, Und Flieder in die Sonne (1989) & Time scored for animation by Hiroshi Manabe and recorded in 1963.

"He was trained as a pianist to play contemporary and classical music. Meeting Xenakis in 1963 led to composing some electronic works, but later on he played more traditional music. In the last years he has recited Bach as-well as playing a laptop duo with Keiichiro Shibuya. He is the founder of the Atak label, which before brought Stillupsteypa, Kahn/Cascone/Steinbruchel and Goem for instance, but here go in a totally different direction: an overview of Takahashi's electronic works, starting with 'Time' (1963) up-to to 'GS-portrait' (2005), and appear in reverse order: the most recent pieces start out. But the review goes back first.
'Time' is perhaps the only real electronic/electro-acoustic piece, based on the sound of clock-ticks, treated in a rather raw fashion - but maybe not unknown looking at the year when it was composed. All the other pieces use instruments, voices, electronic treatments and sound like recorded in an improvised manner. In two pieces text is used, one by Gertrude Stein and one by Kafka, written on his death bed. (…) Not easy listening music, but the improvised pieces #2 to #6 are certainly great" (FdW/staalplaat.com/vital_archive/)

THE VITAMIN B12 - RAFT122 (2002)

Raft Recordings - Vinyl, 7"
Vitamin B12 aka Alasdair Willis (who played saxophone on " Juice Head Crazy Lady" in the Nurse With Wound's Huffin' Rag Blues) delivered with this 7" a "musique concrete" variation of the techno age. Good and simple.

Tracklist
A - 68 X 32
B - System Mix

"The Vitamin B12 is Alasdair Willis. Reclusive Brighton based author of contemporary surrealist artifacts. This single was commissioned for Rafts instrumental series, specifically with the 7" medium in mind.
The two pieces are vastly contrasting and perhaps some small clue to their aesthetic may be placed within the titles themselves...
68 x 32 is a Musique Concrete assemblage so therefore must be art, and as such it can only be judged by posterity, no one yet can really say what the record is like.
System Six is a melodic composition for tuned percussion sounds, with a surprisingly liberating, yet oddly mind-bending ascending motif, which calls on the infinite resources that can be gleaned from careful application of the laws of repetition, that can be gleaned from careful application of the laws of repetition laws of repetition of repetition. This record exists precisely because it was made to be." - Raft.

La Fondation is a french art collective, connected to the experimental & post-punk arts. "Haute Tension" (High Voltage) was a TV program broadcasted once a month during 1981 and 1984 on french TV "antenne 2" (in the legendary "Les Enfants du Rock"), which made discover the industrial/experimental/post-punk music and esthetics on France (for example, Lefdup & Lefdup, Loulou & Kiki Picasso, Speedy Graphito, belong many others, made videos for the tracks played on).

prod : La Fondation (Michel Eli, Bertrand Merinos-Péris, Alain Burosse)
Real : Mathias Ledoux, Olivier Baudoin, Stéphane Teichner
20 émissions : experimentations vidéos et avant-garde rock art video post-punk
Extract of a Lefdup interview
"Le nom de Lefdup & Lefdup ne vous dira peut-être pas grand chose, pourtant les images et les sons produits par ces deux frères inséparables ont nourri l'imaginaire de beaucoup de par le travail télévisuel qu'ils ont fourni notamment pour l'émission « Haute Tension », diffusée dans le cadre des Enfants du Rock dans la première partie des années 80 (certains ont pu y découvrir pour la première fois des groupes comme Siouxsie & The Banshees, The Residents, PIL, Renaldo & The Loaf, Hunters & Collectors ou encore Laurie Anderson)"

"Voilà, c’était une séquence additive. Les Enfants du rock, c’était toutes les semaines, et « Haute Tension » c’était le bonus qui devait passer tous les mois à peu près. Mine de rien, quand tu y passais, tu avais une visibilité énorme, surtout pour des groupes comme Lucrate Milk ou comme nous, sachant qu’un disque comme celui de Lucrate ne passait dans aucune radio. Il y avait une sorte de disproportion.
Par le biais de « Haute Tension » et Alain Burosse, on a rencontré plein de gens. Phil Gaz, je l’ai rencontré parce qu’Alain passait les vidéos d’Un Département dans « Haute Tension ». Puis il y a eu tout un tas de gens, comme Speedy Graphito ."

alice news: Rainier Lericolais' Exhibition ROUEN 01/14-02/20

Rainier lericolais - Intangible - École des Beaux-Arts de Rouen
New exhibition of the french artist & musician in Rouen, city of the seminal label Sordide Sentimental run by Jean-Pierre Turmel. For this occasion, a 45RPM with new music by Rainier will be released in a limited edition.

