La mer, la bataille, la mort
2005 release ** La mer, la bataille, la mort is Soft Black Star's latest album. Five songs united by a love of literature and cinema. Electroacoustic sounds and field recordings blend into cinematic homages (Aguirre). An early 20th-century vinyl record spins, crackling. Zeno Gabaglio dispenses love with his cello in Moishe & Buddy. Radio waves sinuously flirt with the Farfisa in my living room, with a half-full ashtray on top. The homage to Sokurov in Russian ark, with his inevitable improvisati…
Des Tournages
2008 release ** Originally recorded in 2002 and performed once at l’Oeil de Poisson in Québec City the same year. Fan-CD (mini CD within a transparent full-sized CD), front jewel case is scratched by a microphone 100 times in a circle pattern. Everything revolves around these words: the circle, by the dog. I believe that this word, used by those for whom the earth revolves, is singular: a rigorously extended straight line, plural: an eternally centerless circle which, to advance, turns on itself…

Alan Vega
Alan Vega's self-titled debut solo album was released in 1980 during the same period Suicide released their second album, Suicide: Alan Vega and Martin Rev. While Suicide's label ZE Records was interested in pushing the duo toward a synthetic disco sound inspired by Moroder's production on Donna Summer's "I Feel Love," Vega felt a pull in a different direction. He wanted to dig deeper into the roots of his own sonic identity, fueled by blues, rockabilly, early rock n roll, and his enduring love …
