Lathe Burin and Laure Boer decided to leave the planet for a while. They transformed themselves into Edition d’art, a creative entity, that likes to write postcards in form of colorful sound miniatures. For their debut album “Auberge des Sapin” they created 14 adventurous snapshots. They are dishonestly honest handsome buzzing little friends, featuring Laure Boer singing and reading old family postcards to manipulated found-sounds, synth-gamelan-textures, Accordion psychedelics, weeping ambient loops, droning guitar feedbacks and metallic blues-folk dreamscapes. Deeply enchanting sculptures beyond the normal rules of melody, harmony, or rhythm. Instead, they explore unmarked sound sceneries derived from obscure sources and other psychic fields of inspiration.
A journey without movement. A trip to foreign places, propelled by the bygone social media of yesterday: the postcard - a personal medium that documented snapshots of the physical and social world of other’s people’s life. Their recitation evokes melancholic mind trips, catered by gloomy grooves and melodies. They all travel far, while staying close. Through them the traveling life of others became Edition d’art, while Edition d’art became the traveling life of others – an attractive manic monument of many spirits, ready to witch whatever needs to be witched. Written memories, converted into transient music while proofing an old wise saying: the future is the worst thing about the present.
