alexandre st-onge: mon animal est possible

“mon animal est possible” is a collection of electronic love songs written and conceived by alexandre st-onge, whose purpose behind the recordings was to try to communicate with monsters and exorcise/exercise his own monstrosity through them, thus making possible his own animal.

a collection of eight pieces of just under 40 minutes, “mon animal est possible” reveals st-onge at his most melodious and sensuous thus far. the album is largely centered on vocals, both those of st-onge and his partner fanny. this is the polar opposite of his debut solo effort released by alien8 back in 1999; st-onge has traded in massive passages of near silence for lush ballads and love songs filled with vocals and cinematic backgrounds.

it is rather difficult to draw contemporary comparisons to this recording, although one may be reminded of the recently reissued classic “l’enfant assassin des mouches” by jean claude vannier. in terms of more recently released music similarities could be drawn to the experimental passages from vocalists like scott walker and robert wyatt.

alexandre st-onge has been releasing music with alien8 recordings for over eight years beginning with his debut solo effort “image/negation” as our thirteenth release back in may 1999. since then we have released his work as a member of shalabi effect, his trio with david kristian and sam shalabi as well as his kraut rock-inspired project et sans, not to mention numerous releases on which he is a guest performer. outside of alien8 recordings st-onge has released three solo efforts as well a fantastic body of work with his electronic improv project, klaxon gueule.

“mon animal est possible” is beautifully presented in digipack with artwork courtesy of alexandre st-onge.

welcome to everyone for this cd launch, the 22nd and the first of alexandre st-onge on montrteal label oral oral. this work is singular, vivid and direct, the 3 parts are glued together as a sound jewel. following his tribute to joseph carey merrick, composed and played at epoxy 5 par alexandre st-onge ce personnage lors de l'vneme, in montreal, may 2007, this not to be missed cd builds a relationship in between two monsters with deep feelings : the author and the man whom filmaker david lynch immortalized in his movie the elephant man.

here are some words (in french only !) from alexandre on that subject:

joseph carey merrick incarne cette ide, dj manifeste sur mon prcdent album mon animal est possible (alien 8 recordings), de communiquer avec des monstres et dexorciser ma monstruosit travers des spectres sonores. ici, la monstruosit signifie la possibilit dune relation avec linsaisissable, elle est lavnement dun tout autre sens qui jamais ne pourra tre confondu avec la signification. travers cette suite de chansons pop lectroniques pour voix, basse lectrique et ordinateur jessaie de faire passer travers ma voix celle de joseph carey merrick. il sagit dun rituel de possession de/par lautre, semblable une planchette ouija, o mon corps/ma bouche est devenu ce clbre moyen de communiquer avec les esprits.

compilation
volt-aa
2 x cd04, 2005
numéro de catalogue: oral cd04

this disc consists of original parts, recorded in front of an attentive public at the time of the volt-aa evenings in the year 2003, in montreal. the artists taking part in these evenings were invited to work according to following topics:

amnesia (•) 11:09:2002
change (••) 17:10:2002
irony (•••) 04:12:2002

works which are then diffused preach by their originality and the unit presents a great coherence. this double disc proposes varied spaces where contemplation, the diversion, sound research are honoured. there exists for all the open and curious amateurs of experimental electronic music. this recording was made possible thanks to the assistance of the funds of the music of canada and the service of the music of the arts council of canada.
