ll the good purposes that we had in our TO DO list for the new coming year expire when it begins . Every day is a new way and the boundaries are there to be broken. Our path twists or simply changes. Even like that, this 2013 we believe even more in the creative potential that is out there. We trust our wish to keep on dreaming and working in something we believe from the first minute. We know that it is not easy, but when you work in what you like, all the efforts are worth it. This 2013, one thing I know for sure is that The Issue Magazine will keep on “hunting” fresh talented people, and updating you from the international events and contemporary scene. We have new changes and surprises for you. It has been one year since The Issue Magazine became something more than a dream. One year ago I was learning Swedish (Jag älskar Sverige) and living in the amazing lovely city of Göteborg. Now I am learning Dutch (lekker) and I am living in a city of bridges (Amsterdam). Just in one year I have won, I have lost. I have laugh and cried until losing my breath. I have met amazing people that have left an impression on me. I have made mistakes and really good decisions. I realized that, after two years living abroad, I have learned to understand languages that I still don´t know and to be in silence in a crowed place but still be there. New projects and new places to visit. Less hours in front of the computer and more in my new bike. I will try to work as hard as possible but as always I will try to do it smiling J Thank you again for believing in us and for following us. We do really believe in you! RAISE YOUR GLASS for each day as a special one. Don´t forget to enjoy the little things that your life gives you, that is the essence of life.

WE LOVE THE ISSUE MAGAZINE

ANTON BUNDENKO Cover by Photographer: Anton Bundenko Model: Ksenia Shirokova @LMA St.Petersburg An engineer who daily works as a shot-firer in different parts of Russia doing a dangerous and severe job of demolishing mountains in order to build tunnels and underground systems but who every night comes back to the job he is heart-bound to do and that will never let him free, plunging into the world of photography and devoting all his free from detonating (work and studies) time to it. Anton lives in Siberia’s rapidly developing city of Novosibirsk but originally comes from Khakassia - the adobe of cold and the motherland of shamans. Life of a fifth year student of Engineering department might not seem to have much difference with other young people living in a big city, who study during the day then rush to a part-time job and hang out with friends in whatever free time is left. But for Anton, it is a rare occasion when his day can be described in a similar way.

MY NAME IS CLAUDE agata serge Agata Serge is a young photographer raised in Poland and living in Amsterdam. Her work is based in her drawing and architecture love while she declare herself a black and white photography person. Our Editor in Chief and Agata have met by coincidence in a shop in Amsterdam and since that they have worked together. Agata is the photographer from the cover on ISSUE#1.

Claude Ferland is a multi-disciplinary musician whose creativity manifests in the oeuvre of My Name Is Claude. At the intersection of minimal classic arrangements and new technological sounds, My Name Is Claude writes and performs hauntingly melancholic songs, that you may recognise as baroque pop. From the time he was a young boy on the outskirts of Montreal, Claude trained professionally as a musician. Inspired by his childhood heroes David Bowie and Kate Bush, he emerged in Montreal’s indie/pop scene in the late 1990s in electro-pop band Sas-31 with his brother. A few years later he conceived the solo new wave/electro project LoveLoveLove, which revealed his penchant for dark glamour and melodic drama. [...] The striking performance contrasted a minimalist, monochromatic visual style with Claude’s extraordinary stage presence: intense, personal, imbued with a black sense of irony, and, above all, poetry. My Name Is Claude has developed into a dynamic and individualised performance artist. The arrangements and live performances have evolved again to involve more musicians as well as electronic devices and digital visuals. [...] His performance focuses on his natural instrument, and Claude’s resonating voice swells to fill the room, juxtaposing his deep and playful lyrics with his fragile physical beauty and elaborate costumes.

“

Being creative is being alive”

Anton Heunis is a prominent jeweller with a BA degree in Fine Arts and a Masters degree in goldsmithing.”.His label is picking up momentum and its jewels are the proof of this.

-TI: To what artistic movement does your style belong to? I think it’s all about eclectic freedom. I don’t like to boxed into a category. I usually do what appeals to my aesthetic sense and my mood at the moment of creating -TI: Has it evolved? Definitely, being creative is being alive, if you don’t evolve you stagnate and stagnation leads to creative death -TI: Which are your favorite gemstone? I don’t have one. I have used stones that I always disliked in ways where they have become my favorite stone. Each material has a place somewhere. -TI: The most curious place where you’ve purchased your materials? Leroy merlin…. -TI: What is your main source of inspiration? B-rate science fiction films of the 60-70s What do you like most: designing or developing jewel? I do not separate the process when I design I sit down and I physically start to make the piece. The whole process is one and the same to me. -TI: A woman you would like to carry your pieces? Juliane Moore What is the key of your success? I think I keep on reinventing myself, every season, I bring out complete new collections. But I think I like to make beautiful objects that make the wearer feel beautiful. -TI: Your most precious jewel? I have two broaches that my great grandfather carved out of bone when he was separated from his wife for 5 years during the first world war. They are simple and naïve, but to me they are truly priceless.

CO|TE a new Italian label which was established by Tomaso Anfossi and Francesco Ferrari. Both are graduates of the prestigious Istituto Marangoni in Milan. Tomaso and Francesco meet whilst jointly involved in several important collaborations, and from this a fast friendship and a foundation for their brand - CO | TE - was born. CO|TE means shelter and protection, a theme the young designers weave into their creations, each of which is designed in Italy and carefully crafted by Italian artisans. Young designers showed their collection at Milan and Paris, also duet was included among the 160 emerging designers by Vogue Talents (September 2010) and had an opportunity to show up at Who is On Next? competition organized by Vogue Italia. The main values for designers are quality of garments, attention for every detail and unique shapes which is easily adjustable in many different ways The designs originate from a non-stop exchange of ideas: the ever present reference is image of a curious woman, who loves to experiment without being ordinary. Gometric shapes are the basis of each single piece and that is why the choice of fabrics is of primary importance,to maintain the desired volume, not only in the design phase of the silhouette but also when the clothes are worn. The final image is created by games of chromatic overlays which express the concept of a new austerity.The collection focuses on the female bade, giving it sensuality, the inspiration comes from geometric shapes and elegance with a sharpness in it. CO|TE is much appreciated by Italian and International Press, its leaders are frequently used for the photo shoots and the best International Blog have said about us.

TI-When COTE was founded how easy was to agree the creative guideline? Did it help that both of you got graduated at Istituto Marangoni in Milan? Since the very beginning we knew that we wanted to create a very defined image representing our idea of fashion. A contemporary look made out of fabrics and materials’ overlapping, a funny and dynamic puzzle capable of making a woman comfortable in her shoes thanks to different combinations of looks according to the situation. Though we gave to our garments a different vision that initial one, our studies have been important to define the beginning of our path as designers: however, we think that the most important teacher is and always will be the direct experience you get only by working in a styling office. TI-How long does it take from the brand´s foundation to the first collection launching in 2011? Everything came out of a shirt deconstructed to be adapted to the female body: once we noticed that our understanding worked on a professional level, we thought to lay the foundations to produce our first SS11 collection, a capsule of 35 pieces representing our image at its best. TI-What do you mean with the term “new austerity”. Is it the “sentence” that best define your brand spirit?

