Helene Breschand & Sylvain Kassap - Double-Peine

Double-Peine by Helene Breschand & Sylvain Kassap

4...according to our on Thu 01 Jul, 2010.

This is strange in a very positive sense of the word. The artists create a unique and at times sleazy sound with harp machines, clarinets, machines (???), toys and voice. The vocal plays quite a large role making weird sounds and phrases and get manipulated, presumably by said machines. Overall it has a musique concrete feel about it although I really can't compare this to anything else I have heard but certainly some of it sounds quite John Cage influenced. Also there is a large element of free improvisation and adventurous post-production. This French label is very interesting so check it out.
