Since 2003, he has been working as an accessory designer for a well-known fashion brand, moving on to a freelance stylist career in 2008. His passionate curiosity has brought him to work on a wide array of projects, including lookbooks, print advertising and editorials as well as Tv commercials and video clips. A broad visual culture and a love for the finer things in life, together with a sharp pragmatism, have earned him prestigious collaborations: his work has been published in international magazines such as Satellite Magazine and Visionarios in Los Angeles, F_Art Magazine in Holland, V – Rag in Canada, Slave Magazine, Bambi Magazine, PaperCut, Pause Magazine,Remark Canada, Eclectic, Fashionisto, Kneon Magazine, Razor-Red and Sicky.

DATTA GALLERY

Conceptstore and Gallery situated in the middle of Lyon, France, Datta is specialized in Art books and magazines with a lot of exclusive imported products from all around the world. You can occasionally find some serigraphies and art pieces coming from a local and international scene. The process, for most of them, is related to a real street inspiration.

KiM LAUGHTON

Kim Laughton is a Shanghai based artist coming from the UK. Visual 3D results and a personal clothing label TIMEFLY are some of the examples from Kim’s practice, as well as collaborations with other artists or designers. TIMEFLY is a new product featuring images by different artists digitally printed onto garments.The process of those products requires a digital configuration, passing through some renders to make NetArt comes true into a physical realm. The imaginary grows up from a dairy content, then modified by a digital perspective and fantasy, sometimes psychedelic, colorful, or taboo like his ‘digital drugs addiction’ or ‘virtual gods’.

"WHITE ISLAND! one day at White Chapel "

5 / Team

I was turning down plants in the middle of the water on the islands with the wind Water proof time. I was there And the nights where long enough And forever Art was more than art Mornings Nights Mornings Nights again There was no more than that MARTA

I like to think that you are this refuge they talk so much about... A sanctuary for the thoughts, for the details that become something more. Something important happening in the present. And it's important because it makes me feel. Where are you? I try to remember where were you located for the last time. Your landscapes are vanishing. Your oceans, your stones, your berries, your bays. The moon soon alters my beats. The swell is about to take you to the west. I can play your horizons reversing the keys of your seasons Your neighbour, that other land without name I found you, You, the space I drew in my head. SARAH

-TI: You studied in the Netherlands, how the esthetic does from here differs from the one in London or France. I think Dutch fashion designers got internationally known for their conceptual way of working. Dutch fashion design is famous for being well thought through and innovative in shape and use of fabrics. But nowadays I think it is moving into another direction; there are a lot of young designers experimenting with for example 3D printing and integrated electronics in their designs or questioning the fashion system by using sustainable fabrics or ways of producing/presenting. -TI: When or where did you figure out that you wanted to become a fashion designer? When I was really young I never liked the clothes in the shops in the town where I lived, so I always tried to make my own clothes for which I could chose the fabric and cut myself. Later I found out that there was actually also another type of clothes than the one in the shops I knew, clothes that were designed by independent fashion designers or fashion houses. I was so fascinated by how these particular clothes came into being that I started to research about it. I found the process from the cloth to the actual clothing piece so interesting that from than on I knew I wanted to explore this exciting world.

-TI: How would you describe femininity? I like women to be quite androgynous. These days I think modern women are able to play around with feminine and masculine behavior, which is great. We have so much freedom when it comes to gender roles. -TI: What story is behind the collection? For my collection I did a lot of research before I started to design. I looked at the way clothing pieces are constructed in the East, for example the way a Japanese kimono consists out of a piece of cloth of a restricted size and is only sewn together with a few seems. I did a lot of experiments with ways of constructing a garment. In the end I developed accessories that create the shape of the garment. These accessories were inspired by dart seems, as normally the dart seems create shape in Western clothes. I wanted to make the dart seem adjustable, by making the accessories not fixed to the garment. By using the accessories the shape of the garment is created and the accessories are also functioning as closings, so you can adjust the clothing piece to your own size. -TI: In you latest collection you played around with white and black, what does this combination of colors makes you feel? I chose white as the base for my collection, because I wanted the attention to be on the accessories that create the shape in the garments. I wanted the garments to be like a pure white cloth, kind of like the origin of clothing. -TI: You also played with different materials, shapes and proportions. When designing; you first focus in the design itself or you investigate about new fabrics, techniques and materials? When I design a collection I like to focus first on the shape of the garments. I love to design through draping techniques. I think looking at different type of fabrics works together with that, because to get to a certain shape, the type of fabric is essential. For my last collection I worked a lot with silk gazar, which is a great fabric because of its stiffness. -TI: Do you usually wear your clothes? Yes, some pieces I do wear. But most of the time only the basics, like the transparent turtleneck top of my last collection. On the daily basis I like to wear comfortable clothes, only for special occasions I dress up. -TI: If you have to work for a fashion brand, in which one do you think your style and perspective about fashion fits in better? Brands I love are Walter van Beirendonck, Viktor & Rolf, Maison Martin Margiela and Proenza Schouler.

-TI: D E M E L R A V E isn’t … mousy mousy (grey in grey)

-TI: What does DEMELRAVE means or comes from? Austria, especially Vienna, got this very typical coffeehouse-culture, traditional viennese Cáfe’s like the Sacher, Hawelka and Demel - it’s our comfort zone, that lives in us as well. On the other hand we love to rave up different elements and try to exaggerate them to a visual peek. Impressions of people we met, when we were in Japan or in the United States and even little vienna. This mix of different state of minds is quite interesting for us.

5 / DEMELRAVE

-TI: How would you describe your collection? And if you have to related it to 3 persons whom those will be? D E M E L R A V E is a retrospection of personal moments mixed with strange observations, uncertain feelings of loneliness in the center of a global city. Ecstatic dance of techno, is the contra motion and the outbreak of the dynamical daily routine and expectations of society. In opposition a Viennese apartment, a safe haven of his own historical background and personal history. Our outfits are a combination of an interior and luxury inspired, more subtle style and the smooth, more urban and aggressive style. With a touch of irony and substantial

sincerity we are melting different strong and characteristic elements together and try to mold a new aesthetic. Die Antwoord would love to wear D E M E L R A V E Outfits. (¥o-Landi Vi$$er and Ninja) But also Beyonce or Chloe Sevigny. We love independent women with a strong attitude. -TI: If you have to travel to the future which of your outfits you would wear? (draw yourself on it) Our silk velvet Outfits with the digital printed carpet are that cosy, once you wear the sweaters, trousers or jackets, you won’t wear something else again.

