"...And now for something completely different" - as the Monty Pythons used to say! -, a new, and arguably a tad radical, project with Roland and Toulouse-based experimental electronic musician Alx Broken, exploring the murky territories between experimental electronica, glitch, noise and free jazz!
This is another one of these serendipitous types of encounters: I'd been following Alx's work on his channel (and electronic music label) @steakopoivre (Sub-eclectic) for some time but it wasn't until last month that I realized not only that he is French (a pardonnable offence, some would say) but lives in Toulouse, not so far from (the unjustifiably lesser-known yet uncomparably more beautiful) Montpellier! Le monde est petit (it's a small world)...
We're hoping to play a first gig together by the end of the summer, so stay tuned for any updates! Meanwhile, you can go and check out Alx Broken's amazing, wildly experimental work at @steakopoivre - and Roland's equally stupendous work at @rolanddevocelle2994, of course!
