The solo project of Pierre Bujeau, guitarist from Tanz Mein Herz and Omertà, known as Megabasse, is finally making its debut on vinyl!
Back in 2019, Bujeau captured his modal drone-like melodies, enveloped in a fog of majestic soundscapes, across two expansive tracks.
Each track elegantly spans one side of the record, showcasing his masterful use of space and sound.
The A-side was recorded in the serene St. Anne Chapel in Briquebec,
while the B-side found its unique sound within the vast air-ship hangar in Ecausseville, both situated in the picturesque Normandy.
Tom Houghton from the esteemed label All Night Flight eloquently sums up Bujeau's inaugural official release, stating,
"deep plaintive repeating string figures that stretch into the horizon {...}. As they gather momentum, reach a crescendo, and then dissipate,
the notes begin to unfurl, transforming the guitar into an orchestra of bells, a burst of radio static, a flock of swallows under the roof.
Wherever you were, you find yourself transported elsewhere."

LP, 500 copies. Offset printed reversed cardboard covers, inserts and stamped labels
Released 11th of November 2022 in coproduction with Murailles Music

"Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee"
Very proud to present the most exciting all-acoustic percussion-based releases in years.
Alexis Degrenier handles time and space as the master drummer that he is, with the finest of touches.
Each breath,
friction, percussion, whether manual or progammed (metronomes, clocks) is skillfully executed and high-spirited, reminecent of Max Roach intentions.
As crazy as this may sound, all takes are one-offs, with no re-recording,
Degrenier's poetic approach will leave the listener dazed and grounded, in full awareness of living forms and surroundings.
The instrumentarium is comprised of wood beams, stones, marbles, bells, metronomes, clocks,
floor drums, shock-controlled hurdy-gurdy-machine and much more
Excerpt can be heard here.

produced an absolute punk-rock gem of a first album. (Standard In-Fi had offered to produce their first album since as far back as 2010!)

LP 300 copies. Silkscreen kraft cover, offset printed labels.
Released March 2022 in coproduction with Desastre, Cherbourg City Rockers, Tamed Records, Les Disques du Scalpel

Supporting the excellent debute album by Normandy based Raw Doom trio Frankreich
expect a dark fuzz-wah assault of epic proportions in the style of other Black Metal legends who augment their sound with crushing,
stoner-styled dynamics, earsplitting acid leads in auspicious lo-fi fashion.
The album is a powerful and dark scream anchored by heavy riffs with abrasive vocals and mighty stabbing drums,
caturing the roughness and the rare intensity of their live performance...
this one hits like a sucker punch from the shady streets of the harbour area

Released March 2022 in coproduction with la Novià and Mental Groove.

Et l'Immobile crée le Mouvement,

D'une Pierre lisse aux arrondis saillants,
se détache un tapis
de poussière

Diaphane

On croise le vertical dans son horizon.
Les angles,pris dans leur toile,s'altèrent dans des larmes
en Miroir

volatiles par esprit,
abritons les refuges dans le corps.

Quelques restes deviennent FESTIN.
Au gris d'être nuances,
Aux couleurs d'Arrêter le Temps

D'un Rocher érodé,
D'une Clé en demeure
De Ciels en Clôture

On devine un sol humide, sous la terre sèche
plonge les doigts,
se Noie.

Quelques traits demeurent uniques.
Au Bleu d'être chemins.

On entend les muets Hrler
et leur vie se Taire

La Chute devient la Ligne
Et le Vecteur crée le Tremblement.
Seul (?)


Alexis Degrenier

Normal speed runs in 45rpm and enables the listener to access a time suspending version while on 33rpm mode.

std infi 35. SOCIETE ETRANGE / CHANCE sold out
LP, 2000 copies. Offset printed ultra-glossy cover with two Pantones , offset printed labels.
Released March 2022 in coproduction with Bongo Joe.

Marbre, lasagnes, légo, lune, réglisse, sève, apesanteur...

Ce sont autant de mots et leurs sensations associées qui me viennent à l'esprit quand je songe à la musique de Société Etrange
et plus précisément à ce tout nouvel album nommé mystérieusement « Chance ». A vrai dire c'en est une de chance qu'il existe ce voyage.

Le groove allemand de Can, les brouillards fantomatiques de Phew et l'élasticité industrielle de African Head Charge. Tout ça et bien plus.
Société Etrange c'est une entité, c'est un nom et un son. Un son compact et précis, ciselé, travaillé, artisanal comme on creuserait
minutieusement au canif des chaînes d'ADN dans un noyau d'avocat. L'électronique analogique côtoie et épouse le digital,
l'électrique et l'acoustique, sans pose, dans une grande procession accueillante qui pourrait faire des ronds sur elle-même des heures,
des nuits, des semaines durant tant il est jouissif d'onduler du bassin en son sein, sous hypnose. 

