about

(ENGLISH BELOW)

Marion Cousin et Eloïse Decazes sont musiciennes, chanteuses et amies. Depuis quelques quinze années, chacune en ses diverses incarnations (Catalina Matorral / Arlt) et compagnonnages (notamment Gaspar Claus, Kaumwald, Borja Flames pour l’une, Eric Chenaux, Delphine Dora, Julien Desailly pour l’autre) s’échine avec ses propres moyens, son propre tempérament, à faire avancer conjointement, fût-ce en crabe, la chanson d’auteur et la chanson sans auteur – qui lui est contraire mais pas ennemie – les musiques traditionnelles et les musiques expérimentales.

Pour la première fois en duo, elles donnent leur version amoureuse, fruste, hérétique du répertoire vernaculaire de Tras-O-Montes, pays du Nord-Est du Portugal. C’est un bouquet de chants de travail, de fête ou d’exaspération donnés en un idiome régional souple et plastique, le mirandais - ici semi-phonétique et joueur - et à deux voix fausses-jumelles. Vocalement ça crapahute de fredons dévergondés en tue-tête à la lisière (aurifère) du juste. Les mélodies sont jouées comme on peint au doigt ou comme on colorie trop fort à la craie grasse, dans un environnement très euphoriquement dérangé, un déluge de vilains bruits : machines, boîtes à rythme traînant la patte, synthés nano-brutalistes, peinturlures guitaristiques, éclats de rire. Le moins qu’on puisse dire c’est que c’est vivant, très. Et constamment étonnant, constamment excitant.

-------------

Marion Cousin et Eloïse Decazes are musicians, singers and friends. For about 15 years, each with their idiosyncratic expressions and temperaments, and through different incarnations (Catalina Matorral / Arlt) and collaborations (Gaspar Claus, Kaumwald, Borja Flames, Eric Chenaux, Delphine Dora, Julien Desailly) they’ve been sustaining a relentless and wild resolution to experiment with a distinctive alloy of traditional and experimental music practices. Those flavors will always function in simultaneity rather than opposition in their works.

For their first time as a duo, Marion Cousin and Eloïse Decazes perform the vernacular repertoire of the songs of Tras-O-Montes, north-east of Portugal. The resulting offering is an amorous, raw, heretical take on this material, a sprig of work and celebration chants, songs of exasperation uttered with their two voices, so far away and so close from each other in a plastic regional idiom, Mirandese – semi-phonetically and playfully appropriated here. Their voices scale up mutinously, wildly, sketching melodies and dancing boldly in and out of tune, in an euphorically deranged environment, a flood of ungainly noises: machines, lethargic drumboxes, nano-brutalist synths, unnerving guitar sketches, bursts of laughter. Abundantly vivid. Staggeringly wonderful.