Gugliemo Castelli

Our idea was to create a new austerity, a mix of femininity, sensuality and rigor given by the geometries expressed by our cuts and textures mix. CO|TE’s spirit stands on a incredible attention for geometries, textures and silhouettes tended to valorise a woman’s body. TI-What is the “inspirational key” for the SS13 collection in terms of designing? We have been inspired by our childhood memories: the Shanghai’s graphic, reminding of a classic and worldfamous game, and the Robot’s graphic, a tribute to the anime from the ‘80ies, come from there. It has been path who brought us to discover the childish side of our work. TI-How important is that the production of the fashion pieces is made in Italy? For a brand as young as ours that builds its own image on the quality of “Made in Italy”, it means everything. The Made in Italy is an important tradition

based on professionals in the field, passion-alimented workshops bursting with ardour towards that quality that has always set Italy apart from the rest of the fashion world. TI-COTE was born thanks to the initiative of two guys but when a collection for boys? CO|TE girl is happily single, but who knows, maybe one day a CO|TE boy is gonna come to keep her company. TI-If I am not living in Italy, where can I find COTE garments to buy? At Harvey Nichols in London, My Chameleon, L’Inde le Palais, The queen. But keep an eye on us, we may add other shops to the list. TI-A little tip from COTE for the upcoming AW13 season? You have to challenge this difficult moment by creating a collection able to make people dream and capable of causing a smile on the face of those watching it.

abela Tobar

My name is Sabela Tobar, I recently graduated from ArtEZ Institute of the Arts, in The Netherlands. I finished my master last September with a collection named Waltzing Lights, inspired in the jellyfish’s life cycle. I have always been fascinated by the jellyfish but it wasn’t until I discovered the book Arts Forms of Nature, from German philosopher and illustrator Ernst Haeckel, that I decided that I would use them as inspiration for my graduation collection. This book was influential in the XX century art and design, bridging the gap between science and art, and of course it also influenced me to develop my project. Haeckel’s drawings show in detail the complexity and beauty of the jellyfish: soft, delicate, transparent, colourful, smooth, round.... While showing elegance in their oceanic dance, looking beautiful and weak, jellyfish hide a darker, more sinister side within them and somehow I really loved the idea of translating this into clothing. Not only that I would use them as a metaphor for my collection, but also as guide for my outline. Not many people are aware that jellyfishes have a similar life cycle to that of the butterfly, where they are born from a little polyp and they developed into how we know them. It is probably this what I found the most interesting about them and the reason why I wanted to create an evolving collection, where the clothes somehow could show a growing process, a stage of change. It was like being a teenager and becoming an adult. So many things happen, and you go through different states, where you kind of behave in a very awkward way and then, finally you find a place for yourself. I must say that nature has always influenced my work. Nevertheless, I don’t deliberately look for inspiration in nature but it just happens. Probably it has something to do with my origins, which determine my personality and also the way I design. I was born in Galicia, in the North-West coast of Spain. For Galician people the sea has always played an important role in their lives. When I was a kid I used to spend the whole summer by the

sea and I grew up with that image where the ocean was part of my life. No matter where I move I will always have a part of this in me. So at the end it is not only about nature but about my own personality. We are constantly moving, looking for a change to never be standing still. My idea was always to create an evolving collection and show this metamorphosis represented in my clothes. In this term of evolution there is always a beginning, with the freshness of a discovery. Textures and materials are essential in my work. Especially in this collection that is so sensitive and emotional I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss a bit of that feeling of being surprised and intrigued by what would come next. The jellyfish is like a refine glass, it looks so delicate, so clean so harmless but it could brake and mess things up. Carrying beauty and poison is human attraction. I wanted it to get the right feeling, an organic feeling. Materials with extra value would help to show all different sides of being soft and delicate but also rough and hard. I was looking for a combination of transparency and fabrics with powerful colours in order to create this strong contrast, but after all it had to be refined, and natural: something pure. Adding fur that I dyed in bright colours, leather and synthetic long hair, help to create the contrast that I was looking for. Something luxurious mixed with fake and plastic elements gave the right tension. After graduating I felt exhausted and I needed some time off to think about what just happened. It was a twoyear master and sometimes you feel pretty tired, because we were just four people in my class and you basically work all the time by yourself so you ended up wanting to go on holidays and take a rest. That was exactly what I did, I went back to Spain and after the summer I started applying for an internship in different High Luxury Fashion Houses. Now I live in New York and soon I will start working for one of my favourite Fashion brands. I feel very lucky that I was always allowed to follow my dreams,. Right now I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to think about what comes next. I rather enjoy this very special moment and whatever happens next I am sure it will be great.

Powerful 21st Century Woman Sarah Angold based in London is known for her architectural stule, “I love the collision of hypermodernity with artisanal craftsmanship. Our customers come to us for jewellery that is authentic yet unmistakeably now”. Her latest futuristic forms take inspiration from the bold contours of gothic armour. She is always reinventing herself with sculptural creations as always vanguard and contemporary. Each collection is a challenge for her and her team, not only for the design part, but also because

Anglod and her team continue to blend digital industrial processes with materials and meticulous hand assembly more characteristic of a watchmaker´s craft. Anglod describes her customers as: “strong and confident, know their own minds and seek jewellery to accentuate and complement their spirit, not mask or distract from it. They, like the jewellery they wear, are unmissible.”

-TI: How did come up the idea about The House of Maryanne Vintage? I always loved shopping for myself and loved beautiful fabrics, expensive cuts and designer pieces. I could never afford to shop in the retail shops that i liked when i was a teenager. I could afford to thrift and i found that i was able to recreate current looks using second hand pieces. I found that i could afford beautiful pieces that were lovingly made and cared for. A coat that would cost me $300 in a new shop, i could find for $10! You just had to have commitment and a desire to hunt and forage. In the end i had so many beautiful pieces, that i could no longer fit them in my cupboard and many were not even getting to see the light of day. I wanted these pieces to be loved and given more attention and so i decided to pass them on to a new owner who would cherish them. This is how House of Maryanne came about. -TI: What kind of vintage pieces can Maryanne offer me? We stock pieces of history. We search for lovely fabrics, beautiful prints and interesting details. We love a piece that tells a story. We lean towards a more refined silhouette than the current cut-off shorts and mid-riff tops that are available in shops today. -TI: How do you manage to get supplied all that prodigious amount of vintage clothing? We have buyers across the globe - San Francisco, Southern California New York, Japan, Berlin, London and Thailand. We also take monthly road-trips across Australia, searching for treasure.

-TI: What is the “fashion piece” most demanded between your customers? Dresses are always a good piece. A whole outfit in one. So easy to style with just a belt, shoes and a bag. -TI: In order to help new entrepreneurs... how to generate such a buzz to be widely followed? I have been in the business for over 10 years and have built my business slowly. I think it is importans to develop a good relationship with your customers, be honest and stock high quality merchandise. If you have a good business ethic and behave in an honourable manner, then you will get repeat customers who are happy to tell their friends about you and your business. -TI: Getting your opinion... We know that at the moment Vintage is “trendy” but how long it can be perpetuated regarding the future fashion market? Fashion is always borrowing from the past. Just like music and movies. Quality will never go out of fashion and so as long as you choose well made pieces, then I dont see Vintage Fashion becoming irrelevant. -TI: Do you get orders from abroad? Yes we do. Unfortunately, The Australian dollar is so string at the moment,that most of our orders have been from Australia. -TI: An essential vintage piece to have into the wardrobe An incredible coat, a beautiful boot and an evening dress that makes you want to dance.