Dans chacune des compositions qui jalonnent cette "Chance" le développement de la musique ne cherche jamais à profiter
d'effets faciles, de drops, de relances à la truelle, de percussions invasives ou de sons racoleurs.
C'est tout l'inverse, tout se passe sur la pointe des pieds. C’est la sensualité larvée, l'autonomie des motifs et l'économie
de leur déploiement qui rend ces sons aussi addictifs et envoutants. La musique plane au dessus de nos têtes comme une grosse volute argentée,
lascive et sensuelle. Lors des concerts du groupe c'est dans une communion toute lumineuse mais non moins rampante
que s'exprime toute une alégresse des corps suspendus dans un temps autre que celui qui s'impose à nous tous les jours..

Oui c'est ce double mouvement que permet cette musique. Dansant, ondoyant mais aussi abyssal et méditatif.
Cela nous dit des choses de notre monde, de ses entrailles et de ces trois musiciens qui sculptent cette matière depuis des années,
sillonnant les routes d'Europe pour évangéliser nos oreilles, tels des représentants en Strangonite.

Merci Standard In-Fi et Bongo Joe. Le monde ne le sait pas encore mais il a besoin de ce disque.

std infi 33. TEMPLE SOLAIRE - FRANCE / VOYAGE SPECTRAL sold out
Split LP, Mono, 300 copies. Offset printed ultra-glossy cover with Pantone 877C, offset printed Pantone 877C labels.
Released Novembre 2021 in coproduction with Mayo Records, Le Cri De La Harpe and Desastre.

Lazer-beam ultra-raw, all-hail!-low-fidelity tape recordings of a memorable night in Saint Etienne where both bands shared the bill.
The split LP features both band's full set, respectively 25 minutes (Temple Solaire) and 40 minutes (France)!!!

Temple Solaire is a raw-stoner trio starring local Le Club Des Gens Spéciaux's co-founder Bertrand Gaude (aka Tamagawa),
Mathieu Tilly from France (playing two sets every night on that tour!!!) and non other than Saint-Etienne legendary bass player Bariz,
freshly arriving in the roster after Nicolas Tilly's departure.
France play a rare 2006-era 5-beat-measure that night (reminiscent of the first LP's pattern) in a smoke-saturated and dephased-strobe-soaked live-house...
Epic!

Le Son est Multiple,
Du bourdon résonnant, de couches en suspens, on sort des corps de bois pour habiter la pièce,
jusqu’à l’infime fumée de lumière en éclats d’un instrument pluriel.
Les rebonds aussi longs que distants, poussent les murs jusqu’à l’extinction promise, restée dans son mouvement.
Les fleurs poussent alors dans un ostinato libre, en suspens, dans l’air encore.
C’est en existant par l’absence que peuvent s’étendre les ramifications et créer la première trace hypnotique et dans un temps Immobile.

Seul est un Frottement.
Les timbres se délient sous les cordes, sons continus, retards et motifs.
Nul ne sait ce que l’on contemple lorsque l’attente devient plaisir...
Ce ne sont plus des voix qui chuchotent mais un délicat jeu de désirs.
Le Corps vibre dans une douce tension de larges saillies.
Le balancier des songes se conjugue au sentiment de disparaître dans la foule
Ce qui fût invite à saisir ce qui est perdu, et se transforme infiniment.


Le Multiple est un seul
dans l’infime comme l’immensité.
la Pierre et les particules circulent ensemble, d’un vecteur complexe on devine une ligne-courbe, celle-ci devient cercle,
dans un jeu de rythmes entremêlés d’où émane soudain le bloc devenu Un.
Un seul jeu d’accords, Un seul Temps jadis orgue de durées.

Un Frottement est un Son
Un retour a l’objet répété.
De la tourbe émanent des pas obstinés, s’accentuant en empruntant les voies verticales.
L’ascension élargit le spectre pour sortir des terres et tisser des lignes de fuite.
Une voix qui monte dans un ciel qui décline.
Puis Revenir… encore et toujours vers le perdu jamais parti.
Seul encore le bourdon complexe, où tout ce qui bougeait encore devient fixe
Longue vibration où chaque instrument disparu en pointillés
Ici reprend la fin par la base, et le départ à son épilogue.
La boucle est éternelle tant le sens s’aperçoit dans les détails.
Le silence revient dans l’Absolu et sa diffusion

