[microsound-announce] my first solo album is now for sale thru the great Beta Lactam Ring Records

[Philippe-Petit]

hello
hope that this message finds you well
over here pleased to announce that my first solo album is now for sale  
thru the great Beta Lactam Ring Records.
"HENRY: THE IRON MAN" is an hommage to my 2 favourite movies "Tetsuo:  
The Iron Man" (Shinya Tsukamoto) and "Eraserhead" (David Lynch). My  
idea was to soundtrack the grotesque mutation of Henry Spencer into an  
"Iron Man". I decided to manipulate and take advantage of the vinyl  
material to fondle crackles and released noises, to process textures  
and their resonances into vertiginous travellings of sound ; conjuring  
up flashes of disturbing black & white grainy sounds, behind-the- 
scenes close-ups, rapid nightmarish stop-motion effects...
Feel free to come listen to a song in My Space player:

Last month I enjoyed an amazing time in Schiphorst @ Avant-Garde, a  
festival organised by members from Faust.
Rarely had I encountered such a nice family-like atmosphere. There I  
had a great gig in duo with James Johnston. Some shortclips can be  
watched there:

Also had a fine time in Berlin, thanx to good friend Markus Detmer  
from the mighty Staubgold records who organised a gig for me.
Here a souvenir, actually I was joined onstage by Schneider TM, the UK  
band Vultures and Post Abortion Stress from USA.  7 of us onstage...
