Julie Rousse : Real-time modular platform on lap-top

This is the first recording of a duo meant to be.
Marta Zapparoli & Julie Rousse have met for the first time in 2008, on stage in the festival Sonification in Zagreb, in an improvisation ensemble configuration.

Their sonic investigations have much to share : an unconditional love for fieldrecordings, improvisation and distortion. Their organized chaos brings out sincere emotions, oscillating between rhythms and abstraction.

While Marta Zapparoli works with DIY machines and prepared tapes, microphones and analogic self-made devices, Julie Rousse plays with a real-time modular platform on a laptop. But they both use some of the hundreds of fieldrecordings they have collected through the years and travels as a base to their creation.

With Thunderstorms instead of Sunshines they deliver a pure and raw Noise without compromise, lively and in perpetual movement, always playing along the world's sounds with poetic gestures in unexpected places, even in the most violent episodes of this abstract journey.

Paris Tape Run 2 is recorded on a white chrome cassette of 40 minutes. The cassette is partly covered by coloured paper. The inlay contains a small sticker and a sheet on which are found the titles and basic information. This all is wrapped in white rice-paper and held together by a white or orange or blue or red banderol made of silk paper.

Every single copy of these Paris Tape Run tapes is unique & priceless… If only I’d be able to earn some spare money, as a night porter, for example, or even as a drugs runner, God knows I’d buy all of them - Harold Schellinx in SoundBlog

It presents a slightly unreal quality that I find very enchanting. Or maybe it is a sense of heightened reality, encountering small glimpses of the truth in broken images - Ed Pinsent in The Sound Projector

So here is the 6th and penultimate installment in our series. As usual, it culls old historical pieces, little-known gems, and even a few previously unreleased tracks from the greatest Japanoise bands, a few representatives of the younger generations (from all around the world), some rare tracks from the '80s, and it all ends with a lull that lets transpire what may be felt as a kind of undefinable mystery.

The Avant-Garde - the possibility of a new music (think about it). Then it scattered into small communities whose best-known protagonists are totally unknown to people outside that particular circle. We are facing this fragmentation, and one form of avant-garde (you could say) ends up scattered into several (not exclusively musical) forms. It is not in Avant-Garde's nature to create one elementary form for each individual. Other phrases used include "forays," "breakthroughs," "pushing the envelope," and then of course "going too far"...

The Sub Rosa compilations are dotted with a who's who of the electro-acoustic avant-garde from the past century, tossed in with a smorgasborg of previously unknown (and often very interesting) artists as well as contemporary musicians who are well on their way to establishing themselves within the canons of the institutional avant-garde. Sub Rosa has gone out of its way to compile a collection to scramble one's notions of the taxonomic rhetoric that may influence the perception of any of the artists present... (Aquarius)