Double cassette, 50 copies. C-60 + C-45, Silkscreen printed mass tinted green cover with stamped labels.
Released June 2020

Original tapes bought in Nouadhibou, Mauritania in 2007.
The shop owner where these tapes were bought (Standard Maghreb-Arab) collects and duplicates recordings made by portable tape machine owners
that go to musicians' homes and record there directly.
In this highly religious country, traditional music is produced as a means of reaching God
therefore the musicians' identity is irrelevant. As proposed in the shop (and this catalogue) the only differentiation between tapes is the numbers.
Here 1254 and 3116. These recordings feature background talking, low fidelity sound, beautiful music, sand and heat magnetic deterioration,
extended tuning interludes as well as rough tape-end cuts... the african must!

The shop owner where these tapes were bought (Standard Maghreb-Arab) collects and duplicates recordings made by portable tape machine owners
that go to musicians' homes and record there directly.
In this highly religious country, traditional music is produced as a means of reaching God
therefore the musicians' identity is irrelevant. As proposed in the shop (and this catalogue) the only differentiation between tapes is the numbers.
Here 502 and 990. These recordings feature background talking, low fidelity sound, beautiful music, sand and heat magnetic deterioration,
extended tuning interludes as well as rough tape-end cuts... the african must!

Single sided LP limited to 300 copies with offset printed sleeve and holographic sticker.
Record plays inside-out 33 minutes, recorded live 06.02.2008
Released march 2020 in coproduction with Mental Groove.

This was the band's first gig outside of their usual confortable friendly circle and thus was perceived as a somewhat hostile experience in a hostile environment.
It was also where they met the fellows of Les Portagers Nature who would later come to release the band's debute untitled album.
This one does bring back many memories, and to be sure the time warp is clearly distinct, the record is to be read inside-out!
... and the story goes on.

Special thanks to Arnaud Bruil for helping us book that tour : meeting up on myspace (!) because his band's name was, and still is, France Sauvage... what's up motherfuckers?!! See you on the road!

LP, 500 copies, silkscreened covers with stamped labels.
Released december 2019 in coproduction with Desastre and Mental Groove.

In 2015 Tanz Mein Herz welcome a new arrival among its ever-evolving roster of musicians, the self-taught hurdy-gurdy wizard Alexis Degrenier (from La Tène among other bands).
With a tour already in the works, the musicians settle on a set consisting of old material (Magical Stones and Shiny Mud) as well as new themes such as Spiegel Haus, both built around the new instrumentation.
The selection presented on Dosses is taken from the very first rehearsals around these themes, as the musicians strive and wander about freely in search of new musical vistas and promising friendship.

Line-up consists of Alexis Degrenier, Ernest Bergez, Pierre Bujeau, Pierre-Vincent Fortunier, Guilhem Lacroux, Jérémie Sauvage and Mathieu Tilly.

3xLP, 500 copies, silkscreened triple-slot pasted covers with stamped labels.
Released december 2019 in coproduction with Mental Groove, Desastre and Ana Ott.

In June 2016, the great-outdoors music festival Echos asked Ernest Bergez aka Sourdure to produce a series of "mantras" set to be diffused in between each
concert of the twenty-four hours event taking place in the french Alpes. These pieces were played on the festival's gigantic
speakers/ horns system in the afternoon,
evening,
night, morning, noon... and reverberated fully in the rocky valley. This triple vinyl edition gathers the field-recording-like captures of the tracks delivered once again
through the system later that year by Ernest Bergez with the help of Frédéric Bernier, Joachim Brissaud and Julien Dessailly.
All instruments by Ernest Bergez except the Gaida, the Uillean Pipe and the Low Whistle by Julien Dessailly. This edition contains three complementary pieces
composed from the original recordings (June 2016 and November 2016) and recorded in Royat in May 2017.
A highly esoteric and cosmic soundscape journey, to be played at maximum volume!
Ernest Bergez deeply thanks Association Dôme and Association Les Villages des Jeunes.

Released 2019

En 1995/1996 Guilhem Lacroux, alors étudiant au Conservatoire National de Région de Lyon (C.N.R aujourd'hui C.R.R) en classe de composition acousmatique
réalisera la pièce La Journée,
présentée comme pièce de fin de cursus. Comprenant une mise à plat des procédés étudiés aussi bien lors des prises de son, des sessions de montage et de mixage, Lacroux se basera sur les textes
écrits par J.B Vovau, interprétés par l'acteur sonore J.Millot pour évoquer la causalité, l'abstraction de la pratique acousmatique et ce de manière animiste.
La divérsité des supports (numérique, analogique, haute et basse définitions), des techniques (morphing, cut-up, séquence-jeu) et des moteurs d'écritures (sérendipité, madrigalisme) font de
La Journée l'exemplum d'une époque en pleine métamorphose gestuelle, sensible et temporelle.