NTON BUNDENKO

A few times a year he leaves Novosibirsk to undertake a dangerous and severe job as a shotfirer and a crew captain who builds tunnels and undeground railway systems in different parts of Russia, from burning South to freezing North.Â The common idea ties him with his most outstanding and talented friends from different parts of Russia and former Soviet Union Republics, who are finding their ways in constantly absorbing the reality and coverting it into a current ready-made creative media product. They share and persue one goal - to leave behind a lot of worthwhile and not to lose the genuine meaning which they imbed in thier work capturing the spirit of days, the essence of times and epochs, which they believe is the main mission of a photographer

he project is presented with a series of conceptual collages encrypted messages in them. Each collage has its numerical and letter combination. The numbers will always appear in the papers and select such a combination. If you type in which internet search engine will open a list of links to articles and facts disclosed certain topic question. Here is an example of cobinations- 235U.1945 (enriched Uranium 235 and the positive test in 1945 that led to the assembly of two warheads, death and ÂŤhellÂť in Hiroshima and Nagasaki); WORLD3 (software model of the period create a program(1970), confirming their at present time(2000) and the consequences for the planet in the future). According to the results - all work will be prepared by and applied to a with a description and encrypted messages. Over work the combinations are marked. biological materials (moss, crystals) and other means.

235U1945 Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear device. This test was conducted by the United States Army on July 16, 1945, in New Mexico. The date of the test is usually considered to be the beginning of the Atomic Age. The use of weapon of mass destruction and the anxiety we live in. This was also the time when uranium 235 was explored, and it was not very long after, when the Little Boy atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 8 1945 respectively.

WORLD_3 In 1970 scientists in Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, developed the World3 model - computer simulation of interactions between population, industrial growth, food production and limits of the Earth. According to extensive scenario, if we continue to consume as much as we do now, by 2030 the world would face an immense economical collapse. Population would decrease, there would be not enough food or clean water. We could probably ignore such an old predictions, but Australian scientist Graham Turner has proved that all the time starting from 1970 ad up to now we have followed the worst scenario.

DON’T BRING WAR TO YOURSELF Don’t bring war to yourself. Don’t burn yourself out. It’s the century of horror, riots, when the world is going odd. Destroying yourself from within by being jealous, hateful, scared.

ART FOR CONSUMPTION Questionable morals, material wealth. Art for consumption ignoring deepness and true values. Superficial. It’s the route to the emptiness. QR cods making the big cross and bringing massages to the audience.

DON’T BE BLIND TO FOLLOW YOUR INSTINCTS Don’t be blind to follow your instincts. Try to clarify your view, to open your eyes. Feel by heart.

ART DIRECTION / ARNAUD IBANEZ

111

-TI: Arnaud is... First of all? The name that my mom & dad gave me 25 years ago. Birth anxious and messed-up in my state of nature, I’m strangely the opposite when we’re talking about my job. I learnt pretty well how to get some headache questioning everything, on every fucking and nondescript detail that maybe another person couldn’t see in some way... I litterally eat up all that BD from Picsou & Donald, yeah still with 25 years old, I can’t distinguish 3D and I definitely don’t know how to draw. I’ve been searching for long my own passions, my hobbies and I suddenly decided to close the discussion: this is th TV. I don’t know, it sounds like ridiculous but this is for sure my passion. And I think that’s the reason I started to work soon with my passions about publicity. I feel lucky to be part of that young people who do know with determination, what he wants to do in his life. So like you might understood, since I was a kid I’ve been stucking in front of my TV and I like to watch everything. And I’m not telling this in order to look precisely like an intellectual, because I watch everything and frequently not the best...In the 90’s I watch such bad TV series but that I still adore! (Code quantum, Demain à la Une, L’Agence tout Risque…), so poor programs that make me laugh a lot (Dont forget your toothbrush with Naguy…), some cartoons, (the end of Dorothé, les Minikeums) and so much more. With 8 years old , I almost recite all the ads (Les Orangina de Chabat, Les singes d’Omo, le tabouret qui tremble tout seul pour Préparation H, un truc pour les hemorroides...) then, as a lot of people from my generation, I soon discover Culture Pub. Here is when I suddenly focus my attention on the importance of making that kind of short video clips as a real job. I started to look for some studies related to that world and I move to a boarding school of Applied Art at 15. Oh man, that’s my thing. I carry on doing a ‘BTS Communication Visuelle at Nevers (FR) and about my 20 I move to Paris with an internship and since 4 years ago I am, the Art Director at Bddp & Fils. -TI: Arnaud & Aurélien is... The work we instaured with Aurélien since 3 years ago is as a creative team. Usually for advertisment, the creatives work as a duo. To sum up, one deals with the words, the concept to make sense (Aurélien, Concepteur Rédacteur), the other one takes care of what you’re going to give as a visual and interactive reception. (Photo, film, Layout…

As a team, we’re used to be compared as a couple and I think it fits exactly on that image of people who have been a time together. To look for an idea, create an exchange, to set out your arguments, give it up, to product, all that stuff is about being together as a team. -TI: cri de guerre: Tiguidiguidi (hmm ok let’s say that is not exactly the best thing ever to write, plus, you have to make some movement at the same time, it gives some more emphasis! haha (something we do when we’re happy) -TI: Artistic direction in your opinion is... This is the image setting tha we want to transmit. And that’s what I like. It sounds ridiculous but it’s something super interesting. I actually could tell you about this during hours! Even if I feel less confortable with words than the image. In Nevers, with the BTS (à L’école supérieur des Arts appliqué de Bourgogne, aka ESAAB) I awoke about all that interest. Art direction is a language. When you give something to see (in Ad but also in the life, it’s all about the way you have to wear, to make-up, to choose your sunglasses, how to make a good installation and shop front...) communicates something, let some message passing through our consciousness. In ad the idea is to communicate to the most of people or to give it on the dot, on the target. So that’s why we have to control all the elements into that language which is perfectly perceptible by everyone. It’s the same as when you have to be understanding and you don’t want to use any dialect. You just have to adapt the way you choose to be in contact with. This, is my work but visually talking. -TI: BDDP is... The agence where ‘I bornt’. I started with an internship and spending all my energy I reached some attention from them and they contracted me. It’s a real good place to begin because you can find some family structure where it’s ok if you ask for some help from the most experienced. First of all I was the assistant. Sometimes some peolple think it’s better to start as a team but personally my experience was pretty usefull. Thus, you have time to learn and assimilate the advices. At BDDP&Fils I’m working together with Aurélien about a lot of stuffs. We don’t have our own budget so we can basically do whatever we want. Every theme/ budget let us try different sides and aspects of the job (the conception and production) We’ve been working for: l’Office national marocain du tourisme (l’ONMT,we did this lately: http://www.youtube.com/user/visitmorocco/moresummer), about l’Association des Paralysé de France (APF), la Fondation Abbé Pierre, la Caisse d’Epargne, Arte (the cultural franco-german channel)... -TI: Short text form an Art Director: “Life is short, play more” Xbox. -TI: an explosion...

interior, I get upset sometimes in my own sphere, talking under my breath. It’s really hard to me to act out. My Jiminy Cricket takes me to the reason, wrongly sometimes. a limit...

extreme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzGbJX6Xnd4) sorry... -TI: Your upcoming projects & expectations...