-TI: Where can we find your collection online if we want to wear one of your pieces (or all) ? So far, we didn’t produce the last collection for sale. But as there were a lot of requests by customers, we reproduced some of the pieces again for order. You can always write an email on demelrave. com, and for the next season we are going to be sold in stores as well. -TI: Do you think fashion is more about the real world or how do you want your world to dress like? We are inspired by People we meet and odd experiences that we remember and after a while twist and turn in our heads. It is the essence of impressions and strange compilations in our mind that inspires us the most. So it’s always a mix of reality and how we would love to see people. -TI: How do you see fashion scene in Austria? The scene in Austria is getting bigger and bigger. It’s nice, that people are getting more interested in fashion and a lot of new shops and young designers start up here. But it’s still important to go further and think big. One of our main goal for

the upcoming saison is to gain even more attention of in Europe, the US and Asia. -TI: What kind of connection do you have with the fashion world or with the art scene in your country? It’s always good to keep each other updated. We can support each other a lot, as far as we all want to bring the fashion and art scene in Austria, especially in Vienna further. The scene in Austria is getting bigger and bigger. It’s nice, that people are getting more interested in fashion and a lot of new shops and young designers start up here. But it’s still important to go further and think big. One of our main goal for the upcoming saison is to gain even more attention of in Europe, the US and Asia. The young generation wants a lot, but is hard working as well, so you can feel the flush of development. That’s always a good sign. -TI: What are you working on now? We are preparing everything for our new SS15 collection. It’s really exciting to build up something in such a short period of time. A lot of work, but it’s always worth it. You are going to find out soon.. and we are on safari.. -TI: Favorite outfit for a dinner with your friends Our D E M E L R A V E twill shirt with the golden safety pin, nice pair of trousers and trainers. -TI: Something that you hate and something that you wish. We are quiet optimistic and have a lot of energy and see a lot of potential in our work. A lot of awesome things happened to us in the last year. To stay positive is one of the most important things and there is no time to hate something, as long as we keep on moving, work as hard as we can and enjoy all opportunities we are given. But what we definitely hate is delivery delay. And what we love is punctuality. Thank’s so much for the interview opportunity, we really enjoyed it!!!

5 / JUST ONE EYE

-TI: How would you describe the platform Just One Eye? Just One Eye is a future concept store that holds together a curated space of art collectibles, antique furniture, fashion, jewelry, and objects. We bring creative minds from the worlds of fashion, art, and design and connect these visions together. It’s a platform of never ending mixture of fashion, art, and design. -TI: What motivated you and inspired you to open such platform? Having been in the fashion business for 24 years and knowing the facets, I wanted to merge the different aspects of the business. I wanted to create a retail store combined with mixed art, culture, and fashion. The different discoveries that have come along so far and the works by major designers have inspired me to create another aspect of a retail store. -TI: What kind of work can we find inside your gallery? From Murakami’s sculpture, Thomas Ruff prints, Ellen Von Unwerth’s photographs, and 50’s vintage furniture to contemporary art collections. -TI: Why do you think we need more galleries like yours? Just One Eye is a multi-concept store, a boutique, showroom, and an online shop. We showcase major talents as well as new products and new brands constantly. I have an amazing team with a united vision and we have a visionary approach to illuminating the future of creativity and originality. -TI: You mixed couture houses with groundbreaking young brands, what that does the work from young artist bring to your gallery? We curate the work for each new launching designer in a special room to expose them to more attention. We want them to respect the way we present it and to make sure we support them. -TI: What do all works have in common?

-TI: The most impressive piece you have exposed? Victoire de Castellane’s “Heroina Romanticam Dolorosa” Dior necklace brought from the Gagosian Gallery in Paris. http://justoneeye.com/heroina-romanticam-dolorosa-dior-necklace-6389.html -TI: How would you describe the shopping experience you offer? The whole experience is personal, a one-on-one experience. -TI: If you could choose one artist and one piece, which would it be? At the moment it is Nate Lowman and his huge drop cloth painting. I enjoyed working with him and his collaboration with Converse (Converse x Nate Lowman) and it was a great success. -TI: Why do you think it is important to give support to new fashion designers? Fashion is constantly developing and moving so it’s important to be aware of what is changing. We have to gxive our tomorrows a chance and support them. They are our future. -TI: Do you consider fashion designers as artists? If so, why? Yes, fashion is a type of art. Fashion designers apply the same artistic expression into their clothes, like an artwork. -TI: What kind of process do you follow to find new artist, and to select their works? I don’t follow any process—whatever comes to my mind. -TI: What kind of customer surrounds Just One Eye? Everybody is always welcome.

All these works are special and not mass-produced. They are a timeless luxury, rare collectibles you won’t find at any store.

5 / Gallery: DATTA

-TI: Datta Gallery is... abookstoreopenedinOctober2010whereyoucanfind booksrelatedtographism,fashion,typography,graffiti, architecture, design, paper mills…We have more than 450 references from design to tendency books… We alsocoverphotographyandfood,sellsomegoodiesand piecesofjewelrymadebyamazingDesignersandphoto accessories ('lomo' and 'Impossible').

-TI: Does the space represent a big part of the work and atmosphere at Datta? The gallery, with its big area, represents 50% of the surface of Datta.We launch about 10 exhibits a year, as wellasseveralevents,bookssignatures,youthworkshops in association with the magazine Georges, from Lyon.

We also organize food workshops, wine tasting and 'befores' (yeah instead of 'afters'= some off events) for the Nuits Sonores and the Fête de la musique. To resume, a real laboratory of social exchanges and meetings! -TI: The architecture plays and has a huge role within the choice of publications, why? My father is a former architect so I guess I’m unconsciously influenced by architecture. I started myself as a graffiti artist so street culture and architecture are strongly related to my everyday work, and obviously, do influence my choices. -TI: Inspirations I have several sources of inspiration : a few blogs like Hypebeast, Haw-lin, There must be the place, or a few magazines like Wallpaper, O Five, Shoes-up, Frankie, Kinfolk.

-TI: What is the rarest piece you have to propose? Where does it come from? The rarest pieces are certainly magazines such as Frankie (Australian), Kinfolk (Portland), Hypebeast (Japan), Swedish fine dishes. We want to distinguish ourselves from big mainstream brands such as Fnac or Virgin by looking for rare pieces abroad. -TI: How do you establish the selection of goodies, in its relation to the rest of the gallery? Yes we try to make a strong link between the bookstore and the gallery : both of them are graphic and very modern. You can find fashion shootings, illustrations or tattoo exhibits in the gallery. The textile design collection of the school La Martinière Diderot comes as another path between the store and the gallery. We like that connection to be coherent. -TI: Does Harmony looks like white? No, I don't think so. White can be maybe for some purity, but for Harmony there is no color in particular, just a balance.

-TI: Tell us about the functioning of the Art Gallery The rules are quite simple : the artist can do whatever he feels like doing, as long as his work is consistent together with the gallery and its spirit. -TI: Do you consider yourself as a hunter into that talent sphere? For me the gallery is a laboratory, I’m not really driving by the will to discover major talents, I just want to show a work that gets me and that I could sell or explain to other people. A good feeling with the artist adds value, the rest is easy. The gallery brings exchange, discovery and economical support to the shop. -TI: Creativity is... A creation that makes sense ??? The question is actually quite hard, I don't know what to answer without previous reflection, maybe let's say that it could be more about the own concept of exchanging points of views about what could be creativity;

-TI: Tell us about your relation with paper It’s a difficult question. I have a huge books collection and I pile up a lot of magazines. I find it so hard to throw them away. -TI: About Laurie Franck Laurie is a beautiful discovery. Her exhibit was great, and since then, we work together a lot on bringing light on the products. She’s quite new but part of the family. -TI: About Richardson Mag A beautiful book, nice pics, great collaborations -TI: Upcoming projections It’s confidential.. More info in a month or so, but a big change is coming, with less exhibits but more collaborations.. Like a rebirth...

