Sountracks for the movies of Pierre Clementi

LP

2010

Ltd.300

Parisian sound artists, Vincent Epplay, and Samon Takahashi present five often delirious, lysergic cut-ups of Pierre Clementi soundtracks: from abstracted psych-rock grooves to dynamic electro-acoustic scapes and outre collaging. Mind bending, but with an underlying sense of collected organization

First performed at the CAPC Museum of Contemporary Art in Bordeaux in March 2009, "Soundtracks for the movies of Pierre Clemanti" is an electronic concrete music including many references to psychedelia, kraut, spontaneous sound creation of the 1960s-70s, building an intense dialogue with the specific universe of Pierre Clementi. Even if psychedelia and electroacoustic music seem to have little in common, they got intersected in the work of some advanced artists. On one side electronics entered rock and free jazz, on the other electric guitar and drums have been manipulated by adventurous modern composers. We could take Joseph Byrd, Friendsound, Faust, Supersister or Brainticket as a reference as well as Luc Ferrari, Jacques Lejeune, Bernard Parmegiani or Pierre Henry. A complete list of exchanges and collaborations would be too long to compile

Full-color sleeve, inner sleeve and insert, reproducing some very inspired scenes from the movies of Pierre Clementi."
