6500.jpg "musiques d'intérieur" le Garazi Philanthropik(e) Orkestra CD €12.00
The six multi - instrumentalist personalities of " Le Garazi Philanthropik (e) Orkestra " blow, pinch, strike. Rub, roar, jump. A musical attitude which turns and builds itself through the manipulation of heterogeneous sound objects (the kazou, the Jew's harp, the yukulélé) and the use of more conventional instruments (trombone, cello, accordion..

6218.jpg "An inescapable siren within earshot distance..." Moe!kestra CD €10.00
.....therein and other whereabouts. This is Moe! Staiano's first CD of orchcestral compositions (for Strings, Percussion, U-bolts, Wine Glasses, Prepared Guitar and Sirens), which differ greatly from his conducted improvisations. The pieces were recorded in 1998 and 2003, respectively. Moe! Staiano is a self-trained composer/performer who uses large ensembles of mixed instruments as a canvas for sonic exploration. His scores combine text, graphics, and conventional notation, and he is equally inspired by the composers Glenn Branca, Krystof Penderecki, and John Zorn, as well as the bands Einsturzende Neubauten, the Ex, and the Ruins, Moe!'s pieces pit groups of acoustic instruments against amplified rock instruments and found objects to create intense orchestral collages with subtly shifting timbres. As a percussionist, Moe! has toured the U.S.A several times, collaborated with Henry Kaiser and Amy Denio, and has performed with William Hooker, Michael Evans (God Is My Co-Pilot), Caroline Kraabel, and John Edwards (Shock Exchange). The recordings feature Ches Smith (Good for Cows), David Slusser, Nils Frykdahl (Sleepytime Gorilla Museum), Kris Force (Amber Asylum) and 29 other musicians. The Piece No.7 recording features, sadly, the final recording of bassist Matthew Sperry (who has worked with Tom Waits, Anthony Braxton, Gino Robiar, etc.).

19651.jpg "tribute to Shunatao" Shunatao CD €12.00
Quand tout le monde se remixe, Shunatao se reprend. Pour la première fois (?) un groupe choisit de s¹auto-hommager de son vivant et de repartir en studio rejouer ses propres morceaux. Ce sixième album revisite donc les cinq précédents selon une sélection maison de premier choix, des abrasions psychotiques de l¹inaugural « Autoretrat » au rutilant péplum pop «Spartacus ». Dans le moule de ce « tribute », Shunatao coule un bronze sonore qui ne ressemble évidemment en rien au passé. Sans jamais effacer le groove rocktatoué sur sa musique, Shunatao multiplie et varie les couches d¹arrangements faussement simplistes et se refait une peinture à chaque chanson : voix voilées d¹outre-tombes, bastringue, flûtes de pan, orgues de supermarché, violons à pleurer, rythmique sur bois, hymnes à boire, cuivres enfumées, guitares héroïques. Quand Shunatao joue avec les fantômes de Shunatao, tous les genres vascillent et les comparaisons avec.