Supporters N° 1 of our lovely French Team of Telemark on this World Cup at Les Contamines Montjoie, a station in the Haute-Savoie, where some of the athletes come from, as well as our Olympic champion on Sotchi Games, Coline Mattel. It’s still december 2013 and after a round in Hintertux http://www.fis-worldcup.com/ we have a big meeting this morning on the top of the slopes- « RENCONTRE AU SOMMET » Season 2013-2014 SENIOR LAURA GRENIER SOLIGET CLEMENT BERGERETTI ANTOINE BOUVIER JUNIOR ARGELINE MATTI LOPEZ

5 / TELEMARK: FRENCH TEAM

Last year we had the chance to meet the whole team and we made a report about it so you could see what it feels like when you ‘wear’ an ancestral winter discipline, with elegance and precision. This time, we wanted to observe the rounds during a real World Cup and not just the training. Les Alpes Fraçaises. 9:30 AM. I already discovered a familiar but so warm and welcoming station! It feels good to follow the team on that kind of ‘render-vous’! And be aware about something truly important: We’re just at the foot of the MONT-BLANC! Yep! So after a restorative night, arriving on the slopes I discover that I’m extremely and insanely close to the Mont-Blanc! What a privilege and sumptuous show! The athletes are already here, prepared, spitting fire to melt the ice! ;-) Oh My! There’s such an amazing atmosphere here, people feel so friendly and determined to encourage their champions! War cry and cry from the heart, clapping’s explosion, the bells ring every time an athlete is running the slalom, the celebration is here and we’re having such a big fun! Best supporters are present, each country represented have their own and I put my attention on some German, English,

Austrian accent for this round! Saturday morning is completed, I join the nice Bernadette Bergeretti at the arrival and take the glass of friendship gently offered by the organization, Thank y’all ! ;-) I’ll be following the run this afternoon and sunday morning with the same enthusiasm and atmosphere of madness! yuhhuuuu let’s go! Bernadette is our press contact for the French Team, front office + back office/Sports Alpins Distribution. Thanks to her if you can read some of the answers from our lovely athletes. Indeed, they kindly responded playing the game! http://telemark2013.events.lescontamines.com/en/ telemark/#.UwYw4zkYmRY ©Jean-Yves Raffort. Official photographer of the French Team Mont-Blanc Telemark We interviewed here some of the members and racers, Argeline and Matti are coming from the French Team Junior: -TI: What are the steps and hardships of the world cup of Telemark? LAURA: We have five steps this winter, november to march. We have three hardships; classic sprint, sprint and parallel sprint. CLÉMENT: To be a good telemark racer, we need to be polyvalent. If we are good in GS, its maybe not enough because we need to be good at the jump and in the skating part as well. The penalties are also really important.Sometime you can ski really fast but you took a couple of penalties and will finish far from the leads. MATTI: For me the steps of the worldcup of télémark are a good physical training during all the summer and the spring. When you have a good physical condition, then you can start the training on the skis. You start at the national races, then, if you do good results you must be qualified to some worldcup. The telemark worldcup is not as profesional as the alpine worldcup. But when you race on the worldcup circuit, you have to do sacrifices (money, time, school, profesional career,...) -TI: What are the different countries represented on that World Cup and how do they determine the line-up? LAURA: the different countries are Austria, France, USA, sweden and norway for the world cup final. The

different federation of every country make a meeting and choose the best volunteer resort. CLÉMENT: France, Norway, Swiss, USA, England, Sweden, Slovenia, Germany, Italia, Hungary, Austria, Czech republica, MATTI: There is more or less 10 countries racing on the worldcup. I think in the “little countries” of telemark like Hungary, Finland, Italy... the line up is determined by the number of racers... But in the big country of telemark like Norway, France, Switzerland, Germany you have a “selection” on the national circuit. -TI: Some interesting quotes from the athletes/ top skiers, about: LAURA: For me it’s ; . concentration before the race : listen to music . mental and physical conditions : never stopped to think positive for the mental, and make the best physical training as you can. CLÉMENT: . concentration before the race All racers have a different way about the concentration before the race. A know that some guys like to stay alone and be really focus on the race. Some others, like me, prefer talk about anything and just be really focus about the race few minutes before the start. . mental and physical conditions Every guy have is program for the physical training. Some like to go to the gym often to be ready and some other prefer do a lot of outside sports like running, biking or hiking. As telemark a good telemarker have to be polyvalent, we all do a lot of different sport ARGELINE: Concentration before the race: As in every racing sport, we need a moment on our own before the run. Here we need to concentrate, remember the gate set up and slope conditions and to prepare for the race, even before entering the starting cabin. Mental and Physical condition: Telemark is a physically demanding sport. In one run you have to combine a giant slalom, a jump, a loom and all the skating parts. You must remain in “clean” Telemark position throughout the race to avoid penalties and without training you will get nowhere! It’s a very complete discipline !

105

MATTI: The concentration before the races: You must be “on your race” before the start, you have to be prepared. Mental and physical conditions: You have to know what you really want to do, if you are here to win or to look the others. You dont need someone saying “you will win, you are the best”, if you really know what you want you will have it, you are the only person on the gates. For the physical conditions, if you trained hard before and during the winter you dont have to think of your physical conditions. -TI: Who are Laura, Clément, Argeline, Matti, apart from the telemark? LAURA: I’m ski instructor, and I’m now graduated in Bachelor commercial, communication and accounting CLÉMENT: I just finish school with a 3 years diploma in business and finance. During the winter, I just train, do the races and during the french holidays I work for my ski school. The previous summer, I have been in New Zealand to improve my english and discover something new and now, I’m looking for a job for the summer period.

ARGELINE: Who am I besides a telemarker, apart from racing in high level competitions, I am a student studying physiotherapy. I will finish my degree in less than 2 years and am really looking forward to completing my studies in order to realise my dreams of racing for a full season. MATTI: I am a 17 y-o boy living in Méribel on the three vallees, i have a passion for the watersports. Actually in a “ski school” to do my passion: the telemark. -TI: If every athlete had to define his passion for this discipline and practice in one word, which could it be? LAURA: liberty CLÉMENT: Passion ARGELINE: rock’n love MATTI: THE ORIGINAL AND STILL THE BEST

I am glad there are no more laws against vagrancy, since I am curious about the backwoods. Those afield and the ones around the corner. Hoping to rediscover the boondocks, or at least NYC, I let Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wobbly gait carry me into the unknown, in cahoots with the Kid of my imagination. I am drawn to abandoned places, things devoid of context and the setting of natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s melancholy against the backdrop of industrial clamor, as well as to all attempts of compromise, like between the strictness of Bernhard Fett and the charm of Bickham Script. As a designer I specialize in graphics publishing and advertising creation. My portfolio contains visual corporate and product identity systems. I design brand and service catalogues, as well as everyday business publications, including promotional materials, periodicals, packaging and billboards. Recently I find myself immersed in corporate typography - an uncharted territory in the polish design market. In the field of photography I harvest two crops: artistic and commercial. Artistic photography is a subjective image of our reality. An attempt to penetrate my microverse in search of singular phenomena and their universal meaning. I photograph commercially for online and print publishing and advertising. I graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in GdaĹ&#x201E;sk (formerly PWSSP) - diploma under the direction of professor Witold Janowski. I am employed at the Faculty of Graphic Design since 1980 (including a decade of business-related hiatus). I direct the Faculty of Lettering and Typography and the Faculty of Graphic Design.