It’s always about progress, with more work and maybe to continue in some other country one day. But yeah it’s easier to say! As far as even if the titled is the same, the job is perceptibly different out of the borders I think. If I had to tell you my dream, it could be South America, Argentina, but to be sincere I don’t have that balls and the adequate experience either for the moment. I have also that big desire developping some stuffs, alone or with some firends.

Today, we are going to meet Marie, member of Roller Derby Lyon aka « The Grrriottes Girrrls ». She tells us the Roller Derby story with some derby girl anecdotes… Tie up your roller quad, slip on your most beautiful short and your fishnet stockings : go on the track ! The Roller Derby, much more a sport : a concept The Roller Derby (formerly ‘Roller Catch’), came in 1925 in Chicago (USA), was first of all an endurance race on track. A contact sport, exclusively reserved to women, which became later in the 50s a real american show. The Roller Derby was not a controled sport until 2000. Little by little, the Roller Derby release to the international. Influenced by the DIY movement (Do It Yourself), a new circle of punk influence (3rd feminist wave), but also by the rockabilly/ punk/ pin-up fashion and the thrillers movies’ world, the Roller Derby succed in establish itself as a true concept : more than a simple sport, the underground glam rock spirit. A woman claimed sport physical and aesthetic at a time. The girl power on casters implies a confident personnality, a show on the track and particular codes… The Roller Derby came in France in 2009 and introduce itself first in Paris, Bordeaux and Toulouse. Other big and median cities follow this growing phenomenon, get today near to sixty clubs all over France. A controled sport To form an authentic Roller Derby team, you should have : roller quad knee pad, elbow pad, wrist pad (obligatory), a nice roller skating helmet and a cute mouth piece 4 players with 1 jammer A customized wardrobe : hot-short, legging, fishnet stockings, tights, flashy colours or not, caps and badges, some accessories… The ingredients are ready : mix them and go to the track ! The Roller Derby looks like a simple formula, seemingly, but the rules are pretty complicated… A match last 1 hour with two halftime. The game play consists of a series of short mashups called « jams » (2 minutes) whiches follow on 30 seconds. Two teams composed by 5 players (1 jammer or attacker and 4 fielders) confront one another on the track. The teams attempt to assist their own jammer while hindering the opposing jammer. And on the derby girl side we are not kidding : one major fault and the prison wait for you for a min !

The Roller Derby Lyon Usually named as « Grrriottes Girrrls », the Roller Derby Lyon came in 2011. Wearing red, black and silver colours, the team from Lyon is growing up from year to year and in 2012, it becomes two oficial groups composed by about twenty derby girls : the fresh meat recently meet, and the advanced players. The derby girls are from diferent univers but the idea of unity is clearly there for the girls. A very nice meeting for The Issue Magazine !

The archetypal derby girl The Cannibal Marmots, The Death Bitches, The Zombitches, The Velvet Sluts or The Little Death : so many nice nicknames to call her Roller Derby team. A sport which remove all prejudices and preconceived notions about women and their ability to put this project in place, and in a completely independent way. A kind of pride claimed and that we could not put off them. The vast Roller Derby strength is about to apply tolerance to the players : all body type accepted. She does not care the look of people, something stronger unite them. The team spirit, desires and common targets, an incontestable wish to stand out from her feminity and her sporting spirit. The derby girl express herself throught the art of skate with eight casters but also throught dresscodes. Getting a tatoo or not, she creates her own glam trash character and she chooses her show nickname. Pony Stark, Super Matozoïde, Royal Coccyx, Karla Shnikov or Mary Poppers draw their inspiration from the underground glam rock, a free trend. This character allow her to get and feel free on the rink, dressing up free and revealing their feminity, without vulgarity. Customized clothes, like what all girls want. The choice of the colours, the accessories and the make up process into a true ritual before the matches and the trainings. The rock universe with power : stars, death’s heads, roses : all the symbols can be used to disturb the opposing team ! When I talk about the derby girl spirit with Marie, she claims that the Derby time is to be free. « When you are on the track your are like a warrior. You know you can do it, to spare you this freedom. The make up ritual before the matches is important too : it is an integral part of a surrounding where you can allow to draw you a flash on your face and to blow up a gold paint spray on your roller quad or also dress up red tights if you want to ». The music broadcasted during the trainings and the matches is also essential : the archetype of the rock universe. As well as they customize their skate helmet, their roller quad and their clothes, the derby girl is also a fighter, whatever her level. The team spirit, like all the sport team, is essential. Do not show our weakness but to claim a total involvement. Stability, strength, endurance, agility and walkover are the main qualities you must have on the track. Physical capacities that they develop with bodybuilding and cardio-vascular exercises and also with a lot of activities and training exercises off skate. Today, the growing popularity of roller skating is extended itself all around France and all around the world. The movie Bliss, get out in 2010, emphasized this sport and participated to its growth and to the new leagues creation. Contact sport, between skate helmets and make up, state-of-the-girl-power… So just a little advice for you, girls : don’t sell off your 90’s quads yet, the glide time is com’in ! (> Wink : The Grrriottes Girrrls are looking for gymnasium or any other place for their training exercises and thier matches in Lyon. You’ve been warned !)  // Join the Grrriottes Girrrls team on her website : http://rollerderbylyon.fr/wp/ On Facebook : Roller Derby Lyon Grriottes Girrls 117

Marielsa Niels was born in 1986 in France. After four years of photographic studies, she moved and started as a freelance author/ photographer in 2007. She heads her work towards the studio, starting off with a series of “silent types”. This is based on object’s derisory and insignificant details that she seeks to create spaces for quiet thought and imagination, far from the rustling visual today. During 2005, the work “Page not wise” get the special merit from the Jury in Niamey, Niger in the Fifth Francophone Games. The series will be presented in Clermont-Ferrand and Paris, France, at the French Cultural Centre in Turin, Italy, at the Museum of Salford, England, at the international festival “Encontros da imagem” Braga in Portugal, then to the center “Umbrella Art” of Granville Island in Vancouver, Canada. Since 2006 her work also finds its way into the portrait and staging. In 2009, she tends to portrait reportage. At Katowice, Poland, some new series was born, about the miners. Later, in Lebanon, Beirut, she travels to meet the inhabitants and their cultural differences. She will get the silver medal at the sixth Francophone Games in Beirut in 2009, with the serie of “working memory: a time traveler”.

Her work is more oriented to the human, from stagings to the discovery of the body: 2012, allows her to complete a project of staged comedy or irony, about the place of women in society: “Cinderella throws in the towel.” Early 2013, the work “À Fleur de Corps” was born. In April 2013, the series: “A couple Franco-German: one year, a life.” will take its end. It’s carried out over a year: twelve months, twelve photographs...

