Objetrouvé n°4

Recorded in a Quebec basement between 1997 and 1999, the 5 previously unreleased tracks from this EP are the result of the first musical experiments of Arnaud Lazlaud, aka Xavier Paradis who would, a few years later, participate in the renewal of the synthwave scene with his project Automelodi. «Between the hallucinatory romanticism of a vanished adolescence and relics of a disillusioned science-fiction, - failing to pay homage to a future that obviously would never exist - it maybe dealt with developing a folklore of the impossible ».

These songs, carefully remastered by DeA (from Luminance) and released for the first time in a physical vinyl edition,  have inspired a series of « record-objects», all unique pieces that unfold like small expressionists « shadow theaters » , evoking the futuristic, urban and melancholic universe of Arnaud Lazlaud’s songs, mixing sharp angled cut-outs to ink drawings or collages emphasized with spray paint. Like corpses, recomposed by a disturbed surgeon and waiting for the shock of the lightning to get up ...

The record, is released in 100 copies and available in two editions: 20 unique pieces in the form of a three-fold cardboard sleeve binded in black textile and inside garment consisting in original ink drawings, spray painting and collages. The 80 remaining discs are presented in a lighter «Standard» version, within a simple black cardboard sleeve (350g) with cut-outs and spray paint interventions (all artwork by Stephane Argillet Stereovoid from Peine Perdue).