NON GRATA : PERFORMANCE

Diverse Universe Performance Festival Diverse Universe is a nomadic performance festival, traveling through the East-SouthWest and North Europe, uniting artists from all-across the world. The Festival is sharing High quality Performance Art and Live Art with audiences from all over Europe in different cities. They come this year in 'this France' and thanks to the collaboration of amazing artists as Marc Brunier-Mestas (who actually wrote the scenario), we could have assisted to their performance,. The place is some green island, with a life door open to a metallic world. I climb a little mountain, not really in the middle of the countryside, not really in town either, a sort of in between, a no man's land. The weather is not the best though, it's quite dark outside and the rain starts falling down and ends up on me, I start walking through an anarchic nature, jumping between metallic stuff, on a muddy path and on the right, an old and rusted bus whence some sounds or rhrythms are trying to emanate from. I keep going straight and see a clearing, where the grass is cut off, it's circular. The performers are here, everything is starting to get a sense, a scene, a text is chanted in a language

124

I don't understand and a strong and loud music is played in loop, this is life's comedy. We are already embarqued in the world where the artists wanted us to come, a raw, crude and strong world. An imaginary universe where images are replacing art's secnes and hide kindness with a reality standing alongside the fake and death is finding its place as the mistress of the world. When you make that choice and confrontation between life and death. The artists deploy in front of us a spiral of the laughable, a big fresco of fantastic, the tyrant's labor showing us the borders between our animal pulsions and our cerebral human reason, mixed up in that spirituality of time. This performance has revealed something similar as a big beautiful slap, awaking emotions, that we would need to open our eyes to the world but without being too used to it, a slap which would make us learn about things that are not always what they seem to be.

5 / LUDOVIC LEVASSEUR

The deeply affecting and upsetting engraving of Ludovic Levasseur... I cannot say that I really know the artist, I cannot tell you that I truely understand his oeuvre either, but I can't admit that I'm completely insensitive to his production. So I'm going to take you to a strange travel, out of ordinary, just above the level of our eyes, a travel in aquarium where the helium is the kingÂ ! I strike the engraving of this talented artist as strong as my meeting with him were soft and sweet. I make an observation where the contrast rubs shoulders with the courtesy of someone discret, where the 'strengh-delicacy' of his oeuvre is dazzling like an enigma. Ludovic Levasseur's creation is to be understood. We'll have to let our eyes softly sliding on those engraving, without a priori, but just inviting our senses and eyes to look further than the tip of your nose... The engraving carry promises, illusions and disenchantments. It's a transparent world that the artist let us see, a universe without trick, raw and brutal, where the emotions convey us, running through, biting, abusing our morals. A transparent world, like I said, where he let us put some colour of life, in red, red, and red. To see through it, to see the quirks, keep looking the big maddening but also so unique life! To see this life through Levasseur's engraving is like getting prepared for a spontaneous and short announced death, sweet and strong at the same time, rejected and repulsed, yet desired. He likes to play our decency and reserve...To appreciate Ludovic Levasseur's engraving means that you like living and feel alive! * LE DERNIER CRI is a french publisher specialized in rather disturbing sick screen and comics with a very low print run.

PHILIPPE COMPTE MAITRE CHOCOLATIER- CONFISEUR

chocolate meeting somewhere in France ... I met some important character: the chocolate. But most of all, I met his creator somewhere in the heart of France, a small town with chocolate lovers. You must know that it’s something that you feel and experience as a transcendantal discovery as a child. And if you don’t like it until the extremity of your lips, do not dare saying that you are a chocolate lover! If you’re also in love with chocolate, follow me, let’s have a look, try and taste of an ancestral boyfriend, in a beautiful lair called the ‘SUBLIME’ ! The country where the taste is king and where taste buds can marvel, where the adults become children again... Le Sublime aka ‘Philippe Compte’ its creator and confectioner, is the actor of a landscape where we would like to stay more and more, just beside the man who works, underlines, reveals, sublimes the chocolate! Philippe Compte , an extreme passionate artist, who falls at 4 years old in the big pot of desserts’ lovers! Here is some essences of what we extract last time we’ve been visiting the atelier: Philippe Compte it’s about dreaming, but making dreams come true, it’s about assisting to some show but where our senses are going to be highly caressed. Magician of flavors, Mixer of tastes, Tester of assemblies! The first rule is simple. He insists, you can’t pretend cooking without any of your senses awake. You have to smell first, be impregnated before you savor the realisation. Surprising experience, such a delicious feeling the one which consists to ‘taste a smell’, because it is indeed about tasting, savoring a smell . A smell of childhood a smell of appointment a smell of nostalgia a smell that I easily associate to my memories, the remembrance, the souvenirs ...

142

Philippe Compte tells the tale of taste, it takes place through the time of his desserts, we embedded in our memories we enlisted in this great adventure of life, where the flavors are goddess and where we become sublime princesses and in this wonderful world of subtle flavors! And say that if Mr. Compte did not meet all his masters he will may not be here today to convey to us his enthusiasm, his passion, and say that it must be little to do arise the talent or the stifle even before he is revealed! That is what Philippe Compte also tells us about, his passion his envy very young, but also those who have crossed its route, those who we help those who have believed in him, because this boy discreet, almost timid, becomes inexhaustible when it comes to speaking about his business. He tells us the chocolate, he explains to us the desserts, he transmits to us his love! We also met Alexia Compte, his wife, spiritual and dynamic guide, who knows exactly how to highlight his creations ! LE SUBLIME pâtisserie chocolaterie salon de desserts, salon de thé where we’ve been extremely well-received, little treasure, jewellry case of talent, it’s her ! The packaging is delicate, refined and precious to keep it safe like a secret box, and again this is her ! We’ve been rediscovering my inner childhood’s heart for a moment during this wonderful meeting and we feel so grateful about it ! I found my lollipops of days gone by, handmade as well as with a mechanical system, with those little wood sticks . I met the real personnification of talent, kindness, passion and inconditionnal love for creation. No matter how or what is going to be released, the limits are always pushed away for an experience of taste as surprising as marvellous ! Yuzu cakes (japanese lemon), chocolate made of Thai pepper, spicy textures, sugar’s designs, cigar’s sorbets, virgin olive oil’s ice creams, handmade bread for burgers, Gaspard des Montagnes biscuits, handmade marshmallow and the local caramel ‘Caracroq’ are just a few creations from Philippe Compte repertory. You can aslo order whatever you want, your favorite cake, your craziest ideas

or desires, with fresh fruit, imported and rare essences, spices or products from all over the world. And as a real artist of course, Philippe is never totally satisfied of his work. He has made a lot of competitions and won primes, as well as part of ‘les croqueurs de chocolats’ occasionaly judged and well-mentionned everywhere. He considers cooking, baking and creating in his atelier as a real art, taking some influences in the fashion world sometimes. He’s amused and impressed by the textures in Jean-Paul Gaultier’s work, he embraces the high quality and requirement and thinks that every apple has its own savour. Eating fresh and temporary food and making people eat that way and ‘taste the seasons’ as well. Native of Ambert (LivradoisForez), his generosity coming from the ‘terroir’ has made his vision a laboratory where we can’t be lied about. Where a smell has an identity and the taste is a matter of sharing.

