about

A few months before the COVID-19 2020 lockdown, I received a CD labelled ‘Valdapozzo 05/30/2004’, from an unknown sender. Thinking it over, it came to me... yes! On that day we had performed a unique gig at Valdapozzo, the location where we had recorded the CD ‘Pic_nic@Valdapozzo’ just two years before.

My first impression had been that of a great performance, though, actually, it sounded like a total mess.

The rules of engagement for this gig were total improvisation based on the audio samples of Demetrio Stratos’ voice and some sequences of the album.

For musicians, and not only for them, two years of lockdown meant the smoke of hundreds of cigarettes blown inside empty pockets.

So, instead of playing Tetris, I resolved to edit the sound of the stereo tracks by fragmenting them into frequency bands, and remixing the whole lot to a new sound.

This is the result, perhaps not a masterpiece, but passionately reworked.
– Paolo Griguolo

No one does music quite like Camille and Xavier do. I see their music as being akin to soundtracks for unfilmed movies. In this instance it is a movie about explorers of mountainous terrain, perhaps the terrain of our lives. Merci pour cette musique si intrigante. :-) sumbuk

all of it good: the whimsy, the drama, the wild, the cosmic; deftly dancing the line between order and chaos, between the sublime and the vile, between the fathomable and the ineffable. puts the listener in a liminal limbo you don't get to be in (and still enjoy!) often. Tim Patterson
