Vromb & Szkieve Le pavillon des oiseaux / Le monorail Hushush [2003] 7" (Collaboration release) |
A Le pavillon des oiseaux
B Le monorail
PRESS RELEASE
The monorail provided by les Entreprises Hushush will take you on a journey to our own World Fair, an exhibition for advanced technologies and oddities. Recorded on this seven inch vinyl is a visit to the Birds Pavilion, "le pavillon des oiseaux" as well as an overview of the site. Often remembered for the showing of tomorrow’s technological advancements, World Fairs presented many mechanical, electronic and magnetic types of equipment. Thought to be the way of the future, some of them remain now very odd pieces of history, yesterday’s tomorrows. This recording is the first collaboration effort for Vromb. The Montreal dark electronica wonder has teamed up with an almost Canadian fellow, Hushush’s headhoncho project, Szkieve.
ARTIST'S NOTES
Not my first collaboration, but certainly Girard's first. His fascination with technology and mine with proto-science met in the form of a short length collaboration. Two very varied themes, they are supposed to represent an non existing World Fair. It takes inspiration from Girard's own experience on Montréal's site for the 1967 expo as well as mine growing up not so far from Brussels' 1958 very distinctive buildings including the Atomium.