The story beginned when he was 4 and determined, his revelation has been the time spent with his mentor at 15, passioned, he couldn’t sleep that much, the creation was his drug, to the extent that his mentor’s wife asked her husband to choose between his pupil or her... The knowledge and transmission has a name, it’s Bouvard. This is when he realised that paying close attention to the others and to difficulties has something more, that extra, that attractive point to find the color of talent. Le Havre. Big step, 8 pastry chefs under his orders. Lozère, Le Lion d’or. Château de la Case. Luxury. Big opportunities to the USA but he chose the modesty and to come back to the roots. He has plenty of adventures to tell us, he could actually write a book, some of them sounds like bad luck which finally turns into an incredible chance where he had other options but to deal with miracles...

5 / GUSGUS

Started as a leftfield music project in the early 90s, Reykjavik-based GusGus have emerged to be at the forefront of the international electronic dance community. Today, the Icelandic group has nine fulllength LPs under its belt, first debuting on legendary indie label 4AD before developing in a more danceorientated outfit, switching labels a few times before finally signing to Kompakt with 2009’s „24/7“. Following 2011 best seller„Arabian Horse“, Birgir Thorarinsson, Daníel Ágúst, Högni Egilsson and Stephan Stephensen release their third full-length album „Mexico“ via Kompakt in 2014, where they leave no stone unturned on their journey to sonic bliss, delving ever deeper into timeless melodies with every subsequent track and stepping further into the future of anthemic pop music.

Sometimes, there’s nothing like a change of scenery. If you’re in a band, it can shift perspectives and do wonders for the creative process. That certainly proved to be true for Deluka. After four years in Brooklyn New York, the quartet decided to head west and start a new life and, consequentially, another album. “None of us were particularly happy in New York anymore,” admits frontwoman Ellie Innocenti. “It was claustrophobic and cluttered. We needed to remove ourselves from that situation. We had a band meeting, and we proposed the idea of a West Coast move. Everyone was up for it, so we picked a day, packed our things into one little moving pod, and moved to L.A. The landscape change sparked all kinds of inspiration. We felt at ease here.” “There was hope and optimism inherent in leaving,” Kris Kovacs concurs. “The band could’ve imploded, but we made a collective choice together. We had gotten a taste of life out there from working at other studios and touring.

156

5 / DELUKA

We just craved a change and a bit of sun. It clearly impacted the songwriting.” Within days of settling in, Deluka caught a creative wave. Kris and Ellie recorded countless preliminary demos at a home studio so when they officially began working with producer Tim Pagnotta [Neon Trees] in 2013, they had a bevy of music ready to go. Now, 2014’s Bonds EP preserves the band’s artful tapestry of pop, electro, and rock, while embracing an unbridled and uplifting newfound spirit. “We wanted to make something bigger,” continues Kris. “We wanted anthemic choruses, emotional lyrics, and lush melodies. Everything was lighter and less oppressive in Los Angeles. The size of the musical scope remained the same, but the execution was completely different. It’s like we were holding our breath for years, then we managed to get a breath of fresh air for the first time.”

The first single “Home” captures that spirit. Buzzing synths entwine with soaring guitars as Ellie’s voice immediately captivates during the hook. It’s the perfect introduction to the next phase of Deluka. “It was more reflective and optimistic,” says the vocalist. “It’s sort of about finding that place where you feel comfortable, whether it be a bunch of people or a new home. Home doesn’t necessarily mean Birmingham or Los Angeles. It’s like a catchall for the place you feel at rest.” At the same time, a dance sensibility punctuates the EP, seizing infectious energy on the likes of “Dead of Night” and “American Skies”. Bonds also lays the groundwork for the release of the band’s long awaited sophomore full-length, Vows. “People are tied together by different things,” she goes on. “Bonds can be friendship or they can be financial or technical.

It has a positive and negative connotation. It leads up to Vows, and I feel like the two go hand-inhand.” The bonds that shine through most though are the ones that Deluka have forged with the music and their fans. Those will last the longest. The band built that connection upon relocating from Birmingham UK in 2008. They released 2010’s critically acclaimed debut full-length You Are The Night, toured the country numerous times with high-profile gigs such as Lollapalooza, and accrued a string of placements by the likes of MTV, VH1, Rockstar Games, EA Games, and more in the process. Their fan base remains close to their hearts. “I want people to feel hopeful when they hear the album,” Ellie concludes. “It’s a note to self to keep going and moving forward. We want that optimism and hopefulness to sonically transport listeners.”

5 / POSITIF

Pepe Coca is the main man behind the spanish live electro act Positif, but also works as a sound engineer and producer for other Spanish bands in his "Clockworks" Studio. Positif performs all of their music live without computers -a nod to the past of electronic music, and a rare exception these days-, and although they're an "under the radar" band in Spain, we're proud to bring them a little bit closer to wider recognition with this in depth interview.

-TI: Positif is... Pepe Coca: Positif (http://www.positif.es/) is a musical project that started in 2007 under different names and forms, and later crystallized into what it is now: a mature mixture of punk-funk and electronic aesthetics. It’s mainly a band formed by Manuel López on drums, Héctor de la Puente carrying the visual -VJing- part, and myself -Pepe Coca- on Keyboards, guitars and general engineering/production. Currently I’m also doing remixes and stuff for other bands under the Positif moniker. -TI: Does Art constitute a solid springboard to pursue your musical aspirations? The funny thing is that, although at Positif we all come from an arts education background I don’t think we particularly think of what we do as “Art” -with a capital A-. Instead, what we like about music is that it eludes the farce that sometimes goes with institutionalized art, and, particularly, it’s conceptual/ theoretical side. With music you don’t have to explain anything nor justify your choices, it simply works or either it doesn’t. -TI: What do you think about elitism in music? I think it has it’s places, but it’s easy to have a love/ hate relationship with it. There is, of course, a lot of extremely uninteresting, simple -in a bad waycommercial music on the airwaves that is polluting our everyday lives, but there’s also a lot of music that is not elitist in any way that I like.

158

If we talk about disco, for example, in it’s heyday it was music that was often criticized as repetitive and blatantly commercial but, in reality, it was good music played by great performers and very influential to all subsequent music forms, specially the electronica genres. It was also very innovative technically. The people at Motown, Stax or Salsoul records in the 70’s pretty much invented many of the sounds and techniques that are still used today more than 40 years later. -TI: When you compose, do you think about music independently from the video projections? Composition is really a mixture of ideas that come to my head at any time, but sometimes some tracks are born in our jams when we’re rehearsing for the live shows. Video comes way after composition, because the video in our shows is not something I really “control” much. For the most part we let Héctor (our VJ) hear what we’ve done and then do whatever he wants -visually- in the live shows, given that it suits the music. We’re now thinking of changing the live show into something more akin to a DJ set (still live, but with no stops after each song) and maybe then we’ll prepare something more conceptually complex for the visuals. But for now it’s all really more of a conciously chaotic show.

