More Info

Neues Material von LT. CARAMEL aka PHILIPPE BLANCHARD, der auf ungewöhnliche Weise Sprachzitate (meist auf französisch) mit elektronischen & Kammermusik-artigen Kompositionen sowie experimenteller musique concrete mischt, so dass immer wieder neuartige "Situationen", seltsame loops & Sound-Poesie entstehen; ein Schwanken zwischen fast Hörspiel-artigen Skizzen und Geräuschmusik. Einiges erinnert an BRUME oder INA GRMsche Elektro-Akustik, aber CARAMELS Montagen-Stil ist recht einzigartig. Spezielles Coverdesign mit 2 Vollfarb-Booklets & Banderole mit Metallverschluss. Zwei Maxi-CDs.

"423 numbered copies, complete time duration is 36 min (18 x 2). This release consists of 2 CDs, each with booklet, in cover, made of "ethnic" paper, also with real silver decorative thing. It is brand new never before released musical material" [label info]

"...The music is not far away from the original Lt. Caramel sound, which hardcore fans immediately recognize: many voices. Eleven different people's voices are used, many of them are French and English but also some are Russian - probably from the people of Waystyx Records. It adds that poetic feel to the music that is such a common (but nice and unique) place in the musique concrete of Lt. Caramel. I am told that the voices are inspired by slave songs, hence the title, which means 'forbidden song', although the texts do not relate directly to slavery. The instrumental part is a nice mixture of orchestral passages and field recordings, mainly street sounds. Lt. Caramel's music is poetic in approach, even when it's not always to grasp what his poetry is about and perhaps this is what makes the music so fascinating. It stands completely in the tradition of concrete music, but has a true and strong voice of his own" [FdW/ Vital Weekly]
