Artist History Orchestrated Kaos has been a sparkle in the eyes of Stéphane Labeaume for a few years now. DJ , bass player, audio technician and record producer, many trades he has learned that led him to his first eponymus album. Starting out as a bass player in different bands, he then chose the path of live audio mixing and imposed himself rapidly as a first rate technician. More than 800 live shows followed, from local to international artists such as Anonymus and Reeves Gabrels (guitarist for David Bowie). A sought-after DJ, he performed for more than four years in downtown's hot spots where he developped his own style which can be summed up in one word, Kaos. He is entrusted with the Gothic-Industrial night in an alternative club, an eye-opening trip into the depths of the underground music scene. In 1996, he co-produces Visible Wind's "Narcissus goes to the Moon". Four months of intense work results in a solid record which is very well recieved by critics : the album is distributed in Japan, Europe and in America. The following year marked another album production, this time with Oniro, a project of Jean-François Linteau (sound mixer for Cirque du Soleil, Alegria tour). His aborigine music is exclusively composed of traditionnal instruments from the far corners of the world. As much as Visible Wind was electric and electronic, this one is totally acoustic. The experience of working on a project like Oniro made him want to learn more about music from other cultures. For a year or two he only listened to aborigine music. Musical flavours from other countries astounded him and opened up the already broad palette that make up his musical influences. The sum of all these experiences have given birth to Orchestrated Kaos. The evocative name translates in different musical influences that converge into a musical style that pushes the enveloppe a little further. " Kaos is totally unpredictable; with a name like this I'm giving myself the latitude to be unpredictable musically." Michel Charette; an actor in such films as Les Boys and Hochelaga, contributed musicaly to the project as well. The first single "Contact" is a clear indicator of the overall ambiance of the record. An electronic album with an exotic and sensual flavour that results in Orchestrated Kaos' first effort. To be continued...
