(here's another of my favorites. apologies, i couldn't find any appropriate videos to attach to this post.)
my knowledge of catherine jauniaux is scarce, and i plan on abstaining from any investigation that would demystify her. i'm not even vaguely aware of her discography, let alone if she has one that is extensive, non-existent, etc. i know only that she is an improvisational vocalist, that she is french (self-evident, really), and that she has contributed vocals to a few other groups. i know that this music, this album, is bound by nothing remotely terrestrial. the instrumentation is alternately bleak and lyrical, which measures out the incantatory vocal hysterics; some of it employs principles similar to musique concrete, some of it has eastern undertones. it is triumphantly defiant music, sharing a miasma and spirit that is found in yoko ono's "plastic ono band," nico's solo work, dagmar krause's vocals on slapp happy's "acnalbasac moon," tim buckley's "lorca" and "starsailor," walker's latter day work and fellow chanteuse brigitte fontaine (whose albums will be uploaded soon).