-TI: Petra Garmon are...? We are 5 partners/friends that set up projects for customers. Five friends that enjoy work together. Enthusiast, creativeness, initiative, illusion, seriousness…5 friends who want to move forward and above all, don´t lose the friendship between us. -TI: Define us Petra Garmon? Petra Garmon it was the name of Franck and Martin Scorsese´s babysitter, we found that in an incunabula from a Jewish ghetto book shop in New York. She looked after Martin, an unhealthy boy up to 10 years old. She opened cinema industry doors to him. She knew how to be in the right place at the right time, picking up always Martin to the cinema. We want to be in right places at right times. Petra Garmon is born with the idea of approaching brands to consumers through entertainment. A Creative Producer. We like listening to and to be listened, we always have something to say. Apart from imagining and stamping our ideas and our customer´s ideas in images, we want to give them a unique and personal tone. Petra Garmon is an experience by itself. -TI: Your trajectory cinema+advertising+documentary+dj+photogr aphy+design+events+creativeness -TI: First project. The last one. First: Mad: Dior Bcn: Gat Hotels Last: Mad: Marques de Murrieta Bcn: Volkswagen -TI: How do you choose your clients? Or are they the ones who make you the proposal? When we choose customers to offer them content and realization creative proposals, we look for brands, agencies or akin environments to Petra, it´s always easier to think in your tastes and affinities. When somebody else choose us I guess that somehow the process is the same but in the opposite direction. At the end of the day the important thing is to be able “to do” in both directions.

When you work for an agency the idea somehow is already made and our role is to enrich it. When you work for agencies you look for keeping on moving. -TI: In your opinion, what’s a contemporary and audiovisual project? A contemporary audiovisual Project is a project that remains on our own imaginary and seduce us even nowadays. -TI : How could it be absolutely perfect? Perfection doesn´t exist and who believes that lives in a deception. -TI: One of your ideas was to take a nickname. In our daily brainstorming we always relate our ideas with nicknames, gadgets, characters, situations, anything, action or place that helps to imaginary. For instance, the name of the Producer. -TI: Give us your own definition of: Ridiculous: It doesn´t exist on our vocabulary. Everyone is what he does and everyone does what he can do. Meanwhile you are confident about what are you doing why ridiculousness. Although… maybe Marc, one of the partners, touches ridiculousness. Elegance: Good taste. Symmetry. Measure. Proportion. Kanon. Clean. Static. -TI: If you guys are ones of the lasts specimens on earth, what would be your favorite desire?

Pre-feminist lore often boiled down to a simple slogan: men are wolves and women are bunnies / men are predators and women are prey. But a countervailing reality is that some women can be eager to be consumed and some men can be ambivalent about attacking. Such confusions among sexual personna and sexual motivations inspire fashion imagery in which women are stylized and posed as alluringly but non-threatening as possible...like a bunny that roasts and garnishes itself and then climbs into a lazy wolf’s mouth. And the ramifications of images like these are the source of much feminist scholarship, as well as feminist art. As Catharine MacKinnon and Andrea Dworkin said in “Pornography and Civil Rights,” the image of the Playboy Bunny was an essential tool of women’s subjugation. “The use of women as objects in Playboy is part of how Playboy helps to create second-class status for women,” the feminist icons wrote. “Women in Playboy are dehumanized by being used as sexual objects and commodities, their bodies fetishized and sold. The term ‘bunny’ is used to characterize the woman as less than human little animals that want sex all the time, animals that are kept in hutches.” Belgian artist Nathalie Pirotte’s lovely watercolor paintings tell a different story. Her beautiful pin-ups exemplify the strange and enticing imagery of vintage soft-core pornography and fashion photography by melding slinky, lingerie-clad or girly-dressed women’s bodies with animal heads. An artist in her forties, Pirotte has witnessed the deconstruction and re-configuration of traditional feminine and sexual imagery in mass media. Today, girls appropriate Playboy Bunny insignia with little intellectual investment or only a thin level of irony. Yet the images in today’s Playboy and other soft-core magazines are often saturated with self-consciousness and cloaked in ironic posturing.

144

The images that Pirotte appropriates or references are different. Whether it is genuinely old or just anachronistic, the styling and look of her source material is straight from an era when sexual roles were carefully prescribed. To make that point, Pirotte paints a girl in a pretty, full-skirted strapless pink dress and very a la mode yellow-shoes - both clearly contemporary - while the face that she shyly turns away from the viewer is that of a gentle gray mare. In her 2006 painting “Lionne,” Pirotte implants a wild cat’s head into a lush Betty Page-style pin-up in a Bavarian-style corset pulling a ribbon. While the feral beast would seem to be an even match for any randy man, a wild cat still wouldn’t measure up against a skilled hunter. Thus, the gorgeous creature is not a competitor, but a challenge to the male viewer. And the bunnies that Pirotte paints have sweet, pretty faces to match the charming outfits and soft, lithe bodies of her female models. Represented with Pirotte’s exquisite technical skill, these mythic creatures are not really subjugated. Think of them as unthreatening animals with very effective human bodies. Think of them as stunning familiars for randy girls willfully playing grown-up cat and mouse games. To see more of Nathalie Pirotte’s work registered on Saatchi Online click here.

2 / MY NAME IS CLAUDE

Thanks to: My Name Is Claude- Claude Ferland Milewski/ Jessica R Brown-Manager

e felt in love with a pearl some years ago, in a show in Paris and we recently met his amazing manager Jessica! We really want to introduce and share with you this fabulous artist and musician....My Name Is Claude! -TI: Who is My Name Is Claude? My Name is Claude is the musical project of Claude Ferland Milewski, based in Berlin. -TI: Why did you choose that way to show a part of your personality? Music has always been in my life, I play music since I was 6 years old. I think I did not really choose this “way” but it revealed itself through my artistic process. I never create by following a trend or something like this. My art completely follows my inner needs and thoughts. -TI: You’re not just a musician. How could you define the important tension between all the artistic fields in which you are involved? Each discipline I practice is connected to a different thing I need to express. If, I may say, there is a thread, a kind of “main topic” I am following, every form of art will act a little bit like a sort of “chapter” in the big story. All forms of art are also connected to different inner needs and attitude. For example, music has something more extraverted than writing. -TI: Music as a tool or as an essence? Music as a tool, definitively. - TI: Do you make a dichotomy between you as a person and you as a creative soul? Not really, art and life are really connected in my case. If there is a slight difference between me everyday and me on stage, it will only be due to the conditions of presentations themselves. When I am on a stage I am strangely, extremely isolated. I publicly enter a bubble. I expose my being into something extremely private to the audience. It’s sometimes very disturbing for me and I often need quite a bit of time after the show to be able to confront the outside world, as if, like in a dream, I suddenly feel shy of being the only one naked in the room! -TI: An animal to fit to My Name is Claude: There are many. Elephant, swan, cat. I am an animal person, I love them all!

-TI: From where does your inspiration come? Some references? My inspiration comes from everyday life, music itself, literature and philosophy. My favorite writers are Albert Camus and Cioran. -TI: Is it better to grow as a solitary entity? Not necessarily. On one hand I am very solitary, but on the other hand, simultaneously, very ‘social’ and connected to the outside world -TI: How did you get in contact with your lovely manager Jessica R Brown?

154

We met in Berlin a few years ago and Jessica came to one of my concerts. I will always remember that she came to me after in a very emotional state of being, look at me in the eyes and told me: “you are one of us”. She was refering to an abstract group, of course. People are very often surprise by the intensity of my concerts. Because of the ‘fashion’ aspect they expect something funny, loud, or very trendy. They suddenly enter a world of intimacy that connect them to their own intimacy, their own private world and history. We are a big family in the room when I play! -TI: You feel alive when... I feel alive when I create. Totally. If I am not in a creation process I feel utterly depressed and dead. Art keeps me alive, and even though I enter melancholic or sad topics it makes me completely happy. -TI: Favorite season Guess…? Fall, of course! -TI: A symbol The swan. It has always been. When I was a child I was very different to the other children, I was completely in my world and I suffered a lot from this. I felt Alien. I was looking at swans and hoping that I was like them. You know, the young swans are also so different and then they become beautiful. That hope kept me alive. -TI: Tell us the story of ‘Camille voit la neige’ and ‘Roads’ Camille voit la neige is a song inspired by a friend of mine who gets really sad when she sees snow. To see her being suddenly so fragile always touched me a lot because she is generally such a happy soul. Roads is a journey. A journey in an abstract world but also a journey in my own life. “In the branches of the tree, over there in the black forest. No desert no loneliness, all voices, all roads.” It’s a poem I wrote on a sad day. I felt that even though I was going through certain emotions, I could still see lights and paths.

