[Philippe-Petit]

Good morning,
hope that you are well
I'm very pleased to let you know that my new album is now available...

PHILIPPE PETIT & friends : silk-screened (Trace Recordings)

http://www.tracerecordings.com/



"Post-Avant Jazz"  soundtrack FOR FANS OF Four Tet – Alice Coltrane -  
Efterklang - Kammerflimmer Kollektief – The Drift - Strings Of  
Consciousness...



"Silk-screened” documents another direction from French artist  
Philippe Petit, whose aim is to always surprise his listeners by  
releasing records which follow each other while not sounding the same.

For now he is taking us in a cinematic world of dense mixtures of  
acoustic instrumentation and digital filtering, swaying and unfolding  
in ways that blend together jazz, modern classical and post rock.

Pursuing a tradition he had started with his "Reciprocess" project,  
given away with The Wire magazine issue 301, Petit is benefiting from  
the talent of many of his friends-musicians without whom nothing could  
be possible and emphasising that according to him music is a  
collaborative affair.

  COLLABORATORS:



Back in the late 70s Graham Massey founded Biting Tongues, one of the  
first No-Wave act on Factory Records. He then became famous for his  
Techno experiments under the 808 State moniker, which led him to  
second Bjork on her first two albums. Graham is still one of the most  
renowned and active musicians in Manchester and works in Homelife and  
Toolshed.



Hervé Vincenti plays a Fender Jazzmaster and Gretsch guitar,  
developing graceful notes and varied melodies. Aside co-founding (w/  
Philippe Petit) Strings Of Consciousness,      Hervé was also a member  
of Foern-Set and had played with Luc Ferrari.



Jérome Paressant is a French musician who started playing Rock and  
then moved on to improv and Jazz territories, founded Abraxas Projekt  
and Downtao



Andy Diagram paints soundscapes with his trumpet. He blends all sorts  
of colourful sounds, and then mixes them in his “echo chambers” along  
with the help of a harmonizer. In the last 20 years Andy's unique  
style has allowed him to join many bands such as Pere Ubu, Dislocation  
Dance, Pale Fountains, James, Honkies, Frank Black (Pixies), and  
permanently Spaceheads, and David Thomas' 2 Pale Boys.



Oldman was created by Charles-Eric Charrier after his years touring  
and producing albums in the duo Man. Oldman has collaborated with many  
artists and musicians including Mathias Delplanque (LENA), Rob  
Mazurek, ABRAXAS PROJEKT, The Clogs... On this recording he is helped  
by Cyril Secq who is also known as Astrid and releases on Arbouse,  
Rémi Bellin and Ronan Benoit.



Bela Emerson is an innovative and prolific performer of electric  
cello, electronics, tenor viol and musical saw, who creates  
passionate, evocative and spontaneous music of no definable genre. As  
well as collaborating widely with other musicians and artists, she has  
four solo releases (vinyl/CD); the latest one, "Hespera" appeared on  
BiP_HOp to great acclaim.



Belgian vibraphonist Els Vandeweyer began her musical career on the  
classical path, focusing on contemporary pieces and her works have  
been documented on various recordings.



Perceval Bellone plays saxophone, clarinet and Tibetan bowls.  He has  
studied electro-acoustic music, been active in improv scenes and  
managed to find a style both very personal and physical. He is an  
active member of Strings Of Consciousness.



Raphaelle Rinaudo plays the harp, combing and messing up her strings  
cautiously knitting melodies that she later distorts by pulling the  
chords. The atmosphere thus carefully woven, cannot but convene the  
repressed temptation of the sirens’ song… Raphaelle also plays in the  
Pierre-Yves Macé ensemble whose albums have been released via Tzadik &  
Sub Rosa + is an active member of Strings Of Consciousness


It's been more than 25 years since Ulrike Haage had started the first  
European women's Jazz Orchester REICHLICH WEIBLICH and since then her  
piano has graced countless recordings.
