Most geek musicians harbor a certain control-freak fantasy: free access to an unlimited instrumental reserve embodied by spotless performers, in order to serve insatiable orchestral ambitions. The mythical pocket symphony, crushed and packed in the Swiss Army Knife computer box of a home studio. Wannabe geeks Gangpol & Mit are no different, but they've taken the technological idiocy a step further.

Having toured their peculiar brand of audio-visual joy from Mexico to Japan the last few years, they're now ready to unveil their new stage show. Developing elements from their last album on the Ipecac label (The 1000 Softcore Tourist People Club) G&M have recruited an army of virtual musicians to join them onstage, designed, animated, and multi-screened with love for a very precisely synchronised extravaganza. Surrounded by the 1000 people band (unheard compositions and characters strafed across multi-screens, live vocals against custom magic instruments triggering technological cataclysm, and a melee of surprises and odds and ends), you won't be able to tell whether electronics, classical composition, inverted club or digital violence will be the winner in the end.

Open harbour, softcore tourist, foreign exchange Radio podcast

2011-03-23T08:37:00.001-07:00

For this radio mixtape made on demand for both french magazine Telerama radio and french blog Le Musicassette, Gangpol & Mit took the opportunity to pay tribute to music and people who were influential in the making of their new record, subjectively united here under the temporary banneer of international music exchanges, mutant folkloric reappropriations, western/eastern connexions and carefully traded exoticisms in what I imagine as an old-time open international noisy harbour.

For such a legal podcast, I allowed myself to include or quote more classically celebrated bands than usual, that maybe will sound quite obvious to you. Howere, I hope that the thread will make sense, from mambo electronics to dangdut upgrades, blended traditionnal sources, and an occasional anglo-saxon tiny spoon of lyrics.

Both avalaible on Le Musicassette:

Faits Divers DVD

2010-06-30T06:33:00.000-07:00

OUT NOW: FAITS DIVERS - DVD - Pictoplasma publishing

For their first DVD release as well as first monography, G&M and Pictoplasma are happy to introduce this long-time announced blend of freshly pressed music videos, wild derivative cartoon adventures, and various disturbing activities along carefully pronounced english uncanny dialogs.

Digging into a more narrative direction, videos collect a frenetical amount of sceneries straight from doomsday, while soundtrack starts haunting the lands of cinematic Italian synths, ghetto can swing, or imaginary folklores. Packed in strong yellow cardboard brick, the book presents the visual worlds as original movie posters and scene shots of the most thrilling episodes: hit-and-run canine casualties, technological voodoo apocalypse or terrorist confetti exploding everywhere.

32 pages book with 4/3 DVD, PAL, 18 tracks Stereo, All zones

AVALAIBLE NOW ONLINE, ORDER AT: http://www.pictoplasma.com
IN STORES: 01/01/2010
