"Lemon juice & chloroform" by Rosebruit/Franck Smith is available for free-download via netlabel Clinical Archives (ref. ca413)
The 6 tracks of "Lemon juice & chloroform" contain the original soundtrack of the eponymous audiovisual work by Rosebruit + unreleased audio material recorded for the film — collapsing alternative drum/bass patterns, free funk-jazz, glitchy-psychedelism, distorted horns, noise/electronic, abstract break-beats… No external sound sources were used in these recordings.
Text: "Let us assume that there is a substantial difference between lemon juice and chloroform. That was to be expected and — need it be said that? — there is significant differences, among other things, between think tank and myself. There's reason to believe that chloroform and lemon juice are as necessary as coma for extrasensory perception. In a manner of speaking: breathing a so called toxic substance, such as chloroform, could increase — by combination of circumstances — creative activities in order to gradually create new physical and intellectual abilities such as ubiquity and prophecy. Consequently: a thirst-quenching liquid like lemon juice and an anesthetic like chloroform are not only different products but also the prerequisite to metaphysical introitus."
Rosebruit / Franck Smith - Lemon juice & chloroform

Zn'shñ + A Qui Avec Gabriel + Cal Lyall @ SuperDeluxe, Tokyo, Japan
[Video 1/3] Zn'shñ + A Qui Avec Gabriel + Cal Lyall @ SuperDeluxe, Tokyo, Japan
[Video 2/3] Zn'shñ + A Qui Avec Gabriel + Cal Lyall @ SuperDeluxe, Tokyo, Japan
[Video 3/3] Zn'shñ + A Qui Avec Gabriel + Cal Lyall @ SuperDeluxe, Tokyo, Japan
Live performance during Test Tone 61: Intersecting Streams of Consciousness @ SuperDeluxe, Tokyo, Japan (Recorded September 14th, 2010). Featuring: Zn'shñ (electronics) + À qui avec Gabriel (accordion) + Cal Lyall (hydrophone)
—Notes from official program—
Specializing in electronics, French artists Zn'shñ (aka Franck Smith & Elvire Bastendorff) creates expansive soundscapes of the highest order. Under the Odiolorgnette imprint, Zn'shñ has produced albums and soundtracks steeped in minimalist sensibility, influenced by artists such as Ryoji Ikeda and butoh legend Hijikata Tatsumi...
[here] Zn'shñ's sound artistry meets with the sublime accordion playing of À qui avec Gabriel, a Tzadik recording artist with a string of successful collaborations under her belt — joined by improvising artist Cal Lyall, who creates watery ambiances using effected hydrophones (underwater microphones) submerged in strange and hypnotic water sources. * Visuals & projections by Onnacodomo (DJ Codomo, Yasuko Seki and Ruka Noguchi).
