"Le tombeau d'Edgard Varèse" by Franck Smith on iTunes Store!

In tribute to avant-garde composer Edgard Varèse (1883-1965), this work for percussive devices and electronics presents a long posthumous march w/ dark orchestral colors and crepuscular percussion pulses. A quite mysterious funeral cortège in memory of a true sound-alchemist... (N.B. vinyl sections were made especially for this project, no external sound sources used.) — Original 1-track recording divided in 5 tracks for digital version release.

" (A) wonderful tribute to a musical hero..." (John Zorn, September 18th 2008)

"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."