You can get here the tracks composed by Rainier in 2007 for a previous exhibition in this Art school (Rainier Lericolais : reader's digest vol. 2)

"Les oeuvres de Rainier Lericolais se caractérisent en partie par la manière dont elles représentent, voire incarnent les emblèmes d'une certaine culture (musicale, mais aussi artistique et littéraire), la sienne propre, qu'il partage également avec une large génération née durant la seconde moitié du 20e siècle. Ces musiciens, leur image mais aussi les connexions existant entre ces personnalités et leurs productions sont repris au vol et activés par Rainier Lericolais comme des facteurs plastiques à part entière. L’ouverture de La Chambre claire, à laquelle il est particulièrement attaché, aurait très bien pu remplacer le présent communiqué : elle décrit avec exactitude la nature du contact établi par le biais de l’œuvre (et de la vie) de R. L. avec certaines figures de la musique, et plus généralement de la pensée lorsqu’il les cite, collabore avec eux, ou les représente. Le regard qu’il (dé)peint lorsqu’il réalise leur portrait a l’intensité d’un point de contact réel avec celui ou celle qui écrivit, joua, chanta...
Ainsi le sujet des œuvres semble se dérouler de lui-même (délices des liens et de l’apparent hasard, analogies, identification, etc.) et l’apparition de l’œuvre, sa part sombre et muette peut advenir sans bruit (mais c’est peut-être la fonction secrète du caractère culturel de toute œuvre).
En plus de nouvelles pièces, figureront dans l'exposition un ensemble important d'oeuvres sur papier, des céramiques et un grand "dessin à la colle". Ces dessins n'ont rien d'une charmante parenthèse dans le travail de Rainier Lericolais : leur beauté même constitue une clé de lecture de la manière dont, ardemment mais secrètement, il déstabilise ses propres expériences." (Catherine Schwartz)

alice news: Fabrice Cotinat's Exhibition ST IRIEIX 01/15-02/27

Fabrice Cotinat "Confusion 1994-2005"
Du 15 janvier au 27 février 2010
En partenariat avec le FRAC Limousin (more info pdf)
Centre Culturel Jean-Pierre Fabrègue 87500 Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche
Ouvert du mardi au vendredi de 9h à 12h et de 14h à 18h, le samedi de 10h à 12h et de 14h à 17h30.
"Fabrice Cotinat, "ingénieur"- acteur au sein du collectif d'artistes "La Galerie du Cartable", développe en solo des expériences où il n'a de cesse de donner à la technologie une tournure entropique, de la faire tourner à vide. "Confusion" est une oeuvre ancienne récemment restaurée, robot programmé pour redessiner des motifs avec une légère erreur. Machine à (re)produire des plans, des graphiques, des dessins,... une nouvelle sorte de "machine à peindre" pour reprendre le titre du livre de M. Fréchuret qui se situerait dans la lignée des Warhol, Tinguely, Pinot-Gallizio, et qui aurait croisé Panamarenko." (Yannick Miloux, 2009)

"Un petit robot, mû par des capteurs solaires qui lui fournissent son énergie, se déplace sur une grande feuille de papier blanc. Muni d'un marqueur d'encre noire, il trace une ligne derrière lui. Son action est dirigée par un dessin préalablement imprimé sur la surface où il évolue. Ce dessin original est reproduit par le robot qui en suit les contours. Mais le travail de ce copiste consciencieux et infatigable finit par provoquer une déformation et une expansion de ce dessin qui occupera toute la surface de la feuille. Le dessin ainsi obtenu est conservé et accroché dans l'espace d'exposition.
Les dessins de départ sont des plans, des modèles utopiques, des tracés ou des symboles pris dans l'histoire de l'art.
L'artiste considère les dessins produits par la machine comme des éditions uniques et originales qui font oeuvres. Chaque dessin de la série est daté, situé, authentifié et validé par un tampon créé et apposé par lui-même.
Celui qui pense que Fabrice Cotinat se contente de s’inscrire dans une tradition machiniste se fourvoie, car le soin de l’artiste porte autant sur la réalisation de machines à la beauté formelle indéniable que sur le résultat de leurs actes."
(Henrique Martins Duarte, Zerodeux n°22, 2002)

ToGé - ÊTRE PRÉCAIRE (LIVE AT RURART, POITIERS, 2009)

SIX ORGANS OF ADMITTANCE & GALA DROP - LIVE IN PARIS 2009-11-28

Psychefolk Master Ben Chasny played live as Six Organs Of Admittance (with the so cute & noisy Magick Markers' Elisa Ambrogio) in Paris in a gig curated by C.L.E.A.R as the first issue of the Fisheye Shows at the Espace B.
The show began with a performance of the so exciting portuguese band Gala Drop, a fusion of psychedelia, tropicalism, krautrock, dub, african rythms, tribal electronics
Sadly, I couldn't assist to the show, but in our beloved Tonton Mahood's blog, a mysterious Cheshire Cat gave us his recordings.
So, you can get here : 320/RAR/RS, approx. 35' for Gala Drop and 60' for Six Organs. Enjoy.