159

-TI: What’s the evolution for someone talking about analogue results but playing with projections with unusual flying jesus and dressed cats? I think both visions are compatible! Truth is our live performance is quite unlike our recorded material, because we play everything live. We use the same instruments (analog synths and live drums) but there’s absolutely nothing sequenced or pre-programmed in our shows. I play two or three keyboards live and Manuel plays drums, it’s only four hands! Given that there are no samplers, sequencers or laptop controlled events -even Hector’s visuals are live 100%- we can not really achieve the same results as in our releases so we opt for a more punk-oriented show that emphasizes the physicality and rawness of the music. -TI: If you had the possibility to be the creator of a new revolutionary plug, how would you design its functionality? Geeky question alert! (Laughs) Well I’m not really a fan of audio plugins -I’m more of a hardware guybut i do use some. I really like Nebula wich is a plugin that uses dynamic convolution, a technique that “captures” the behaviour of real hardware via a form of “sampling”. The thing is that the user interface of Nebula is really unintuitive and limited because of the way the technology works. So my take on it would be to create a plug with the sound characteristics of Nebula, but with a more intuitive interface, similar to commercial plugins with more visual feedback -like Izotope’s plugs for example-. -TI: Do you take inspiration from samplers? I have the self-imposed rule not to use samples from other musicians, because for a clasically trained pianist and profesional sound designer like me it feels like cheating. Is just too easy! I do of course take inspiration from records when I’m producing, and sometimes try to achieve similar sounds with similar techniques, but i never sample.That’s not to mean that I don’t like sampled based music. There’s some great music out now that is sampled based;

Prefuse 73 or The Bran Flakes come to mind, but it’s not the kind of music I’d naturally feel like making. I also think that there’s loads of music that uses samples as “the easy way out”. Theres’s so much crappy stuff made with samples that is ultrarepetitive and boring. I sometimes think there should be a “driver’s license” for samplers, so that not anyone could use one. How’s that for elitism?? (Laughs). -TI: What’s Positif Synth School? It’s a series of tutorials where I try to show people how to recreate a sound from a classic record. Usually I try to use a mix of plugins and relatively cheap gear in the tutorials, so that people with less funds can learn how to achieve professional results with limited income. You can browse these tutorials in our soundcloud (https://soundcloud.com/positifpositif/ sets/positif-synthschool). -TI: You’re freshly arrived on a Canadian’s Kashim and you only have power enough to save one of these instruments: which one do you pick? A Moog’s synth. / An Electric Guitar I think the Moog, because it sounds “warmer” (Laughs). -TI: Upcoming projects, collabs., lives? I’m currenty producing spanish band Los Ganglios’ last album, wich is a very crazy project. They’re a humorous band from Spain that are now a big hit with their mixture of viral internet-videos and acid lyrics. It’s a very interesting band. My job is to get inside their heads and achieve the sound they’re expecting, wich is sometimes a real adventure. Unlike us, they take video very seriously, so sometimes I have to remix a track because it doesn’t suit the video they’ve already done (Laughs). I’m also doing a remix for them, and will be doing more remixes for other spanish bands: Wesphere, Fuckaine and Polock. I ‘m also working on a new Positif release wich will include a collaboration with an excellent singer -Max Grosse-, and preparing a few live shows this summer. No holidays for Positif! (Laughs)

5 / LOS GANGLIOS

Nej, don't even try to compare that band or musical influences to some others. Because there's just nothing similar, maybe in the intention. To understand that ironical dimension sticking to the third or forth degree of humour, just be crazy, open-minded and let your senses have fun! The performance is as important as the music itself, as well as the video clips, since they always try to make an event something unique. Their live-shows are about exploring some cumbia- punk- techno- baladas, played by two spanish brothers XoxĂŠ & Rafael from 'Montijo' and a Gothemburian (Sweden) girl Leli.

Performances, installations, exhibitions and workshops in different places (a public laundry facilities, an art gallery, a protestant temple, a university auditorium or well to the Opera).

Benjamin Muzzin – La multiplicité du mouvement I start this fest with «Full Turn», a piece akin to the principle of ‘thaumatrop’ with the rotary movement of two screens. The artist designer from Switzerland (Genève very precisely), Benjamin Muzzin explores the parts of the 3D, of the moving image, molecules of images and the subject in perspective. The light is a key element of its visual compositions and his creations more widely. It gives the impetus of a new history and just establish a report almost heavenly and divine with the form, the drawing, the color. Design. The design breathed into him a precision of the gesture, the visual art refines the scope of his creative freedom. Lines. Benjamin Muzzin is amused to go from a universe to another: videoclip watered down and full of synth pop, darker video and sleek lines, air installation in situ, interactive and participatory ones, ... Earlier ultra poetic, sometimes very pragmatic, but never tragic, his works is perfectly accessible, we are opening the doors of a surmesure technology and ...universal...language? www.benjaminmuzzin.ch

Pierce Warnecke – Quand l’objet devient bruit et lumière… My third appointment on this festival is nothing less than Pierce Warnecke and his installation «A Scanner Darkly» to the Gallery H . A scene between scan technology and organic materials. Scuba diving in the darkness of this small room: to my right a screen, to my left a table with a circular scanner and mysterious objects and all around me, the public. Difficult in a first time to understand what is going on. I will have to observe the interaction with the public, listen to the background sound and the process of the scanner, and then analyze the screen to decipher the installation. Exploration. It’s the word I’d rather give to talk about this work and specially about the œuvre of Pierce into the digital sphere. Movements, forms, sounds and volumes define his work. He actually describes it as a global investigation, a serie of tests, based on an idea, a question, a fact, a comment. To resume, all except nothing! « I often like to imagine a paradigm bordering on the real, a kind of fictional questioning. The ‘responses’ elaborated from the initial subject use video, light, programming, musical compositions, field recordings, found objects...I generally set up a laboratory at my studio to test combinations of these elements. The resulting ‘scenes’ are organized on different time scales, depending if it’s a performance, an online video or an installation ».

Le questionnement. It’s what gives Pierce Warnecke a way to think a work to explore what’s it’s worth, to the right balance. « What matters to me is the question; this is what we do as humans, we ask questions. It has given way to many great achievements; it has given us structures, languages, explanations and fictions...I often find sad that so many works of art already giving answers. For me a good question leads to more questions, not answers. The same is true of a work of art ». Literature and cinema. Largely inspired by these two artistic fields (Kafka, Lynch, Buñuel, Borges, Marker, Sebald, etc. ), I found then some of these aesthetic in its installation. Intriguing, it requires the spectator to participate by touching, moving, placing objects to observe and analyze the very purpose of the work. Objet. «The objects I use in this piece follow a pretty systematic selection process. They are all made of fractions of something larger, but in their current found state have been degraded beyond recognition of their originally intend function.They have therefore lost quite a bit of their social and symbolic attachments». Digital art. He is interested in digital art « as a means, as a tool to create something, not in the tool itself. [He] like[s] a bit of myster and things to be hidden and unclear ». More and more. His next collaboration will be with Matthew Biederman, digital video artist. They are working on an installation piece «Perspection» that questions perception and perspective of audiovisual information by playing with hallucinations and illusions in sound and image… http://piercewarnecke.com/

Suga – Natures linéaires / Nature lignes Under the pseudonym Suga, the Portuguese artist David Ventura boasts the digital landscape and visuals with ease and performance. He transformes, manipulates, picks up, pulles, stretches, modifies, complexifies, decomplexifies to infinity. He presentes us Transflora, an audiovisual performance directly inspired by the nature that surrounds it. Suga. I wonder if this name has something to do with the Korean rapper or does it draw its origins of the traditional Cameroonian dish? ... Not at all! « It’s the synonym of «Extract», «Take» or «Absorb» . Suga is the name I gave to my first A/V performance in 2010. This performance was very loud and didn’t even had any logical narrative.