Faune is a duo featuring Guilhem Lacroux (Toad, La Baracande, Tanz Mein Herz) on guitar and lapsteel as well as Jacques Puech (Jericho,
Duo Puech-Gourdon ...) on voice, bagpipes, shruti box and glass harmonica. The traditional themes they play are solely taken from the Cantal
territory (Auvergne), a very rich and diversified area in terms of musical heritage. Both musicians here aim for a minimal approach, using their
amps only to generate the lowest, most haunting melodies and drone possible, thus enabling a very rich and variation-full breeding ground for the
voice (sung in French and Occitan). Recorded on their first live appearance, this session is, in all it's fragility, a beautiful document where both
musicians are captured in full devotion to the Music.

Recorded by the band in Fontaine St.Martin (2012)

the themes and now presented to you on the record Une Autre Version De Territory (Another Version Of Territory).

Dance

This is dance music and this music dances.
We rub the music. We get rubbed. We get knee-deep in the music. We hang on it.
Dancing is a form of reflection – a form of listening. Our bodies reflect off of the music.
The music bounces and pings and pongs all around us.
The music is not inside us.
It is all around us and we grab it with our arching bodies - « a great ball of hot stuff » and we throw it
around. And it throws us around. It is soft and wild.
We dance outside of ourselve
« This is electric. »
A groove is light and subtractive space. It makes more space than it takes up.
And that space is for anything.
A Une Gorge is a dancehall.

Reflective space
This is reflective music and this music reflects.
When we talk about reflection we are not talking about contemplation, that is something else
altogether. Reflection happens between things, right there on the surface.
It bounces around- always moving.
Sunlight bounces off a window and blinds us.
Reflection is bouncing and dancing.
« And now I am free. I can hardly see in front of me »

Ping-pong balls / Gorge et bouche

This is electrified ping-pong music. This music pings and pongs.
Ping-pong balls are commonly used in experimental piano music.
They are chancey things. And they are cheap; you can buy a wack of them for next to nothin’.
Orgue Agnès bounces in loose time and dances and reflects. It is reflective bouncing dance music.
With little effort - or little to no intention – ping-pong balls set off a derive of small detailed sounds.
They are lit alive - light and lighthearted.
They jump for joy. I am talking about Orgue Agnès and ping-pong balls.
A lot of A Une Gorge sounds like it was made with electrifc ping-pong balls bouncing inside of a throat or
a mouth.
A mouth-full of electricity.
A throat (like a mouth) is a filter.
« wah wah woah wow-wah. »
A mouth-throat is a wah. Une gorge is a dancehall.
Orgue Agnès A Une Gorge and this music sounds like it was made inside of one.
As strange and wonderful as it sounds.

std infi 25. ZIZI / ZIZI sold out
Cassette (C-62), 100 copies, original engraved and assembled covers by hand.
Released 2018
Zizi (aka Les Agissements du Diable) is a super band featuring members of France, Tanz Mein Herz and the almighty Le Vin du Solitaire.
This tape is a mash-up of a private three-days free-rock improvisations of the band in Saint Etienne back in 2013.
Line-up consists of Mathieu Tilly, Pierre Bujeau, Valentin Capony, Eric Vaudatin, Max Lefevre, Louis Dunbar and Jérémie Sauvage.

As a means of presentation, here's a little science fiction written by Yann Berne inspired by the recordings :