-TI: Delicacy: pure crystal cut like a snow flake. Strength: the state of being like a mountain Harmony: sitting in a circle full of colours making sounds on golden tubular pieces Delight: an inner smile that tickle the upper part of your cheek -TI: The beauty you found in Baudelaire, is it an Ideal of Melancholy? My favorite verse of Baudelaire is one where it says: “You gave me your mud, and I made gold out so it”. This contains, I think, his whole work and why I love it. -TI: The key for the audience to fall in love with or to be caught up by My Name is Claude? Silence. Shh… Shhh… Shhhh… Close your eyes. -TI: Last thought? I would totally be in the mood for a bottle of champagne!

-TI: Upcoming projects I am working on my next album and series of concerts and writing a book.

2 / SASCHIENNE

LP case

Text: Hannah Alcalay. Loreto Riveiro Litterate Soluciones Lingüisticas. Photography: Marco Dos Santos. Thanks to: Saschienne- Sascha Funke, Julienne Dessagne. Ed’n Legs. October 20 on the evening “Mauvais Genre 007”. Lyon, a night organized by the association Ed’n Legs with this line-up: Marc Houle (Items & Things / Berlin - DE) Sascha Funke (Kompakt / Berlin - DE) Saschienne (Kompakt / Berlin - DE) and Outbak (Ed’n Legs / Lyon - FR). The Issue Magazine is here to meet Saschienne, the young Franco-Berliner duo. A real heart-stopper for Sascha Funke, German DJ and producer minimal techno, and his wife, Julienne Dessagne. An incredible fusion stage (Sascha + Julienne= Saschienne) as we use to like: a qualitative and captivating music, in a word a subtle and relevant live. I am greeted by Julienne in the backstage (Sascha was just starting his DJ set): a beautiful and unique meeting was appearing.. -TI: How would you define your music? If we had to categorize, what would it be? Especially not categorizing it. We’re just glad to have found a path which does not have to belong to a genre. We have lots of different influences and we like not being part of a category. In addition, live performance is quite different from the album so it’s impossible to classify, although of course it’s attached to the family of electronic music. -TI: What were your influences for the Saschienne project?

A lot of things that we have heard in our lives. Sascha and I have quite different tastes and that feeds our productions in many ways. We are both into electronic music. I also heard lot of contemporary music (like Glass, Sclavis...) and classical music as well. At the time, I wasn’t thinking of composing and playing, but it kind of added some layers of influences in my head somehow which come up from now and then. And a big influence came from my first hours of clubbing in Glasgow at Sub Club with Optimo DJs. They precisely go in all directions and combine many genres in one incredibly subtle or twisted set. So it constantly pushed the boundaries in my head and helped me drawing links between things coming

158

from different music genres, different generations, etc. That’s how I like to understand music, like an onion with plenty of layers and getting to the heart of it makes you cry!! -TI: So, Julienne, you come from a rather classical training? Yes, but clubbing and listening to music had at least as much influence on the way I compose my music now. -TI: Did you get a clicking/trigger at one of these parties, or a story that has marked you? It’s all those parties in Glasgow. Not one in particular. It’s precisely the fact that these guys have succeeded in organising parties every Sunday evening which people rushed to attend. It changed your Sunday evening and all your week because you were looking forward to Sunday, while I had never really looked forward to a Sunday before, I found it a bit depressing! My first evening there was on a Halloween, a first experience for me, quite claustrophobic also, because ‘Sub Club’ is a space that has a very low ceiling with the same sound system that Fabric (London). Optimo nights were not so much about the name, fame or DJ superstar behind the decks, it was just all about the music. Truly simple and yet so special. -TI: Is this project, Saschienne, your first scene? It is in music. I had come up on stage before, as a dancer. I was in a company of young semi-professional dancers. But that is completely different. -TI: Les nuits sonores (May 2012) was your first official date in France: does your coming back in Lyon, the city where you studied, give you some special feeling? Yes, it was our first time in France and third overall. It obviously makes me happy to return to Lyon, although I’m from Saint-Etienne (laughs)! Les Nuits Sonores was great for us to participate in, but the live was really just beginning. As our album was rather quiet and not cluboriented, our biggest challenge was to adapt it to the scene. We keep a great memory, but as far as the quality of the set is concerned, we were not ready at all.

Marco Dos Santos

159

We had to adapt to different formats: tiny clubs, big festivals, daytime, night time, etc. So it took us about a month to really get the live rolling like it does now. It grew up organically with the experience.

-TI: The project album was made during a stay in Bourgogne: your title “Grand Cru” Is it a small / big wink to the region? Oh, yes, a huge wink! ‘Grand Cru’, because of the region of Burgundy (Bourgogne), because of the wine. Grand Cru was one of the first tracks we produced together, and we enjoyed producing it like we enjoy drinking a grand cru wine! On the 11th march, we’ll release a Grand Cru single including our live version of the track and a fantastic remix from the Pachanga Boys. -TI: A question for Sascha: this project is defined as a second wind as compared to what he had previously done solo, a new stage: was he afraid of the “unknown” that we hear so often, the fear of embarking on a project together? Him? Not at all. Besides, it is me who is afraid, not him at all. It’s in his character, he does not worry about tomorrow. Instead, he jumped on the project while the project was not yet a project and it’s rather him, who threw himself into the idea of making an album. I just started making music for fun and didn’t put things into bigger perspectives but his motivation to make it an album really drove the project. It’s this dynamic flowing into the void that has finally driven us. It had the advantage of being instinctive. In hindsight, this is an album that has a lot of imperfections, but very sincere, and it came in one piece, very spontaneous and naively. It clearly reflected the spirit in which he was: starting something new. I am more reflective and he really knew how to seize the moment. I think Sascha was just excited to start something from scratch, to have another pair of ears and hands to produce and explore different paths as he used to before.” -TI: You, him, both of you, how do you feel when you’re playing live: is there a merger, this complicitythat we feel, and that famous occurence “we know that you are in love and it’s something that we can observe as listeners”? Yes, we were the first ones surprised. This palpable complicity is what has brought us to the obvious: we wanted to do this project. Without speaking, we immediately had a spontaneity in the studio, it was pretty amazing. And even if it comes from different musical backgrounds, it works pretty well. There are our tastes, what is in our head, and then there’s the moment when we play. We are curious about the idea of the other. And the live is the same, spontaneous between us. -TI: What was difficult in the preparation and process of a live? It was a very difficult process, adjusting some of the album tracks to a club format, adding new material, trying to set up a coherent mood throughout it all. To be honest it hasn’t been the funniest part of our studio work!