I just wanted to disturb whomever was seeing and listening to it, as if I was stealing that state of mind one considers normal or natural ». Paysage. Like a thread, the lines of the landscape are composed to decompose. The links are formed to be divested, the canvas is revealed for fall into oblivion, the blur, the unfinished. «I rather work within that thin line that separates consciousness and subconsciousness, I’m inspired by the possibility of creating conditions that change the perception of reality, through video and sound». He likes build and explore this perfect symbiosis which may exist between the view, the feeling and emotion. Interpret the reality by the digital, that is all. Technic. In his project Transflora, we don’t know for the first time if the sounds are beaten and created by the images. I would like to know what kind of process or software he developed so to find this result. « To achieve these results, I designed small softwares to distort image and sound.

Some of these softwares receive the sound input to affect image and vice versa, but I wasn’t always satisfied with these results, so I processed it again until I reached what I wanted. I also used 3D and 2D softwares to some of the transformations of the captured images. In fact, it was a mix of already existing softwares with some that I created. For the live performance, I designed a software to manage what is and what is not processed in real time ». Mixture. His compositions are characterized by a soft mixture between art, design and science technology, as if the rational controlled the creation and as the imaginary could perfectly control science. «I want to play with perception, I try to create an aesthetic where you can connect with what you’re seeing and hearing but you can’t really recognise the real elements. For Transflora I wanted to use nature elements and, in a way, disguise it with other kind of forms, leaving only tiny details like the natural movement of the leaves or the sound of the brunches roaring with the wind, so I took away the most part of the signals that would

Transflora Suga (Portugal) http://sugaproject.com/

make you immediately be aware of what you’re seeing or hearing, and create a tough contrast among what’s real and what’s your perception». Racines. «In sum, one the things that most fascinates me it’s the boldness and the capacity that some human beings have to shake and disturb what we often consider as reality». He mainly draws its visual influences of the old Disney cartoons. He likes when several worlds intersect to not give riseto only one. No matter the universe, the forms or colors, everything that ishung up the experiences of the 50’s-60’s in the firstfruits of the electronic are sources of inspiration itself. http://sugaproject.com

MySquare – Diam’s, lasers et voie lactée Second stop for this opening evening of the Mirage: the installation «Crystal Ray» of MySquare (François Moncarey), presented here in live performance between the walls of the Public Laundry place. The space is quickly filled, the lights will go down to leave room for the intensity of x-rays, color and crystals. The substance of this installation is to make visible the invisible energies. The crystals symbolize the chromosomes and the lasers represent of cosmic rays.

The aim is the connection, the substance. When you are working with the technology it is essential to have databases: to say and tell something, like a universe. The digital art is only a medium». Future collab’. Even if he defends with fervour the cause Internet linked to the exchange of information, MySquare leaves a little to one side the scientific investigation and is turning more to the contemporary art and the opera house. His dream? To be able to integrate the digital art within the sphere of the opera, collaborating with a lyric singer, because «historically, the new technologies were developing to the opera. It was not the army that was advancing technological progress but the opera with the machinery, the lights, etc». www.mysquare.ch

CT4C – Trio, saxo, mao et projo My last minutes on the fest, I meet three cronies CT4C (Roman C. , Roman D. and Raphael) in the basement of the room Garcin, between two lodges, a beer and an agreement ... shipment for a terrific acoustic!

Metric. The relation to the metric is very present in their composition: a mathematical pan, a geometrical axis and the history which is being delivered. Roman C. : «When I compose I am not considering the metric. I am more questioning on what I want to say , on what I feel at the moment T and on the message that I want to transmit «. The three protagonists make up together to provide an overall color to the project. However, the two musicians build first a sound environment to finally work it in depth in interior. No musicality at first, but rather the proposal of a universe, of a particular flavor to which will be grafted internal structures. Has the manner of John Cage, Roman C. « thinks first of the glass to put the milk in it». A contrario, Raphael part of a simple object and very minimal, that it will develop, multiply, distort, stretch. «It is always an element that becomes an object of vocabulary with which I developed a language». History. The construction of this project is experienced as a show, a real history with chapters, pages that you can rotate. Their language is intuitive, instinctive, in real time. The image is generative: Raphael composes all the possible variables on an object and everything is generated in live with the interactions of controllers or the music. Scenography. Their scenography is quite elaborated: the character of the saxo is central, the machines are positioned on either side of the scene and are in front of each other doing an echo. As for making body with the visual geographic, their stage costumes (white shirt and black pants) reflects a certain rigor of the language here constructed. A perfect symmetry almost, a set of eyes and listening. But the relation with the space, the stage, and the public won’t stop at the decor or the costume. The instrumental kits are paramount. 16,8 kHz CT4C http://ctac.bandcamp.com/

Frequency range.16kg Hz, is an audio-visual performance embedded by computer and assisted machines, a saxophone amplifies and samples videos. Composed of 5 pieces, this atypical piece has largely evolved since its beginnings: duo with trumpeter with an acoustic and electronic ensemble, then a video and the final integration of the saxo. Roman C: «I built an instrumental kit which is clean to me and my

instrumental gesture. I have controllers, accelerometers, a keyboard, potentiometers, pad, light sensors, etc. Everything is fully multimedia». Raphael: «The idea is that by show we really use all of these tools in substance. I also mounted my own kit with a joystick for the video, in order to have some more important presence on stage, a correlation between what we are going to do on scene and what is happening on the screen and the sound level». Roman D: «I also discover a lot because I do not come from the electronic music but more from the improvised music. The unknown parameters of time on the scene and its development are of course more familiar. My aim is to improvise in a framework that Romain and Raphael give me. This is how you get the game in a predetermined form, to know what are the modular non-scalable parameters». Transdisciplinarity. This project, fully multimedia, advances or declines in function of finite forms, codes, thematic, movements. The three of them are fully participating in what is being processed during the creation on stage. We are easily took toward a unrecognized or very original and atypical language. Bathed by the visual and a few colors, transported by tones barely perceptible to the ear, this performance made unanimously conclude on sensations that provides and brings something to the public. http://romainconstant.wix.com/ct4c

you ever asked yourself about getting a bit lost (in the good way) and perturbed by an artistic movement, amazed and dazzled by some abstraction, not always controled and by something that you can't describe but you're feeling curious about, this is the right door to push. Yes it's what we call experimental results. Results because it's something so released about music, text and a general changing atmosphere. We can notice a progression and sometimes several ones in just one track. That's what we call Art. An elastic band of styles, indescribable sounds and performances, strange and attractive spoken feminine voice, we are in a time of the instinct. Copeland is so ironically way ahead of our own observations about a global culture. A spicky feminism meeting an acute general critiscism about our society making us questionning in every track. An insenuous but clear punctuation is exposed. We're being versed, repeated, numbed, named, asked, rendered, polished, attacked, beaten, and turned to the mirror in order to face our reality. Did all the mermaids whispering to Ulysse's ears were badass...? Don't think so.

“BECAUSE I’M WORTH IT” “spill a tear and then you cry for ldn is it the kinda place you’d die for? how does it feel to be lied to? but then again what’s a girl to do?” All music written, produced & recorded by copeland at Stroomi Rand, except “advice to young girls” and ambient keyboard on “l’oreal” produced & recorded by copeland and Actress at Werk Haus. Vocals throughout by copeland. Mixed and mastered by Amir Shoat.

