French artist The Dead Mauriacs (Olivier Prieur) has been releasing many works based on a collage style. This album is the second release on zappak. "Un Théâtre aux yeux clos / A Theater with closed eyes" is based on a quite minimal collage style. There are some spaces like silence, and subtle electro-acoustic sounds are placed quite carefully. They sometimes whisper and other times roar. In between 45 minutes the curtain falls and rises, you might see a play that you have never experienced before. 

The Dead Mauriacs’ music is a journey into post-industrial landscapes, non-sensical hörspiel, concrete exotica, Ballardian dystopia: a joyful nightmare. It is Olivier Prieur’s art and music project – primarily a solo act, but occasionally a collective with the addition of nice and lovely people such as Susan Matthews, Vincent Domeyne, Thorsten Soltau, Jan Warnke and Michael Esposito.
