| release notes: Fabien Duscombs and Sylvain Darrifourcq are the most exciting jazz (and/or free jazz or whatever) drumers I've ever played with. They both made an appearance on the Various Artists compilation. They have known each others for a while, I think when they met they already had some awful drummer discussions; which are all about how one must bend the snare drums' skin, or how much did Elvin Jones and Tony Williams change everything in the art of drumming. Anyway these musicological points came out very naturally when we spent some time toghether. However, we also had discussions about other subjects, for instance about the way Klaus Kinsky moves his body around his crossed feet to enter the image during some Aguirre or Fitzcarraldo shootings, or how Maurice Herzog threatened Kinsky to shoot him if he decided to leave the boat. Fabien likes the new King Kong, and he's got an amazing knowledge of hard rock bands; Sylvain is more interested in Berlioz orchestrations and he's afraid of what Pierre Boulez thinks about jazz in general; One is tall and the other slim; Neither of them seems to know what is the difference between Squarepusher and LFO; Both of them played with D'incise and me during construct festival in december 2005, in a noisy free jazz way. So they knew of each other but had never played toghether. I was about to leave Toulouse, I wanted to record something with them before I go and also, I thought I would need my analog synth and a bass amp (provided by Jean-Marc from band Pulcinella, thank you) to stick to the sound level of these two punks. We played in one famous underground venue of Toulouse, Le Txus, as small as open-minded, a two sets improvisation (loud) concert on Saturday, January 7th 2006. Then we and 15 other nice persons went to eat in a restaurant till late. Many things happened, passion, good spanish meals, drummer discussions. Around 4 in the morning I found a parking fine on the car (provided by Stéphanie from band Grand Bureau, thank you). Sunday we went to La Trappe Studio, to make some proper recording of our new trio project with Triboulet. He is a former ska drummer reconverted in a sound enginner, and he's the one who handle the noise-abstract-free-electronic-jazz sound on many eDogm releases. He's tall and wears dread locks. He's damn calm while working, and he knows his job. My first idea was to mix all of these takes together, but I finally thought the concert in itself was great, and could deserve a stand alone release, even if it's recorded on a Mini-Disc. The remix project will follow. Let there be punks! - Johann Bourquenez, april 2006 |