-TI: That sort of electro duo is quite original and unique: is it a kind of new concept for you, or a new trend to be developed? We never had a concept in mind and we still don’t. Especially not a concept based on the fact that we are a couple! This kind of things belong to marketing amd not to music, at least not the way we see music. I sometimes wish that no one knew we are a couple, the category “romantic techno” is boring us to tears. We just want to tell a story in a certain moment, that’s all. I hope our live performance proves that point.

-TI: If you had an object, a thought or a sentence which could correspond to the draft Saschienne? For once, I will quote Sascha, it’s what he tells me all the time “music is what you make out of it” I like to see things like this, it is true at all levels, I think. A quote from East Berlin (laughs). -TI: Do you have a fully unlikely question to address your audience and readers of The Issue Magazine? Yes, a very existential question: does it happen to you to have a bad hair day?! It’s a recurrent question between me and my friend Rebolledo, since we seem to be unlucky enough to have a bad hair day at the weekend when we wish to look great and have a great Monday hair when we do nothing but lying in bed. It’s a cruel life, isn’t it? (laughs) [-TI –So, we end our interview with this existential question which many people (even if they do not really admit it) ask themselves every day! ] LIVE REPORT NOW Brand new duo Franco-Berlinese electronic scene, Saschienne has embarked us in the completely unknown sounds of their album “The Unknown” this evening. Yes, they have adapted to the stage, the requirements of the public and this is another creative sphere that we discover with pleasure and desire! A harmonious live, powerful music, two accomplice artists who transmit to us powerful emotions. Easily and with complicity, our two electro lovers unveil their universe and share a story with us: the story of their music. Looks that meet and the magic of the scene which takes place gradually, when we re-discover the titles. A sweet voice: Julienne’s. A simple but poetic text which will leave more than one dreamer... Experimental sounds, a true artistic project. If the influences of both of these passionate lovers of electro and contemporary music are present in their album, they are equally felt in their live. And no offense to some who describe their music as “simple elevator tunes” the live Saschienne qualifies as sweet symphony that mixes poetic depth, finesse and accuracy. Sensual, melodic, sometimes prosodic, sometimes poetic, punctuated by bass and pads, but primarily driven by the sublime music Saschienne is a long chorus that we listen to and dance again and again ...

It had the advantage of being instinctive. In hindsight, this is an album that has a lot of imperfections, but very sincere, and it came in one piece,â&#x20AC;? Julienne. Marco Dos Santos

EAN PEERAER

“TI: Dean Peeraer is... Dean Peeraer is the name my parents gave me 21years ago. At the age of 16 I started playing the bass guitar, since then I was interested in making my own music. About a year ago I bought a drumcomputer and a dj set-up and started playing around with it. TI: URSO is... the name I came up with on a roadtrip to Berlin. I was sitting in the car and was looking at the number plates that past my window. I wrote like 100 different names on a piece of paper and URSO is the one that stuck. The name feels blank to me. And everyone can fill it in for themselves. -TI: Tell us the story of “Curves” & “Fjell” - Curves is the first song I wrote on my Akai mpd24. I found this old Marvin Gaye sample and wanted to build a house song around it. When I played it for the first time to my girlfriend she started shaking her hips like crazy, so I named it Curves. Fjell I wrote on my last holiday to Norway, On the plane I came up with this melody and played it on my controller. When I finished it on the second day it was much more darker then i expected it to be. I just wanted to make a beat to it that was kinda repetitive and atmospheric

at the same time. I feel like the environment and beautiful nature in Norway really had an impact on the songs I wrote over there. -TI: Dark water or Pure peaks? -A frozen lake and snowy mountaintops. -TI: we know you come from an exceptional and talentous family, would you then consider to compose some music for an upcoming Niels Peeraer’s fashion show? -I don’t know about that. It’s weird because I’ve always had that desire to show what I’ve made to people. Or to let them hear my songs. But to work for someone else as a composer is something totally different. TI: Inspirations -As a teenager I was always interested in more emotional music, and didn’t

UR have any djs back then who inspired me really. I come from a place called Merksplas and wasn’t really part of a group of friends who were doing anything dj-wise or listening to that sort of stuff. i wasn’t listening to that much electronic music. i liked it, but i was playing bass in a band so it wasn’t my main focus.so I did the band thing for a while, had some bad band experiences, as lots of people have [laughs], and i guess i gradually got into electronic music by the typical route really – started going out and going to clubs and gradually got into the music as well as the going out part of it. But after all my main inspirations would be: J dilla, Alice

Coltrane, Burial and Zomby

TI: next projects and expectations -I’m still working on my own under the URSO name. And preparing a half live half dj set, which could be ready pretty soon! Also with a good friend of mine I got a dj project thats called Iconflict, we play house, techno and bass music. -TI: 3 Thoughts: Lust For Life.

Text: Yann Clavaizolle/ Sarah Alcalay. Photography:Sylvain Thirion, Mauro Melis, Fabienne Alcalay Thanks to: Yann Clavaizolle, Sophiane Production,, The Elderberries. During the interview we understood something essential: Yann Clavaizolle is an addict drummer ! but after all he loves beers ! Indeed, he has his own way and universe to perceive and extract every centimetre of poetry, it soon sounds to me like a Marcel Duchamp’s soldier...Choosing a nickname as ‘Hank Hulley’. No sir, we’re definitely not talking about a great stereotype from Texas, or something that comes from an emblematic movie from the 70’s neither, it refers to the french game into pronounciation [enculé] which means “bastard, prick or cocksucker” !!!!! He began to play drums at 8 years old, and being an hyperactive boy, the drums became a kind of evidence, some of the best things to let off stream, (and beers anyway). Let’s say that all this has something to do with his family, specially to his dad ! Music? Did you say music?! at 1000%. 365 days a year. Every day, night, dream, composition, demand, foot printed on this long and noisy road...is Music. He clearly likes to spend his time at the frontiere between nice and friendly plans, new ideas and bands… from different styles and makes the best for it ! if there’s some beers at the end for sure! Devotion. Attention. Loose control and mind. Explosion. Orgasm. Ahhh Those 25 years old reveals the flame of great process and career! He played on few albums and projects like: Nothing ventured nothing gained : The Elderberries (2007) My friends are died in plain crash : Cocoon (2007) Ignorance and bliss : The Elderberries (2009) Ignorance and bliss acoustic : The Elderberries (2009) The last memories of my old house : Zak Laughed (2009) Cardinal sins : Sinner Sinners (2009) The elderberries : The Elderberries (2011) L’homme a la tête de choux : Alain Bashung (2011) From mars with love : Stephan Rizon (2012) Keep it safe : You And You (2013) new Sinner Sinners (2013) Yann played in a lot of big rooms and tv shows like “Taratata” (live french tv show), Olympia (in paris)…) He’s ready now to leave France and play to different countries in the world with a lots of projects ! He’s pretty sure about one thing: wants to finish his life on stage ! for sure !!! ” the best moments on this “job”, without hesitation, it’s live, shows ! but it exists a small frustration wherever you go and play: you wait all the time. before the linecheck, after the linecheck, before the show… the musicians shall understand me. a musician is used to say this : “30 years of career it’s, 10 music years and 20 waiting years 166!”

-TI: define a catastroph as an advantage...

