I will slowly re-update and re-design the website, make it more clear in August.
Also, I will be in California between August 17 and September 2, I will perform a few gigs and I'm still looking for more opportunities du play [breakcore, noise, electro-acoustic, ambient, etc.] and / or dj [breakcore, noise, electro, ambient, etc.]

05.06.2007

Back from the tour.

I'm now working on many remixes, masterings and new albums and video projects.
More soon...

Next gigs and news So I'm on the road again...
This will be the last big tour before next year as I feel too tired. I will off course still play some gigs here and there but don't think I will go to the Middle-East this time except maybe Turkey. Sorry for my friends in Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, Palestine but I'm really dead tired, wait and see... you never know. I anyway need to rest a bit and take time to record and master many new stuff and work on some short movie/video projects.

The site is still looking a bit messy and there's a lack of info about the band's bio, discography, etc. I'm aware of this, I'll update every single page this summer, no time before. Here are our/my forthcoming gigs/performances, some gigs have been canceled, sadly. Some will be added as usual.

Yes we got them ! So the new 10" called Fear of a blind date is now available for 7 euro + post [wholesale price for distributors, just ask !]. You can listen to two extracts here.

13.02.2007

There will be some more updates [discography, etc.] as soon as I find time. I'm a bit too focused on the forthcoming gigs and masterings/new records to produce, remixes, video projects and son on.

I might get the non-Western compilation cd around the end of the month. They will be available through Syrphe and some distributors/record shops, sorry everything has been delayed.

The new Tetra plok 10" will be out this Monday 12 January ! You can already contact us to order it. And a new Kirdec cd will be available early February too !! More details and [cheap] price soon [If everything is ok, in March 2007 you'll be able to get the new Kirdec cd for 5€ + port only !!! Yes, around 40 minutes for a cd, not a cdr !! Check this site around march to be sure !

First part of the new interview [still in French] about the Middle-Eastern and Israeli underground scene on À l'arrache.

Première partie de la nouvelle interview à propos de la scène alternative au Moyen-Orient et en Israël sur À l'arrache.

Lives/Tours :

You can get all details [or more or less !] on this page.

In February and March 2007 I will go to play in Asia again [something like Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, maybe more].

In April I will tour in Europe again, probably with Elekore's guitarist or if the singer can come as well, then we'll tour as Elekore. I'm slowly preparing the tour, if you are interested to book us, feel free to send a . There will be some gigs of Kirdec anyway.

In August/September 2007 I will play in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel if nothing wrong happens. But I will maybe try to make a bigger tour : Belgium, Luxemburg, France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel. It seems to be crazy but why not !? It will be my last tour before mid 2008 or even late 2008, so I'll try to make it different. Any help and contacts for the European countries would be welcome [one or two gigs/country would be perfect, I'll try to make the way to the Middle-East as short as possible]. Then as I will stop touring during a few months I'll look for a nice place to live as I'm a bit tired to travel so much. I think of Berlin maybe but it's impossible to be sure right now as a lot of things can happen within a year !

30.11.2006

There is a new audio interview of C-drík/Kirdec on À l'arrache. webcast [in French]. This thematic discussion talks about the scene and my experiences in Latvia and the Baltic countries and a little bit in Asia. The next one which will be soon online and will be about the Israeli scene and my experiences there too.

[Oh, yes, in French this time !!!] Vous pouvez trouver une interview audio de C-drík/Kirdec sur le webcast À l'arrache., en français. Cette discussion thématique concerne la scène lettone et baltique et mes expériences là-bas ainsi que quelques commentaires sur la scène Asiatique. La prochaine sera publiée sous peu et parlera de la scène israélienne et de mes expériences dans ce pays également.

Thanks to / Merci à Ben Suicyco & De@dPsYcHo.

Also the site is a bit more clear and less looking messy thanks to the help of Nicolas "Ad noiseam" Chevreux. Thanks !

26.11.2006

Some people already posted some videos of the last Kirdec's show here [with some picture's and other band's videos] and here. The party was really nice and the music eclectic. Thanks to all organizers, people, friends, audience and people who supported me, took pictures and videos [Suicyco, Raphaël, La manufactor, Ingrid, Olivier and toooooooo many other to list here and to all bands and dj's who performed there, especially Nibis, Arden, Clan d'Estinnes...

Also, once again I haven't replied to a lot of mails and messages, forgive me I'll be back soon !

11.11.2006

So back from Israel for a few days. Tons of mails to reply, updates to do, recordings to master. We [Seventeen migs of spring & me] recorded some material in Tel Aviv and it sounds good enough to be released somewhere, so K-76 will edit it and I guess I will master it. Wait and see ! Meanwhile the two lives of Crno klank in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem have been recorded too, some new material would be ok to release too ! The party in Tel Aviv [drum'n'bass and breakcore] was really ccol too !
I want to thank again all people over there who provided me good food, place to sleep, good music and feeling ! If everything works fine next summer I'll be back and also play in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey.

