A project (made by Vincent Bergeron of http://www.mp3.com/Vincent) about musical collage. The idea is to brought together obscure, underground moments of brilliance (and of complete ridicule) of the past in a entertaining new way so that people feel the need to dicover these past times a bit more. All sounds here are non-modified. The collage series is likely to be updated when i get my hands on new hidden treasures of the 60's area in particular!

| Tribute to timeless forgotten psychedelic rock. The 60's is the most important decade in
pop and rock music for the 20th century. This psychedelic collage (late sixties,
some moments of 1960-1965) try to expose underground moments of brilliance that
almost no one have heard. The collage contain 159 samples from 62 sources and
never follows (rarely the samples are played at the same time) more than two samples
from the same source. Intented to be pure fun for me and little interest for the
others, the collage slowly became a musical entity on its own and probably my
biggest realisation. The whole thing start off like garage rock with a cheesy feel,
the vision of the 60's everybody know. I tried to make that part as funny as possible
influenced by Beck "Odeley". After, it evoke sci-fi roots that nobody knows, but
everybody have heard (humor is still up there at start). Slowly, the collage get
into weirdness landscapes, things that were suggested more than heard in the 60's.
Then, it start the rock-opera (yep, remember the Who "Tommy") inspired by the
funniest piece i ever heard (Frank Zappa "Brown Shoes Don't Make It"). The opera
skip music styles every couple of seconds, but always follow the story of two
persons having similar relationship problems (with themselfs and with the others)
that fall in love then recreate the same patterns of autodestruction. This
autodestruction is fully expressed in the following part which highly suggest
that the late 60's explored all arty, experimental rock. The finale is very melodic,
not unlike DJ Shadow moody music who understand the power of the 60's really much!
Now, that description sure sound pretentious, but believe me it's pure entertainment,
fun piece! Enjoy! | MP3.com CD: Collage Series -  buy it!

| Tribute to forgotten 70's music, the progressive rock mostly, but also the punk (and funk ; it's there!). This time i used 99 samples from 48 sources (don't be fool, just as dense as the other collage). The 70's is oddly a decade i never been quiet confortable with. I find really few records from this decade in my music library (which is quiet little, but full of essential stuff). Why making a tribute to a decade i don't appreciate much? Because, you'll find many updated 60's ideas in this decade + plus really important explorations in prog rock. I really never appreciated what reviewers called post-rock (well most of it, the Tortoise variations let's say) because to me it's revival prog rock. So, here, i think i made up something that show that fact. Yet, it's true, old ideas put together on a different way can suddenly sound a whole lot better and much newer! It start off pretty much like King Crimson first records then get a bit moody, then prog rock and more and more experimental...
Ambiant landscapes, tribal music, drum solo's, horror movies music atmosphere, then
cheesy (the lines between really scary and really cheesy music are more thin then we
think) and punk with an experimental side. Enjoy! | MP3.com CD: Collage Series - buy it!