In “Les Alpes” France, an amazing live just on the top of the mountains, we get there without so many problems and then a few minutes later, a big and unbelievable snowstorm! However, we decide to start weighing instruments and they suddenly inform us that the concert is going to be canceled because of the difficulties for the other bands to get to that part of Les Alpes. Causes? Some bus, cars, trucks across the road... And as you can imagine, the public found the same problem as well...they clearly couldn’t arrive to that place! As such we were already prepared in that room to play, the planner gave us our fee and told us something so unusual: “ok guys here’s the plan, the problem all over this is that we have opened the 30 litres beer keg, so basically now we have to drink it all! “ ;-) I let you guess our reaction! And the final detail has been perfect because they invited us to a full day of ski in the station! That experience was a dream instead of a real disaster!

-TI: your leitmotiv...

I think there is good things every time you open your eyes and ears. Everywhere you can find some note that gives you strength, but I might admit that the rock from the 70’s has been and will continue to be a big lifestyle where where sometimes the productions derived from these 40 years are so horny !!! But I think that the most important thing is to find the good elements including people who you care to work with and who’s going to be understanding about the own sense and expectations you want to give to the music. It doesn’t matter the quantity in a band, if you are 2, 3, 4, 5 or even more guys, but if you are complementary.

-TI: your best expectation from life...

To play with a pink elephant as guitarist, a mammoth as bassist and a meerkat singing!

-TI: you feel alive when...

I play or I compose some music of course!

-TI: upcoming projects...

A lot, Electro project : “Les 2 églises” http://les2eglises.bandcamp.com/ Rock project : “The Elderberries” http://www.theelderberries3.com/ “Sinner Sinners” http://sinner-sinners.com/ “Plastic Invaders” http://fr.myspace.com/plasticinvaders Then : “The Deaf Club” rock band with some good influences like (fugazi, smashing pumpkins, baroness, foo fighters, black sabbath, and much more!)

Music, from head to legs Ed’n Legs: a head to think the music and a body (legs) for dancing on it. For nearly three years, members of this association from Lyon organize, reveal, model. True lovers of electronic music, it is the lack of diversity in the middle of the night clubbing and in generally that makes them start slowly to organize their own parties. The Issue Magazine meets Etienne and Nicolas, two pillars of the community. Zoom on Ed’n Legs, or how a passion turns into a full-time job ... Ed’n Legs: the protagonists ... The association Ed’n Legs was born in March 2010. Originally created to develop the programming of electro nights in Lyon, Ed’n Legs implemented its first project during the Music Festival 2010, at the Boulevard Electronique de Gerland. Due to the success of the evening, the collective organized others events: first in Clermont-Ferrand as the founding members, Etienne (artistic Director / resident DJ OUTBAK) and Olivier (resident DJ YOGI) are from the capital of Auvergne; then the events took place more often in Lyon ... Then, they were joined by Simon (Head of diffusion), Islah (Graphic designer) and Nicolas (Communication and Administration). For the record, Nicolas and Etienne met during their respective first evening in June 2010, for the music festival. Nicolas was in charge of a multi-associative event on the next stage. Love at first sight! As the main core is formed, it is with a team of motivated volunteers and friends that Ed’nLegs can boast of having a place in the middle of the night system in Lyon. The circle then expanded with new volunteers, helping out by participating in “classic volunteering tasks: diffusion (flyers, posters, etc.)., assembly, organization, attendance at concerts, and so on. The association as we know it today, stable and reliable, is about 1 year old. Last September, Ed’n Legs became the main activity as a full-time job of our four acolytes Etienne, Nicolas, Simon and Islah. This transformation and turn in the life of the association were able to operate through the development of huge parties, residences at DV1 (Lyon club / website: http://www.dv1-club.com/), of programming at Ninkasi Kao (concert hall and dining area in Lyon / website: http://www.ninkasi.fr/fr/concert-musique/nos-scenes/kao/), but also to the development of their partnerships with LaPlateforme (house boat with multi-spaces / website: http://www.la-plateforme.fr/) or the Club Transbo ( club at Transbordeur / website: http://transbordeur.fr/). In parallel, Nicolas has created his company DOOP EVENT, allowing him to produce concerts. These are two distinct resources, even if the company is involved from time to time to Ed’n Legs’ events. Ed’n Legs, when the adventure begins… During the interview, I am obviously trying to learn a bit more the programming and their favourite music. “At first we wanted instinctively to program the artists you would like to see programmed in Lyon. Contacts were made and we got to set what we wanted to see. It was the basic idea when we first started to organize these events in Lyon, to present good headliners because we felt a severe shortage in supply which was proposed and we really wanted to level it, to organize parties which we would evenwant to go to. We started to get bored in the clubbing nights in Lyon. “ No sooner said than done! The concept grew slowly with the two resident DJs in the center: OUTBAK and YOGI. Each with a very different world but complementary, they were able to impose themselves on the field of electronic cultures in Lyon. The original idea was launched: to create parties with resident DJs of the turntables, real brand identity of the Ed’n Legs’nights. “For us it is obvious, it is the base engine. It is also the notion of pleasure: to have two members of the association who mix some of our events. “

Seeking to develop and showcase the local scene without being exclusively devoted, the collective focus is primarily on the substance rather than the identity of an artist. “We are not marketers for our events. The identity of Ed’n Legs is first link to the artists who are invited and not the words we can put around to attract the public. We are both musically very open and very closed. Very open because we love house, techno, the minimal, disco etc. And veyr closed in the sense that it stays in the underground and we do not compromise with the big commercial radio or other music trends that we are not necessarily interested in. “ The associations serves us trays of quality, ambitious and diversify by sometimes making the crazy mix of musical genres in one evening. The musical influences of the team remain wide and are found in their programming. A rich, sharp and eclectic program. Ed’n Legs, “conceptual” nights The association has a combination of no less than three concepts to their parties. There is for every kind of taste in electronic music! It begins with: . The BAD TYPE = those nights take place in concert halls or unusual places. These are purely electro concerts. The appearance of the stage is worked together with the scenography and blockbusters. It continues with: . The ONE NIGHT STAND = all events which are produced by Edn’Legs in clubs. They correspond to clubbing. And it ends with: . VERSUS = the idea of this type of event is to have a big scenography by inviting two artists who play together all night long! It is also an evening clubbing but with a larger measure. The goal is to bring different structures together and to initiate contacts between two artists who appreciate each other but who have never had the opportunity to play together. A showcase for three beautiful musical themes. What all the members of the association wants above all is to “try to build a core around the nght so as to have so as to an evolution” (Nicolas). Many projects are in the elaborating process, they told me. The opening of a club or room to develop another facet of Ed’n Legs, ideas to increase the gauges and a reflection based on other places to invest in Lyon ... At the time of this interview, they maintained the mystery, and a few weeks later, we are pleased to see a new place was born on Friday 1 February 2013: the Platinum ... Stay tuned and I can tell you that we look forward to discover this place! Question: a quote or thought that defines you? “A flock of birds. The fascination that we have when we see people dancing with one other or side by side without meeting or speaking. We wonder at that point what is going on in their head because they are becoming closer through the body language and there is a visible communion. The pleasure to see people dancing all together. But the idea is to leave our mark on them; so as to end the night not only with the dancing in mind, but also something they learnt from it. When they fly, Birds make “figures”, go in the same direction . Mix music, cultures, styles, audiences. “(Etienne) The collective energy, capturing movements and dance, the idea of IDM (Intelligent Dance Music) to share, the love and passion of music above all, from head to legs: Legs Ed’n.