We figured we had hit Jackpot when the hinges finally broke under the repeated assaults of the crowbar,
and the lab door creaked open in a cloud of dust. There were machines alright, not much that wasn’t one, or part of one, or controlled by one.
But dust? It was a rare thing to come by these days.
Once the nanochips decided there was no clear mathematical value to dust, the world quickly became a smooth ball of lifeless plastic, endlessly crushed,
melted and recycled, replacing flesh, wood, fabric, even metal after a while.
We made our way through piles of antiquated devices, parts, and layers upon layers of various dirts, laughing madly as we smeared our immaculate
uniforms, stomping, rolling, inhaling the fine particles of the dying organic world.
After some frantic browsing, something caught our eye, coated in a thick pelt of grime that came off in a fog as it went from hand to hand: a bundle of
actual paper, dog-eared, crumpled, coffee-stained -remember coffee? me neither- a notebook of some sort, text, sketch, comic book, map, journal, manual,
bible, entitled “The reverse transmorpher, humanity’s last hope for an unclean future”.
Perusing the fatigued pages lead us to the over-sized booth in the farthest corner of the lab, surrounded by a variety of random materials.
This was an old model, prototype maybe, but we knew it inside out and hadn’t time to waste. In a half-assed, half-hearted pang of regret, humans had
realized they weren’t much without organic matter, and paradoxically needed a machine to turn back the tide of apocalyptic progress.
The way it worked was that you put stuff into it and it came back out as a more primitive version of itself:
metal came out as rock, glass as sand, plastic as a gooey mess. The electronic brain behind the process worked in ways no human knew, as it had itself
been designed by machines, and it was against the law to tamper with it, which was precisely what we were doing.
Hacking in took days and involved copious amounts of brute force and profanities, flipping her circuits and corrupting her database; so when time came
to test it, we were wild-eyed and sore as we shoved a power-drill in.
The Transmorpher took longer than normal to reverse it, and when we opened it, out came a heap of random rubbish: wood chips, gravel, snake skin,
nuts and bolts, half a trumpet, and all kinds of multicolored gelatinous muck.
We screamed in ecstatic unison and had another go, putting in power tools, clothes, computers, whatever we could put our hands on and stuff inside the machine,
which clearly had the time of her life and a lot of trouble processing all the junk, gradually spewing out the weirdest, most abstract matter she could
come up with.
Zebra cowboy pants, purple pickle parachute, spotted dick, a bouncy castle made of melted cheddar, molecules of hillbilly jazz, artificial chest hair, a miniature
Golden Gate bridge, pure mercury bubbles, a solid bronze cheeseburger, transparent grasshoppers, Braille pornographic material, and zillions of cubic meters
of dust, as if a giant mouth had suddenly blown on the great big gap behind the cosmic furniture, right where the machines had forgotten to look.
We knew it was a matter of hours before they figured us out, but until then we at least would wallow once more in the crucial muck that had borne us and would
soon see us off too.
What next? I don’t know baby, but this is one hell of a sunset.
- Yann Berne

std infi 19. GOLEM MECANIQUE/ MEDEA sold out
Cassette, clutch, stones. 30 copies, water coloured, airbrushed and stamped covers. Rodoid inserts.
Released 2018
Following her "Chant IV" (on DSD records), Golem Mecanique presents the 2nd part of her Antique Trilogy, Medea.
Featuring lullabies evoking matters such as the dislocation of the spirit and it's wanderings or the balancing of death and the ambition to be king.
Golem Mecanique delivers an ultra-sensible and haunting appoach to sound in this double homage to the Greek myth of Medea and to film maker
P.P.Pasolini using voice, zither and boite-à-bourdon.

"Many times I have been haunted by the landscape of Colchide dry and devoured. And the silhouette of this woman who murders her brother for the
love of Jason, who kills her children for the hate of Jason.
As a bird of prey, the incredible fabrics that Maria Callas wears act as many opaque veils upon antique mysteries. Many times I have heard with my
flesh the devouring voice of Pasolini. I hear it still, very well present.
Medea is a prayer invoked in the desert, the reflection of a fierce abyss.
Medea is a vain exorcism. I seeked to expluse the madness, yet it wears so many faces it taints a great variety of residues.
The voice has become a vector of incantation. The voice in the mirror. The word is a magic manipulation"

- Golem Mécanique

Solo work of free-improvisation/immediate-composition on acoustic lapsteel, banjo, mandoline, acoustic guitar, 12 and 6 strings electric guitar.
As David Keenan puts it "There is something of the late John Fahey's electrical guitar conceptions in the movement of Lacroux's playing,
particularly his last recordings, where Fahey's umbilical to country blues extended far enough to make of it a future wraith, the ghost of it's origin
come back as a distant dream. (...) Guilhem Lacroux works single solitary notes into soft sighing shapes. His playing is taut and loose, sounding tactile,
percussive note clusters, sliding between lunar notes. Lacroux works in signs and patterns, translates them into figures suspended in air, into simple
repeating notes."

PUECH, GOURDON, BREMAUD/ "S-T" sold out
LP, 150 copies, spraypainted cover - all different. Released 2010
Originally due to be an experimental release by Yann Gourdon on his electro-acoustic hurdy-gurdy,
this record has finaly gathered three of the most important figures in traditional Auvergne music these days;
Basile Bremaud, Jacques Puech and Yann Gourdon.
This record has been a starting point for the trio, as they have been touring with this line-up since, whether in
traditional concerts or respected underground music events. Far from being trivial, these venues have been
astounding successes in both worlds. Stay on the look-out for more !!