Also I think I need to make a little break and will stay around Europe until the end of January then only go to tour in Asia. So if any of you are interested to book Kirdec, Axiome, C-drík, Crno klank or Tetra plok [our new 10" is soon out by the way !], feel free to contact me !

Well, more updates, stories, pictures and news as soon as I can as usual [yes, I will once find some more time to do it !]

17.10.2006

Hi, Sorry for the non-communication, I'm too busy this week I guess I will get much more time the next one. Some short news anyway : - Saturday we [people from Vegnord, the vegetarian/vegan/pro-animals forum] went to demonstrate against a circus [ab]using animals in France, some people from the circus reacted quite wildly against us, but it didn't ended bad, I'll post a report as soon as I can.

- I will perform next Saturday [21 November] in Marcinelles [Charleroi] in a noise/experimental audio-visual festival, have a look here for details.

- I got all the tracks for the non-Western sampler I'm working on for a long time now, finally 18 countries "only" as some artists are too late but the result sounds really good [mostly noise, ambient, experimental from Morocco, Algeria, Egygt, South Africa, Israel, Lebanon, Turkey, UAE, Philippines, Taiwan, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Lao, Vietnam, China, south Korea].

I'll master the record in November and it might be available at the end of that month. I would like to thanks all people who helped me.

- I will go to perform in Israel soon. I will stay there from October 24 until November 6, back to Europe that day. So, Syrphe will be closed : no masterings between those dates.
- Our new Tetra plok 10" will be out in November, everything is mastered [a new extracts has been posted on the Myspace page].
- I made a few tracks for some compilations [C-drík, Kirdec], more info soon.
- The M.A.N. vol.2 will be mastered this week [I guess today !], sorry also for the slow reaction and silence................. All my fault.

I think that's it ?!

18.09.2006

Someone posted a video extract of our Elekore gig at the Maschinenfest in 2005. If you still have good eyes ;)

Also, once again I apologize for the misunderstanding between thisco and me but I'm anyway still not happy about what happened with Loop century [the record labell in India]. And will also soon tell all the story about the shitty Trisomie 21 tribute sampler on which I should not be.

15.09.2006

Kirdec just finished to record a track for an anti-vivisection compilation.

12.09..2006

Hello !

Well, as it is easier for me, the news will be written in English. Some of the other pages will be written in English, French, Dutch, German and I hope to see some in Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and Arabic in the next future but please, give me time I'm too busy to work hard on the site [any help for translation is welcome !].

The discography sections are still not full, some releases are missing and a lot of tracks I/we made for compilations and remixes are not listed yet, it will slowly come too. You can also check Discogs which seems to be sometimes better updated than my own site, eheh [but still things are missing there too !].

Biographies have to be updated too and pictures as well.

Some links still not work, some are missing, they will come on time.

Recordings :

A new mp3 of Crno klank has been released by the Belgian netlabel Social fashion records, this is a kind of ambient noise work I recorded alone. Free download !

After remixing the French new wave band Trisomie 21, Tetra plok will be released on our label Textolux a new 10" around October. Five or six electro/wave/clash tracks. We also have a Myspace page now.

The long awaited Contagious orgasm & C-drík cd will be released in September [I hoped ! But it's already December now !] by the Honk Kong based label Noise Asia, something more ambient than noise.

Planet Aldol & C-drík have recorded a six tracks maxi and we are looking for a label to produce it. It mainly sounds old school industrial, ambient and noise.

A new Kirdec's track appears on the Audiotrauma sampler and another one will be out soon on the Chinese label Deaf blind dumb school. This will be the second appearance of Kirdec on a Chinese sampler [the first one is still available on Shanshui]

I am currently working on [too] many projects, some are nearly done, some still need a few more weeks/months to be ready : a few Kirdec records, Etmo & C-drík [an improvised session we recorded this year in London], Bubblyfish & C-drík [an improvised session we recorded this year in New York], Le diktat & Kirdec & Nova Ruth, Crno klank, Error & C-drík, Elekore and well, Imiafan & Tetra plok also have to collaborate ; I guess I might forget some... And the French film maker Gisèle Pape and I are still supposed to work on a second movie soon.

Syrphe will produce the first African, Middle-Eastern, Asian noise, experimental and electronic compilation ever featuring artists from Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, South Africa, Lebanon, Israel, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, China, South Korea, Tibet, Mongolia, Hong Kong and Taiwan. This cd will be out around October 2006 [and this is not a bad joke such as Extreme music from Africa was [yes for those who still never noticed it, that one is 100% fake fake fake !].
