Ok guys, I had promised so here is one link -first of a series- with the story
Folie à 6
Two years ago, the album of a forum-mate was released and his trio was starting to apply for venues over Europe. I launched "hey, if you ever stop in France, ring me!". He said "Find us a venue and a place to stay at, and we'll come". Bingo, I said.
Things turned another way: the third guy could not make it, but another member of the forum came by. So we organized an international week-end of improv in Paris and the session was called
Folie à 6 (should have been
Folie à 7 but one could not make it so... héhé)
We had two preliminary sessions at home, so that we know each others, then I asked some couple of friends of mine to shoot a session in a studio, and to edit it. That was a wonderful moment, really.
The result can be listened to on the
Folie à 6's Bandcamp page, and the studio video edit can be seen on
cnon.tv.
I hope you'll enjoy this.
About the participants:
-

Soundcloud and
Bandcamp.

Husc (NL), ambiant/electronic/experimental trio -guitar, electronics, clarinet-, whose album
In The Space Of Seven Breaths is the beginning of this adventure. Their album

their website.
-
Milkiss (FR), used to be a classic line-up rock band back in 2005. We split in 2009, but as I continued to improvise solo, two former MIlkiss joined me and we re-formed as an improvisation trio -guitar, vocals+violin, electronics+keys- between "rocksonging", trip hop, ambient, experiments: nothing prepared (just the old songs) and we reinvent everything at each session, with the audience, with the errors, with the instant mood... noisy or rock... ambientish or songish... stimulating!
The "v1.0"
Milkiss well mixed, and the new
Milkiss recorded "system D" as french say.