-TI: Yasmine Hamdan is... singer composer -TI: You are a complete and accomplished eclectic artist. What are your symbols of diversity? Creativity, intellectual snoopy, adventurous mind. Appetite. -TI: Do you think it’s possible to find a way to merge all of these talents together? Everything is possible when thinking outside the box. -TI: What’s an underground artist in Lebanon? I will talk about my experience: I think i am an accident. I come from a postwar generation, music was a way for me to express both my anger and my sense of hope. -TI: In which landscapes does your heart stand? Olive trees, Mediterranean sea, Pine tree hills with cactuses. -TI: Strongest revendication « A singer must die for the lie in his voice » from Leonard Cohen’s song -TI: Tell us about the collaboration with Coco Rosie The 2 sisters are friends and i love them dearly. They are very inspiring and we really have fun Together. -TI: and about the story of ‘Hal’, your role in the last Jim Jarmush movie ‘Only lovers left alive’ I met Jim at a film festival. In Only Lovers Left Alive I am performing the song “Hal” that I wrote for the scene. The scene was shot in the old city of Tanger (Marroco). Jim is a very inspiring person and an amazing artist.

I feel very honored to have worked with him, I have always been such a huge fan. -TI: How do you switch the languages and dialects that easy, and what’s your aim about it? Well I have lived in different arab countries, being in contact with these different dialects and cultures is part of who I am. It was very enriching. Dialects sound different from each other yet they all come from the same root.. In fact it’s very interesting to write Arabic songs, given the rich cultural background. I can pick what fits best my melodies, and the character of the song. Each dialect brings it s own back ground, sensuality and cultural connotations. It’s full of distinctive imagery. -TI: Best influence, Many... Arvo Part, Asmahan and Mohamed Abdel Wahab, Zakiya Hamdan, Sheikh Imam, Sayyid Darwish, Fayrouz, and Oum Koulthoum, PJ Harvey, Neil Young, David Bowie, Kate Bush, sonic youth, Pixies, Siouxies and the Banshees, Cate Powern the Cure, Depeche Mode, etc. I also love Iraqi, Kuwaitu, Indian, Asian Music... -TI: Why is that important to create a mystery with that association between acoustic and electronic instruments? There are no clear borders between acoustic and electronic music, we all mix sounds an textures. i believe that a huge part of the creative process is shaping sound with silence, each instruments has it’s own characteristics and moods. that’s what really counts. -TI: Upcoming projects Many, the most important is recording my next album, will start soon

-TI: Morgan Visconti is… A multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter and visual artist. -TI: You moved to NY some time ago, do you think that was a real good decision throughout your artistic process? In hindsight, moving to NY at a young age allowed me to try lots of things out - bands, studio gigs, songwriting - very quickly. There’s an immediacy and positive energy here that I find lacking in my home town of London. Things move fast and that can be good and bad depending on what you make it. I still don’t feel established as a musician and I hope I never do. This city is always inspiring me to do better things. -TI: What is your definition of a musician in the present time? Somebody who can turn all of their schoolbook technique into music that’s original and infectious in some way. A musician can merely be somebody who has an extremely good ear and good taste. The rest can be picked up as you go along. -TI: As an accomplished artist, would you

5 / MORGAN VISCONTI

disociate the writing from the composing and recording? (I mean does the fact that obviously being a sound engineer constitutes a problem or a technical brake for a free creation?) I consider myself extremely lucky to have learned engineering, production and arranging and melodic writing and singing from both my parents respectively. So composing for me is a blend of crafting the song and making it sonically the way I want to get the maximum emotion out of it. There are times when I deliberately step away from one side and focus on the other but usually the two elements come together naturally in my head as I’m creating. If I try to write a song on just a guitar it usually sounds forced and I usually end up throwing it away. Likewise if I spend too long on the modular synth, I find it all getting a bit cold and lacking heart. -TI: Unity As a geek I immediately think of unity as zero gain on a mixing desk. 0db. Same that goes in comes out. Then then human unity, everybody getting along peacefully. A negative side to the word is everything becoming alike, homogenization, loss of individual style, culture and tradition.

-TI: What exactly "Can't say goodbye" is referring to? The lyrics were presented to me as a poem by my friend Erin O’Connor who at the time wrote copy for commercials that I wrote the music for. We had no idea it would turn into the project it did. The lyrics are about a simple and common scenario - a stifling but comfortable relationship. You want to get out but there’s no catalyst. Nothing terrible has happened yet. It feels like where you desperately need to break up with someone but still love them at a human level and you don’t want to hurt them. -TI: A murmur Something to do with the heart. A broken heart? Apparently it’s a noisy and turbulent heart (I just looked it up). -TI: How do you define your relationship with Cinema? Why is this aesthetic and context to the comics from the 50's 60's referring to the space and moon? My generation grew up on Star Wars, Battle Star Galactica, Space Odyssey. I always think of space as a context for heroism but there is that very lonely element to it too. I also loved the style and noir of older DC and Marvel comics. I wanted to blend the two concepts - space and nostalgia around a kitchen sink opera. My relationship with film has always been addressing music in relation to film that has been done. This is the first time I’ve actually storyboarded a concept and created a visual around a piece of music. My friends at Ever After and Danny at KJA did a stun ning job bringing that story to life. I’m also designing the visuals for my show in May which is a lot of fun. I’m learning Adobe After FX and frankly spending too much time on it, rather than writing new songs. -TI: If you had to escape from a catastrophe on Earth and your solution is to travel in space to another planet or element, which one would it be? I’ve always loved the idea of living on a “ring world”. The late Iain M Banks wrote about them in his Culture novels, the orbitals. More recently referenced in the film Elysium. The idea that goes with them is that we’ve figured out all our problems. Democracy, equality, no crime, no cancer. All of this is unfortunately still science fiction but we’re stepping closer every day aren’t we? -TI: How do you make your samples? I use 50% digital like Native Instruments Massive

and Battery along with recording old gear like my Linn Drum MkII, Pittsburgh Modular and Roland Jupiter 8. All present on Can’t Say Goodbye and the rest of the Ride album. -TI: Best experience Marrying my beautiful wife, Nickie while we lived in London for 2 years. Also being back in London for a while got me in touch with the music scene in a different way. Even though coming back to NY ultimately added the fuel to make that happen. -TI: Your idea of future With which sound system or machines? There are lots of things in the works that allow you to create music with the computer but not being restrained by a mouse/keyboard/buttons. A 360 degree holographic interface with magic gloves might be a fun way to mix a record. Recording the sounds produced in our minds is something I’d love to see in my lifetime. I recently read a story about a woman who gained hearing for the first time thanks to cochlear impacts. We’ll all be cyborgs one day but I’m fairly comfortable with that idea. -TI: Does Nostalgia represents something positive to you? Yes it does. I embrace nostalgia even though it carries a sad feeling with it. I think there’s a danger of things moving so quickly that we forget what was great just yesterday. There’s too much talk of what’s the latest trend. Next week it’s over. All of art and music before us becomes the foundation for what came next. Nostalgia is only negative when you can’t mix it with the present. Getting stuck on every single recording detail of vintage records is one example. Everything has to be vinyl. That kind of thing. -TI: The collaboration of your dreams Martin L. Gore. I won’t lie. I’ve borrowed heavily from his style of writing romantic and slightly creepy. -TI: Upcoming projects Developing “human label” further with my business partners. We hope that my project is the first of 3-5 projects/artists over the next year. Playing some live shows (Black Bear Bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn May 8th), starting to write some songs for the next album which I’m thinking might be more collaborative with other vocalists and me stepping back a bit into the producer roll.
